Swedish Cardamom Cake Recipe (Kardemummakaka)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), and prepare your 9-inch cake pan by greasing it with butter and sprinkling with breadcrumbs.  Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift flour and baking powder.

Step 3

Add ground cardamom, then mix all dry ingredients with a whisk to combine.

Step 4

In a larger mixing bowl, mix eggs and sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Step 5

Add milk and melted butter and continue mixing to combine.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients, then mix just enough to combine into a smooth batter.

Step 7

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.

Step 8

Use an angled spatula to even the top of the cardamom cake.

Step 9

Place pan in the lower part of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when you insert it.

Step 10

Set the cake aside to cool, then remove it from the pan.

Step 11

Slice your freshly baked Swedish cardamom cake and if preferred, serve with a dusting of mixed powdered sugar and ground cardamom.
