CARDAMOM COFFEE CAKE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cake: Cream together sugar and butter until fluffy.
• Beat eggs in one at a time.
• Add vanilla.
• Stir in the baking powder, soda, salt, and Cardamom.
• Stir in the floor one cup at a time, adding sour cream and milk as you go along.
• Topping: In a separate bowl mix together the"topping" ingredients.
• To Assemble: You can bake this in a few different style pans.
• A bundt cake pan would work well.
• I used two tall round 8" cake pans.
• Oil your pans well.
• Pour the batter in your pans- be sure to leave some room at the top as these cakes should rise.
• Sprinkle the top with your topping.
• Alteration: Instead of sprinkling the topping over the cake, you might prefer to pour half your batter in the pan, create an inside layer by sprinkling in some of your topping and then pour the remaining batter in your pan and sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture over the top.
• You can always whip up some more topping if you need to!
• To Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• This is a dense cake and will bake for about an hour (in a bundt cake pan).
• Keep checking on it by inserting a knife in the top.
• If it comes out clean, it's done.
• To Serve: Let the cake cool for a while (at least half an hour).
• Turn the cake over and slide onto a plate (if you have used a bundt cake pan).
• If you used a cake pan, loosen the edges of the cake pan with a knife, gently easing the cake up out of the pan.
• If you need to, turn the cake over and gently tap it out of the pan, once the cake is out of the pan you can turn it back over onto a plate for presentation.

Steps:

• To prepare oatmeal crumb: Combine butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (or cinnamon) in a food processor. Process until the mixture is crumbly. Turn out into a bowl and add the remaining 1/2 cup oats and walnuts. Combine with fingertips or a fork until blended.
• To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch-square pan with cooking spray.
• Sift 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cardamom (or cinnamon), baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a medium bowl until well blended, gradually whisk in buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in 2 additions, stirring each time to thoroughly blend the ingredients together.
• Spread half the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the oatmeal crumb evenly on top. Spoon the remaining batter over the crumbs and gently spread in an even layer. Top with the remaining oatmeal crumb.
• Bake the coffee cake until browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
