Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and ground cardamom. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing gently until just combined to maintain a tender crumb.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy the warm aromas and delightful cardamom flavor with your coffee.
Notes
- For extra texture, consider adding a streusel topping made from brown sugar, butter, and flour before baking.
- If sour cream is unavailable, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- The cake keeps well for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
