Try this super moist and flavor-packed recipe for a Cardamom-Pear Cake with sweet honey. It’s not only pretty, but absolutely delicious (and if you omit the honey, fully vegan).
I rediscovered cardamom a few weeks ago when making hot cocoa and I added a few pinches of this aromatic spice. I kind of become hooked on it, as it makes every dish pop with flavours and it brings back the memories of last year autumn, when we were living in the Middle East. Oh, and it pairs so nicely with pears. Which, when in season are a staple in our pantry.
