Ingredients
  • The ingredients for this cake are super simple, everyday ones you probably have already (image below). Except for the cardamom maybe.
  • Cardamom. Use freshly ground or, if you buy it already ground, make sure it's very fresh since it loses strength pretty fast.
  • Vanilla: pure vanilla extract or paste are the best, but if you regularly use a vanilla essence, go ahead.
  • Unsalted butter.
  • Sour cream. Use whole, not reduced in fat.
  • Milk. Whole is the best choice for a rich cake.
  • Eggs. Fresh, large.
  • Flour and baking powder. Both all purpose flour and cake flour work. Make sure the baking powder is fresh, not expired. This is also called the flour mixture.
  • Salt. Kosher works very well for baking.
  • Sugar. White, granulated.
  • Extra flavorings: lemon zest (I almost always use it) and pure almond extract, both can be added.

  • Organization: always read the recipe first and make sure you have all the ingredients, at the right temperatures, and also the rest of the equipment and space to make it. This will make the process so much easier!
