Cardamom- A quintessential ingredient in any traditional Indian dessert. I love cardamom so much, that I try to incorporate the wonderful spice in most of my dishes including savory and sweet:) Here is my try on a cake that's flavored with one of the most exotic spice, cardamom. A perfectly healthy cake!
