Cardamom Tea Cake

This is a simple, Indian-style cake.

For 6-7 portions, you will need:

• 200g wholemeal flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 50g sugar
• 100g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 100g soured cream/yogurt
• few cardamom pods, freshly ground

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C
2. Mix all the ingredients together.
3. Place in a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes.
4. Switch the oven off and let the cake be inside for another ten minutes.

Notes

1. I always recommend all cooked food to be eaten within 6 hours. So, if making for only 3-4 people, make only half as much.
2. This cake will be magical if eaten fresh, but rather sad when left overnight.
3. This is great for picnics and school lunches.
