Cardamom Coffeecake

From the Great Scandinavian Baking Book by Beatrice Ojakangas. (As taught in a class for Gallery 37's World Kitchen by our good friend Judith Dunbar Hines) Cardamom is a sweet spice often identified with the Scandinavian countries, or with Lenten yeast buns. Try this pound cake for any season and any time of day. But be warned: The haunting flavor may become addictive! Photo by Roberta Brouse Bertling.
