CARDAMOM CAKE
This is an unusual combination cake from my friend and my 2 hours of wasted hunt for Caraway Seeds which is a type of black Jeera seed , an optional ingredient which enhance the flavor of cardamom. Believe me,the vanilla-cardamom combo aroma will be too yummy to resist , if you make it at home.
