SWMBO made a cake from a new recipe we just found recently.
It's a fragrant Lemon-Spice Visiting Cake, courtesy of Dorie Greenspan in the New York Times.
It uses ground cardamom, ground ginger and lemons, among other things.
The baker didn't have any ground cardamom but she did have some whole that she ground up with a mortar and pestle.
In the end she said I hope we don't like this because it's a pain in the rear to make.
We loved it.
Maybe I'll have to buy some ground cardamom.
