ALMOND CAKE WITH CARDAMOM AND PISTACHIO
This moist and springy Persian almond cake is generously spiced with ground cardamom (two full teaspoons). We like it with fresh berries. If you want to serve it for Passover, be sure to use kosher for Passover confectioners' sugar; you could also use a tablespoon of matzo meal in place of the tablespoon of almond flour, but the cake is delicious without it.

CARDAMOM COFFEE CAKE
I make this coffee cake every year for Christmas. It reminds me of the coffee cakes my great grandma used to buy every year at christmastime. The bakery that makes them won't ship them to me so I have to make them myself now.
