Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

This cake was so easy to make and it turned out so well! The cardamom flavor is subtle but it really shines through. The crumb topping is the perfect finishing touch.

I've made this cardamom crumb cake several times now, and it's always a hit. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the crumb topping is perfectly crunchy. I love that I can use fresh or ground cardamom, depending on what I have on hand.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg next time.

I didn't have any cardamom on hand, so I used cinnamon instead. The cake still turned out great! I think the cinnamon gave it a nice warm flavor.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover cardamom. I had some leftover from making chai tea, and I didn't want it to go to waste. This cake was the perfect solution!

I was a bit hesitant to try this cake because I'm not a big fan of cardamom, but I'm so glad I did! The cardamom flavor is very mild and it pairs perfectly with the citrus. The cake is also very moist and the crumb topping is delicious.

This cardamom crumb cake was a delightful treat! The combination of cardamom and citrus flavors was perfectly balanced, and the crumb topping added a wonderful texture. I used fresh cardamom pods, which I ground myself, and the flavor was amazing. I
