"My kids just love this cake. The cardamom is a subtle and kind of citrus-y spice that goes really well with the apples. The cake is very moist too, it just needs a sprinkle of icing sugar. Comes from Canadian Living magazine."

Tweaks

I found it strange that there is no liquid in the recipe. As given, this recipe makes a dough, not a batter, so I added 1 cup of water to make it a looser consistency. Came out great!
