MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Cardamom Cake Categories: Cakes Yield: 1 Cake 200 g Butter 200 g Sugar 200 g Self raising flour 4 lg Eggs 200 g Dried fruit of choice -(apricots, raisins, dates, -figs, cherries, etc.) 100 ml Liqueur; your favorite 1 pn Salt 1 ts Cinnamon 1 ds Ground cloves 1/4 ts Cardamom; fresh ground; -otherwise more Preheat the oven at 175°C / 350°F. Cut the dried fruit in little pieces and soak it in the liqueur for at least 30 minutes. Mix the butter and sugar well and add the eggs one by one. Mix in the other ingredients and put the mixture in a greased cake or bundt pan or mini bundt pans. And now for the slightly harder part: this cake takes a while to bake, so have some patience. If you make the big cake with all of the ingredients from the recipe it takes at least an hour to 70 minutes, depending on your oven. For a cake with half the ingredients (perfect for sharing with a few friends) it takes about 45 minutes. Just keep an eye on the process. Recipe by weekendbakery.com Recipe FROM: MMMMM
