Chocolate, Lemon and Cardamom Cupcakes

June 09, 2016 by Housewife's Whimsy in Cupcakes, Recipes

IMG_20160523_183114173_HDRWhen I made plain chocolate cupcakes I really wasn’t sure what type of frosting I wanted to make. I eventually decided to spice the cupcakes up a bit by blending cardamom and lemon in a light buttercream. The resulting flavor combination is sweet, tart and just the perfect amount of spicy.If I had decided exactly what type of cupcakes I was going to make to begin with I would have included some cardamom in the actual cupcakes. I probably would have done a plain lemon buttercream then so as not to muddle the flavor blend too much.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:209]Source: Cake adapted from Kiss my Bundt- Chrysta Wilson

Ginger-Cardamom Shortbread Cookies

November 10, 2015 by Housewife's Whimsy in Cookies, Recipes

IMG_7714Cardamom is pretty much my new favorite spice. I haven’t baked with it much before this summer, but when I finally tried it, I absolutely love it! It really provides a warm spicy taste and pairs well with lots of other different flavors. These cookies capture fall flavor spectacularly. They are a must try this year!This is a quick and easy treat. When you’re in a time crunch this is a sure way to impress each and every one of your guests without trying very hard. The cardamom and ginger pair excellently together. The cardamom/sugar sprinkle on top lends a lovely extra pop of flavor to these cookies.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:132]

Chocolate Cardamom Cupcakes with Cinnamon Orange Buttercream

September 04, 2015 by Housewife's Whimsy in Cupcakes, Recipes

100_3518 - CopyWhen Isannah visited for the second week this summer we decided to do some baking for her to take back to Olivia. I wanted to make something really special and different to take to her since she typically likes trying new things.I got the idea for these cupcakes from watching Cupcake Wars. The contestants were constantly talking about cardamom cupcakes and I decided to see why it is so popular among professional bakers. I wasn’t really certain what other flavors went along with cardamom so I pulled out my trusty food bible and decided to make a chocolate cardamom cake with cinnamon orange buttercream. This combination turned out to be an excellent idea.100_3513 - CopyThese cupcakes are not only light and fluffy, they are extremely flavorful. The cardamom shines through and the nutmeg and orange zest really make it pop. I’ve never worked with cardamom before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised by the finished product. It is a fantastic cupcake that is perfect as the weather turns cooler.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:96]
