SPICE LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 3 (8-inch) round cake pans; line with parchment paper, and grease paper.

Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture and buttermilk alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture, just until flour is incorporated. Divide batter among prepared pans.

CARDAMOM SPICE CAKE-A DELIGHTFUL SWEET!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Grease a tube/Bundt pan with butter. Set aside. Combine dry ingredients and sift together. Set aside In another bowl, (I use the stand mixer) combine butter, cream cheese and Swerve. Cream together. Alternate between adding dry mixture, vanilla and eggs while you mix in between each addition. Add remaining ingredients and mix for 5 minutes on high. Spoon batter into pan, use your spatula to create a higher amount of batter in the centre of the pan. The almond flour doesn't rise the same way, so we move the batter to try to create the look of the loafs rise in the centre. Bake at 325° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes then remove from pan.

• Beat eggs in one at a time.
• Add vanilla.
• Stir in the baking powder, soda, salt, and Cardamom.
• Stir in the floor one cup at a time, adding sour cream and milk as you go along.
• Topping: In a separate bowl mix together the"topping" ingredients.
• To Assemble: You can bake this in a few different style pans.
• A bundt cake pan would work well.
• I used two tall round 8" cake pans.
• Oil your pans well.
• Pour the batter in your pans- be sure to leave some room at the top as these cakes should rise.
• Sprinkle the top with your topping.
• Alteration: Instead of sprinkling the topping over the cake, you might prefer to pour half your batter in the pan, create an inside layer by sprinkling in some of your topping and then pour the remaining batter in your pan and sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture over the top.
• You can always whip up some more topping if you need to!
• To Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• This is a dense cake and will bake for about an hour (in a bundt cake pan).
• Keep checking on it by inserting a knife in the top.
• If it comes out clean, it's done.
• To Serve: Let the cake cool for a while (at least half an hour).
• Turn the cake over and slide onto a plate (if you have used a bundt cake pan).
• If you used a cake pan, loosen the edges of the cake pan with a knife, gently easing the cake up out of the pan.
• If you need to, turn the cake over and gently tap it out of the pan, once the cake is out of the pan you can turn it back over onto a plate for presentation.
