Equipment

  • 1 9x9 Baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cardamom
  • ¾ Cup Butter, unsalted
  • ⅔ Cup Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ⅓ Cup Sour cream
  • 1 ½ Teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Spray 9x9 pan and line with parchment paper if you want to lift out for easy cutting. Parchment paper is optional.
  • Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cardamom in bowl and mix to combine.
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Mix with pastry cutter or fork until well distributed and in very small pieces (like small peas).
  • Measure out 1 cup of mixture and set aside.
  • Whisk together the wet ingredients and mix with the dry, just until combined. Spread the batter into the pan, and sprinkle reserved crumbs evenly over top.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

You can substitute cinnamon or allspice for the cardamom.
This is a tall cake so do not use a smaller pan or you will have too much batter.
