Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F

Step 2

Butter a small cake pan and line bottom with parchment. Dust pan with flour. Tap out any excess.

Step 3

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add in eggs. Mix. Then add vanilla. Mix.

Step 6

Incorporate the flour mixture and milk in batches of three. Alternate between mixing in flour and mixing in milk until just blended and smooth.

Step 7

Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake 27-34 minutes until lightly golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Step 8

Make glaze: combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. If glaze is too thick, add more milk 1 tbsp at a time. Add more powdered sugar as needed if glaze is too runny.

Step 9

When cake is fully cooled, pour glaze over top and let set, approximately 10 minutes.
