Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 18 whole cardamom pods 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • Vegetable-oil cooking spray 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/4 cups sugar 3 large eggs 1 1/4 cups low-fat plain yogurt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cardamom pods on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely. Finely grind cardamom in a spice grinder. Pass through a large-mesh sieve; set aside.

Make the streusel: Whisk flour, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and the salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.

Coat a 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.

Make the cake: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, the cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the yogurt. Mix in vanilla.

Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 cups streusel. Top with remaining batter. Squeeze remaining streusel into large and small clumps; sprinkle on top of batter. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan by slightly raising removable center piece; invert onto baking sheet, and then reinvert onto wire rack to cool completely.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/05/2011   I wouldn't repeat making this cake. Unlike most of Martha's recipes, which I like alot, I thought this cake was dense and heavy and nothing special having cardamom in it. Streusel was same color as cake and it was difficult to destinguish where the streusel was in the middle of the cake.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/08/2011   Why don't you have a print feature so I can just copy the recipe? Thanks.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/15/2011   This cake was amazing! Easy to make, only takes about a half hour of actual work, and it looks like it took hours. Mine literally looked like the picture in the magazine and I am not that great of a cook. Delicious with coffee or milk! Substitute walnuts or other nut for a different taste or texture. Recommended for everyone!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/31/2010   In the directions, it says to use 3/4 teaspoons ground cardamom in the streusel and 3/4 teaspoon in the cake mix.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/26/2009   Next time I make this I'll will add more cardamom and cut the recipe for streusel in half.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/23/2009   can you use cardamom from the jar? If so, how much???  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/05/2008   Get ready for your house to smell like an amazing bakery if you choose to make this coffee cake. It is delicious!
