Strawberry Cardamom Cake

Strawberry Cardamom Cake | An eggless cake that’s jeweled with fresh strawberries and cardamom flecks. A delicious light treat perfect for any occasion.

For as long as I’ve known my husband, food, in particular, homemade food and desserts have been his love language. Making the efforts to learn dishes from his mom, meals we‘ve eaten on holidays, or experimenting with Indian mithaais, gives him an unexplained happiness. I’ve learned his love language so well that I can often tell the days he’s craving what, and even though our daughter helps me decide our weekly menu these days, I always find a way to sneak in both of their favorite foods.

After ages of not baking,  Little Mirchi and I baked this Strawberry Cardamom Cake last weekend. She was so excited to make something for her Papa that he would love, it was the sweetest thing.

Here are some other favorites from the blog that my husband loves:

Persian Love Cakes For Two
Pear and Zucchini Chocolate Cake
Cardamom Creme Caramel Custard With Roasted Pistachios
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bouquet

The cake is an eggless cake that’s jeweled with fresh strawberries and cardamom flecks. You can serve it plain or with my cardamom whipped cream. It’s a delicious light cake that would go great with your evening tea or coffee.
