Another vintage postcard from Nuremberg.
I had a hankering for something sweet and pumpkiny but not pie, so I just jazzed up the Irish Cardamom Cake recipe [Edit, 2013: veganized recipe coming soon!] and the resulting cake came out perfectly. Moist, flavorful, easy.
Preheat oven to 350º.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. each of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Mix wet ingredients, fold in dry ingredients, pour into greased 9″ loaf pans, bake for 45 minutes. Yields two.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
(Note: I have become a vegan since I wrote this post. A veganized recipe is forthcoming!)
