Pear and Cardamom Cake Recipe | Loulou

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• A pinch of salt – around 1/8 tsp
• 1/2 cup sugar OR 2/3 cup if you want a sweeter version (note: 1/2 cup sugar yields a lightly sweetened cake, which might not be to everyone’s liking. It’s like a muffin’s amount of sweetness.)
• 1/3 cup olive oil. (Just under 6 tablespoons) – I promise your cake won’t taste anything like olives, but feel free to use vegetable oil if you prefer.
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp Lemon juice or plain vinegar
• 3 tbsp rum or brandy (or fruit juice)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
