Ricotta Orange, Cardamom Pound Cake

Ricotta_Orange_Cardamom_Pound_Cake_1

Ohhh pound cakes…  It’s so easy to do and so comforting.  Before this one, I had never made pound cake myself but I always bought slices at the cute little coffee shop down the street.  Some people call it pound cake, other bread.  As far as I’m concern, I could easily put it in the same family as the banana and walnut bread or even the Anastasia bread I made last year.

Although the only difference is that this batter create a much softer cake/bread compare to the two other ones.  It has the feeling of a little pillow in your mouth, thanks to the ricotta and the added egg white.

I hope you’ll also enjoy this orange and cardamom mix.  It’s a new obsession of mine (I seem to develop obsessions pretty easily).  I recently made a tapioca pudding flavored with orange blossom flower and cardamom and it was out of this world!  Definitely a match of flavor to remember for future recipes.

On this, enjoy this soft and silky ricotta, orange & cardamom pound cake with a nice cup of tea as a fun afternoon snack or as a desert topped with ice cream!

Have a great Tuesday everyone 🙂

PS:  You can even toast it and add butter on it.. it’s divine! 😉

Just the perfect butter cookie texture with the delicious aroma and flavor of the basil.  For everybody who had an over flow of fresh basil last summer and made my recipe for BASIL SUGAR, this is the recipe I told you so much about.  These gluten free butter cookies are just out of this world and even Max who usually the type of guy who’s gonna go for the big double chocolate cookies with a ton of fat and calories beg for these ones…

Give them a try and you’ll see 😉
