Cardamom-Walnut Pound Cake
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling
YIELD: 12 servings.
A number of years ago I ordered a slice of walnut cake at a local restaurant that was known for their homemade desserts. The cake was wonderful and I searched for a recipe to match its great taste. I found this one and I think it is just as scrumptious.—Rita Glieden, Hutchinson, Minnesota
