We made these into cupcakes and skipped the frosting -- if using the frosting this equals 5 WW points. I figure without the frosting this is 4 pts/serving. Recipe source: WW Heathy Cooking Basics.

NORWEGIAN CARDAMOM CAKE

Serve this with coffee or tea. As per Dreamer's suggestion in her review, I have changed the amount of vanilla wafers needed. Crush enough wafers to have enough crumbs to coat your pan.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 -10 vanilla wafer cookies, crushed into crumbs
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup sour cream
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter; dust with cookie crumbs. Set aside.
Combine flour and baking soda in small bowl; set aside.
Place sugar and butter in bowl of electric mixer; beat until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, about 5 minutes total.
Beat in cardamom and cinnamon.
Add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Add sour cream; beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour batter into pan.
Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
Let stand 5 minutes; turn out on a wire rack. Cool completely.
Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients: This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The cooking time may vary depending on the size and shape of the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This banana cardamom cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of bananas and cardamom gives the cake a unique and flavorful taste. The cake is also moist and tender, thanks to the addition of sour cream and buttermilk. Whether you make it as a cake or cupcakes, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
