CARDAMOM STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cardamom pods on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely. Finely grind cardamom in a spice grinder. Pass through a large-mesh sieve; set aside.
• Make the streusel: Whisk flour, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and the salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
• Coat a 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• Make the cake: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, the cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the yogurt. Mix in vanilla.
• Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 cups streusel. Top with remaining batter. Squeeze remaining streusel into large and small clumps; sprinkle on top of batter. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan by slightly raising removable center piece; invert onto baking sheet, and then reinvert onto wire rack to cool completely.

• Oil your pans well.
• Pour the batter in your pans- be sure to leave some room at the top as these cakes should rise.
• Sprinkle the top with your topping.
• Alteration: Instead of sprinkling the topping over the cake, you might prefer to pour half your batter in the pan, create an inside layer by sprinkling in some of your topping and then pour the remaining batter in your pan and sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture over the top.

• To Serve: Let the cake cool for a while (at least half an hour).
• Turn the cake over and slide onto a plate (if you have used a bundt cake pan).
• If you used a cake pan, loosen the edges of the cake pan with a knife, gently easing the cake up out of the pan.
• If you need to, turn the cake over and gently tap it out of the pan, once the cake is out of the pan you can turn it back over onto a plate for presentation.

PLUM COFFEE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR & CARDAMOM STREUSEL

Steps:

• 1. # Make the streusel: # Put the flour, sugar, kosher salt, and cardamom in a small mixing bowl and stir the ingredients with a fork until thoroughly combined. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir with the fork until the mixture resembles a clumpy dough. Using your fingers, break the mixture into pistachio-size clumps and large crumbs. (If the streusel is sandy and won't clump, add a little more melted butter, 1 tsp. at a time.) Refrigerate the streusel while you prepare the cake batter.
• 2. Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8x8x2-inch straight-sided cake pan. Beat the eggs lightly in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, table salt, and cardamom until well blended. Add the butter pieces to the bowl and cut them into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a very coarse meal strewn with pieces of butter the size of small peas and oat flakes. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. With a wooden spoon, fold and stir the ingredients together until it's a thick batter speckled with visible lumps of butter, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Break up the streusel mixture with your fingers and sprinkle half of it evenly over the batter. Arrange the plum quarters skin side down on the batter, with each piece at a 45-degree angle to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the cake. Bake the cake for 20 minutes and then rotate the pan. Continue baking until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool the cake in its pan on a rack for at least an hour before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
