LINGONBERRY-CARDAMOM CAKE
Our family is Scandinavian, and we love using almonds, cardamom and lingonberries in desserts, as in this cardamom cake. If lingonberry jam is difficult to obtain, you can use pureed cranberry sauce with a little lemon juice to get a similar sweet-tart flavor. Whipped cream is a perfect topping for this Scandinavian-inspired dessert. -Barbara Kvale, Cologne, Minnesota

Top Recipe Tips
- If you can't find fresh or unsweetened cranberries, use an equal amount of fresh or unsweetened strawberries or blueberries.
- Feel free to use all-purpose or self-rising gluten-free flours.
- If you don't add cinnamon, add 2 teaspoons of ground cardamom mixed with all-purpose or self-rising gluten-free flours.
- Make sure to press the cake batter down when spreading it in the pan to ensure there are no gaps or air bubbles.
