Cardamom-Walnut Pound Cake image

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 it great taste. I found this one and I think it is just as scrumptious.-Rita Glieden, Hutchinson, Minnesota

The cake was a little dry. I think I would have added more butter or oil to the batter.

The cardamom flavor was a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little more subtle.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and fluffier.
