You a...I made this tonight and it was spectacular! You are so very right to emphasize that the butter, sugar and cardamom only need to MELT and blend together rather than pushing it to a caramelisation point...this will only cause the caramel to release less efficiently when turning out the cake at the end. My caramel stuck a bit...but I "recovered" the stuck toffee with a couple of tablespoons of blood orange juice and a tablespoon of rum (I would have used Grand Marnier or if I had it!)and it recovered its "pourability" immediately. I then topped the cake with this remaining mixture and it firmed up and turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing such a winning and truly delicious recipe...This one is being added to our definitive list of family cakes!glutwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835890757951092792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-48427965446270887032010-03-22T20:24:03.466-07:002010-03-22T20:24:03.466-07:00Hi Mary, I made your lovely cake and blogged about...Hi Mary, I made your lovely cake and blogged about it here: http://www.sisboomblog.com/2010/03/nu-yir-with-blood-orange-cardamom-cake.html<br /><br />Thanks for the constant inspiration!!!Trevor Sis Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265530630570337679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-13034195644780948922010-03-16T14:38:49.383-07:002010-03-16T14:38:49.383-07:00Oh, I spent the whole weekend making all things bl...Oh, I spent the whole weekend making all things blood orange: a b/o pork marinade, a b/o jelly with grand marnier cream, a tart with b/o curd, a spice b/o and banana quick bread.
