I have never thought about adding cardamom to a cake.
You've outdone yourself with this one Jenna! Coconut and cardamom is a perfect pairing.

Mmmm this cake looks delicious. I love the combination of flavors, yet the recipe itself is quite simple (perfect for the weak bakers out there like me...).

It looks excellent. Would love one piece now with my coffee. I am also impressed with the cardamon coconut pairing...Big Kiss from Germany
looks perfect cake.i have never thought abt adding coconut to cake.
i absolutely adore coconut cake, but i've only ever eaten it slathered with cream cheese frosting and garnished with toasted coconut (it's the southern way). that glaze would be a lovely alternative, and i'm sure it makes the cake unbelievably moist!
Very nice recipe jeena. I love Cardamons & Coconuts,I'll definitely give it a try.
