Directions

That’s one of the easiest coffee cakes to try. You will only need to make the basic cardamom cake and coffee glaze. And the overall baking solution suits well any event, so let’s start.

Steps

1 Done	This cake doesn't need too many exotic components to make it. Prepare everything you need before starting all these baking matters.
2 Done	Grind the cardamom. The freshly ground spices always provide more flavor.
3 Done	Combine the regular flour with cornmeal and salt.
4 Done	Pour the ground cardamom over the dry ingredients.
5 Done	Combine with baking powder.
6 Done	Pulse 2 tbsp of sugar and walnuts in the food processor until they are finely ground, but that shouldn't take too long, as otherwise you'll get the praline paste instead.
7 Done	Get the margarine and the rest of sugar combined in the mixing bowl.
8 Done	Use the electric mixer to whisk them on medium speed. The mixture should become light in its texture.
9 Done	Beat the eggs into the glass. This way it will be easier to transfer them into the mixing bowl. Slightly whisk.
10 Done	Add the rum flavor into the eggs.
11 Done	Gradually pour the egg mixture into the bowl of your food processor.
12 Done	The batter should be beaten until it's pale yellow.
13 Done	Mix the walnut paste into the batter.
14 Done	Pour 2 1/2 tablespoons of your flour mixture into the bowl with low speed of the mixer. Then add 1 tbsp sour cream.
15 Done	Keep changing these two components when adding them. But you should end with the sour cream.
16 Done	Make the breadcrumbs.
17 Done	Watch the batter, it's time to transfer it into the mold.
18 Done	Use some butter and dust the mold with breadcrumbs.
19 Done	Add a bit of margarine.
20 Done	Pour your batter into the prepared mold.
21 Done	Bake the cake for 45 minutes (it may take slightly longer, so check with a toothpick) at 180°С (360°F).
22 Done	Let it cool before transferring onto the cake plate.
23 Done	Mix cocoa with sugar.
24 Done	Stir the espresso powder into the future glaze.
25 Done	Combine with milk.
26 Done	Mix it thoroughly.
27 Done	Carefully drizzle the glaze over your cake. Enjoy!
