Recipe

I was inspired to make a Cappuccino flavored cake, but when I only had Turkish coffee I realized that this flavor profile with cardamom and cinnamon was even better. If you want it to look more like a cappuccino you could make the glaze with white chocolate, but I like the deep richness of the dark chocolate glaze. I tried making it with whole wheat flour and it worked well, but was not as light and fluffy, so the choice is yours.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
