Cardamom and cream cheese frosting with orange zest.
Because these were made with a Duncan Hines Devil’s Food cake mix, I don’t have a recipe. But I used that, mixed in orange zest, and they turned out okay; I used a mix because it was for my son, and I needed it done fast. I took the vanilla frosting I had, mixed in a huge portion of cream cheese, added cardamom, and garnished with orange zest.
Chocolate-orange cake, mmmm.
Something I learned: More zest. More cream cheese. More cardamom. I actually wish I’d sprinkled cardamom on top, and put the orange zest IN the frosting. Info for next time. I LOVE CARDAMOM. If it were less expensive, I’d use it in everything.
Riot Boy said: “Really good–orange zest was subtle, frosting was a little sweet but the cream cheese cut that in half.”
Immortal Martha says it’s a good thing… your parents can afford Cardamom to borrow from.
I'm a fan of the zest.
These look and sound delicious! Well, pretty much everything on this blog does. But then, you had me at “carbs.”
