I reduced the cardamom to 1 tsp because I was worried about it overpowering the rest of the cake. Perfect for my taste. I will definitely make this again and again! Thanks for the recipe.

Just made it again tonight for my wife’s birthday and it’s a big hit! I double the amount of poppyseeds and vanilla and increased cardamom to 2 1/4 teaspoons. I think the lemon was too subtle in my variation. Next time I will use a teaspoon of lemon zest in the melted butter before distributing that across the bottom of the pan, in the step before sprinkling brown sugar.
Even so, the family loved it. Thanks for this recipe!

Folks really enjoyed it – and they have high standards. Looked beautiful, too.

Some adjustments I made… One person couldn’t have poppy seeds so I left that out. To the fruit layer, I added slightly more than 1/8 cup diced candied ginger that had been tossed with with a heaping 1/2 tsp lemon zest. I distributed that across the top of the fruit layer just before adding the cake batter on top. Served with freshly whipped vanilla sweet cream (1 cup cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract).

All these flavors worked so well together. When plums go out of season, I’m looking forward to using pear with the same other variations. I believe the pear in the topping and the cardamom in the cake want to be together!

Everyone loved it, and the cardamom was just fantastic. My second favorite spice; right behind vanilla bean 😉 Thanks for the great recipe!

Thank you Claire! You reminded me I need to make it again. 🙂

We’d put money on it! Meanwhile, this is such a big deal, we hear Vogue editor Anna Wintour is stopping by a cocktail party for the designers on Wednesday October 19 at the Mondrian Hotel – and that event we KNOW celebs are attending.
