Apple Cast Iron Skillet Cake ingredient question

[Guest guest]

The recipe below is in the files, posted by Chelsea in March 2006.

Can anyone tell me how much cardamom is in the recipe? (It says 1.4

tsp)

Or even take a guess? I've never used cardamom before.

Thanks,

Katharine

I'd guess that's supposed to be 1/4 tsp. Cardamom is a wonderful warm spice

that I think is kind of lemony. hth. Beth

I'll bet she meant 1/4 tsp., and it's probably a typo.
