Flourless Cardamom and Chocolate Mini Cakes

As you know, I’m partial to a bit of spice in things.. even desserts… not that cardamom is a super spice.. it’s the “sweet” spice.. the one that can really go in loads of stuff…. and goes really well with chocolate…

These little babies… they’re not overly sweet… they’re pretty light… perfect for tea time… for picnicing… I’m really into picnic food right now, since the weather’s changed… so small, portable food is cool..

As you can see I haven’t dressed it up with anything… meaning, no trims no extras… however you CAN add some silky chocolate ganache… or some whipped cream… or some berries… a lot can go with this simple yet little spiced cake… but I didn’t need anything with it.. just a light dusting of cocoa… simple..

I think these would be really nice after a light lunch… or with a cup of tea… and I promise you, that hint of cardamom really marries well with the chocolate… very “chai”…! Need I say more..?
