Lydia -- thanks! I'll have to look into it more. Cardamom is one of those spices I enjoy using, so a new (well, new to me) application would definitely be interesting Birds -- thanks! Surprisingly, not overpowering at all (I was worried about that, too). The cardamom and the nuts complimented each other surprisingly well with no individual flavor really outdoing the other. Susan -- thanks! I had actually had a pineapple cake in mind, but it just didn't quite seem like the season...yet. ;-) Pam — thanks!

Did you find the cardamom overpowering the flavour of the pear? I typically find cardamom strong so don't use it except in Indian desserts. That looks richly delicious.

Cardamom is also the star in a Swedish (I think) braided bread that is absolutely delicious. Looks wonderful!
