I'm looking for a quick spice cake recipe that would be good without the cream cheese frosting. Anything featuring cardamom would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have a real simple recipe for spice cake. All the ingredients go right in the cake pan so hardly any cleanup. There is no cardamom called for, but s'pose you could add some. It calls for a caramel frosting (no cream cheese). Its my husband's favorite cake. Be happy to send the recipe along if you'd like it. Sharon

Here is my mother's recipe for an oatmeal spice cake- very moist and yummy!!
Oatmeal Cake
Suzanne McOsker recipe
Cake ingredients:
1 cup Quick Oats
1/2 cup Shortening
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup sugar
3/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground Cloves
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Broiler topping ingredients:
6 tablespoons margarine
5 tablespoon evaporated milk
3/4 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 1/4 shredded coconut
Pour 1 1/4 cup boiling water over quick oats- let stand for 20 min
cream together shortening and sugars. Add oatmeal, vanilla and eggs- mix well. mix together dry ingredients(flour, spices, baking soda and salt) mix well until blended. Pour batter into a greased 13x9 in baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for aprox 30-35 min(until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean)
prep the broiler topping shortly before baking of cake is complete. Once cake is done, remove cake and turn on broiler to high.
Spread the broiler topping on the hot cake and replace in the oven. Watch closely and remove cake when topping is light brown and bubbly. Watch very closely-coconut will burn.
This recipe is definitely not organic or healthy but can definitely be considered as comfort food in my book.
