Far Top
I love cornmeal cake and this one sounded great in theory, but the results
were disappointing. As it turns out, it was my fault. Until making it, I hadn't realized there is a fundamental difference between green and black cardamon. The recipe didn't specify
which one to use and I had the latter, so that's what I used. Unfortunately, it was the wrong choice. The cake tasted purely of black cardamon. The second problem is that I found the cake
too dense and too dry. I did love the flavor of the coconut milk mixed with brown sugar, and I might try pouring that over regular cornmeal cake.
