The cardomom in this is very subtle, I wish I could have added the nuts & raisins to mine but I had visitors & missed the "beep" so mine was just cardomom bread, lovely with jam too. Oh I forgot to mention I used coconut milk powder as I only realised at the last minute that I didn't have any skim milk powder, still worked a treat & went well with the cardomom too.

This is a really lovely bread. It's sweet and lightly fruity. I used a 1/3 cup of ground almonds in the bread dough and 1/4 cup of dark raisins (what I had) and Splenda for the sugar. The cardamom is a grand touch. The recipe works beautifully and the dough is a delight to work with. This is a grand tea bread and I'm sure that it will make lovely toast. Made for Photo Tag.
