I actually had to buy a new box of toothpicks a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure I bought the previous box in San Antonio, which means it was more than 17 years old! (Also, this cake sound scrumptious!)
Talk about generating a Pavlovian response. FYI: You can also add painted hard-boiled eggs to your Haft-Sin table. Painted eggs pre-date Christianity and have always been used to celebrate fertility.
Can't wait to make this cake - sounds delicious and definitely doable (esp for the newbies bakers among us, i.e. me). The Regime is really good. Kate Winslet is perfect in this role.
I'm half-Finnish and cardamon shows up often in that cuisine. Thanks for a new spring recipe! Nice cake for Easter Sunday brunch. Hyvää pääsiäistä! Happy Easter!
I made this cake and it is luscious. The hardest part was waiting for the cake to cure. Alas I could not wait anymore and had a little slice for breakfast. My husband followed with a resounding, “That’s good!” The cake is moist, and full of flavor. It’s not as sweet as I had imagined. I doubled the syrup, but did not use it all. Cardamom is a new taste for me so I used the full measure so I would not doubt its presence. The taste of the spice doesn’t offend me, but perhaps it is acquired. Happy to celebrate a full tree of Dancy mandarins with this recipe. Will make it again.
You make me laugh, I learn from your tips, I’ve always wondered about those toothpicks, too. Yes, I need to make this and I dearly love reading your work.
Thank-you for this recipe! I have a tree full of clementines and I can't give them away fast enough. Today I picked a bucket full, peeled them and stashed them in my fridge. I will find my toothpicks and give this recipe a try. I'm so glad someone else noticed that Claire McCaskill frequently has something yummy on her sideboard.
I find Splenda for Baking and Brown Sugar Splenda here in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan in my local grocery store, which is part of the Country Market chain. Of course, they are a local Michigan grocery store chain which probably won't help most people. Also, my local independent little quick type store in our little town carries both also, but the price is high.
My mom used to make cookies with a very similar recipe that were to die for. I want to try this but we’re getting so much snow I’m going to hold off till I know the power won’t go down.

Lovely sounding cake! I may try it with a gluten free baking mix for Easter! Thank you!
Oh yum

What a beautiful cake. I can almost taste it.

This sounds absolutely wonderful! and the perfect antidote for a rainy, chilly spring day here - though it is perfect knitting weather.
What a beautiful cake, with daffodils!
This looks good! Thank you, friend of Marissa ❤️
So...clementines...skin and all??? I feel a bit silly asking this but....
