First attempt at trying out cardamom buns! The recipe called for a particular type of powdered cardamom and a super dark Dutch process cocoa but I had to work with what was available in my area, so I used a different cardamom and some cocoa rouge instead.

I could have done a lot better with the shaping but I know what to correct for my next attempt to get them to coil together more tightly. They turned out tasty but a bit firm — next time I’ll pull them earlier to try and keep them a bit more soft and moist inside.

I follow King Arthur Baking Company's recipe:

    Those look really nice. Great first attempt.

    If your first attempt is that amazing. then your second one will be spectacular. Great job. How did they taste?

    GORGEOUS!! And such an under rated treat, at least where I’m from 😋

    An “attempt” suggests you have or might have failed. Um, no.

    I’v made these from the same recipe, and mine didn’t look this nice. Great job!

    Delish delosh! I’ve made the same recipe and they are not as squishy as an American cinnamon bun.

    They look great! I make kardamummabular all the time and yours look better than mine usually do 😅

    This is very similar to my grama’s recipe and way we roll them, it is a Swedish couple making them. Fun to watch.
