Vanilla Cardamom Pound cake

This cake is very yummy. It's from Gourmet (March 2009).  A traditional pound cake infused with cardamom seeds and vanilla pods (I put in vanilla as well because I love vanilla).  The cake gets better over time as the flavors become more pronounced. Served with strawberries and whipped cream, the cake almost melts in your mouth. I cooked it in two loaf pans (the recipe says use a bundt cake pan).
