Used to work with a lady whose secret ingredient was cardamom - always just a little in white cakes, vanilla cookies, etc. I think that fills in where your choice of almond and nutmeg are used. My kids object to almond flavor for reasons I don't understand. I agree that it adds a little complexity to pure vanilla. Thanks for recipe, AJ! Will be trying this soon.
