Kryddkaka - Swedish Spice Cake - Traditional Recipe! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon clove
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Beat eggs until very light and fluffy. Add sugar gradually while beating.
Sift together flour, spices and baking powder. Fold this into the egg mixture gently, so as not to deflate eggs.
In a small saucepan, heat butter and water over low heat until butter has melted. Once butter melts, bring to a boil and add while still boiling hot to the batter (first mixture). Combine thoroughly.
Butter a 7 3/4 inch tube pan and sprinkle evenly with the bread crumbs. Pour cake batter into pan.
Bake in preheated 350\u00b0F oven 45-50 minutes or until cake tests done.
Serve unfrosted or dusted with icing sugar.
