Mjuk pepparkaka recipe - soft pepparkaka recipe

I just made a really delicious cake, you're going to love it! This is a nice recipe if you like spices like cinnamon and clove. In Swedish it's called "mjuk pepparkaka" which means "soft gingerbread cake", it has the same spices as if you bake gingerbread.

This is what you need:

100 g butter
2 eggs
2 dl sugar
1.5 dl sour cream
1.5 tsk ground ginger
1.5 tsk ground clove
2 tsk ground cinnamon
2 tsk baking powder
3 dl flour

For the measuring cups mentioned here like dl etc., please refer to my post about Swedish measuring cups.

Preheat the oven to 175 °C and butter a cake pan and put some breadcrumb in it :

Melt the butter and let it cool down. Use a mixer to cream the eggs and the sugar together until light. Add the sour cream, ginger, clove, cinnamon and baking powder and stir with the mixer. Now add the flour and the melted butter, stir until you get a smooth consistency and everything is mixed.

Fill the dough into the cake pan and put it into the oven for approx. 45 minutes.

Test to see if the cake is ready by putting a skewer into the middle, If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let the cake cool down a little before you remove it from the pan.

I've put some icing sugar on top of it.

I can tell you our apartment has this nice flavour of cinnamon right now. I love the nice smell when cakes get out of the oven...

You can eat the cake with whipped cream and lingonberries, it's delicious!

Kram,
