So it's like this. Every Tuesday, my husband is off playing figure games with his male friends in their gaming lair. And since I love to bake, I came up with the idea that every Tuesday I would bake a new cake or cookie for them just for fun. As this has now become a tradition, I have decided to post my creations here on this blog to share with you and also tell you what the men said about the different cakes. That way you can get an idea of ​​how the cake tastes and maybe try to bake one yourself.

Soft gingerbread cake with glaze

Here comes the recipe for my yummy gingerbread cake :-)
Start with setting the oven to 200C
2 eggs 
3 dl sugar 
4.5 dl flour 
1.5 dl milk 
2 tsp ground cloves (mald nejlika in Swedish)
2 tsp cinnamon 
Stir together then add

2 tsp baking powder 
150g melted butter 
And stir together 

Grease a baking pan with butter and then bread crumbs (ströbröd in Swedish). 
Pour the batter into the baking pan and place it in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes or until the cake is no longer sticky.

In the meantime (if you want it) make some glaze. But remember, the cake is just as good without it.

Glaze:
100 grams of natural cheese, for example. cream cheese (not light version)
1 dl icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
30 grams of butter

Mix it all together in a bowl and put it in the fridge.
When the cake is done, take the glaze and but on the cake. If you want you can wait for the cake to cool down before you but it on so it wont melt. But I wanted the glaze to melt out a bit on the cake so I put it on when the cake was still hot.




Hope you enjoy it. I know I do!!

Soft gingerbread cake with glaze

So it's Tuesday again and today I made a cake that's called "Mjuk pepparkaka" in Swedish. But the translation is something like "Soft gingerbread cake" or just soft gingerbread. Regardless the cake is super yummy and tastes amazing if I may say so myself. It's good anyday and anytime. And today I also put some glaze on it to make it more special.

And now to the men's opinion about the cake:

"Awsome cake. I like it better with glaze on. It's hard to beat"
"Ohh, sweet-sour glaze! Yummy!"
"I love this cake. The glaze raised the cakes flavor. Nice"
"Mmmmmmm...glaze and cake. Yummy as hell"
and to finish the comments from the guys, "there was one guy who just smiled and eat three pieces of cake".

So I would definitely say that the cake was very well-liked.

Have a good one.
