How to swedish christmas soft ginger bread/cake

Set the oven temperature to 175 degrees Celsius.

Melt the butter.

Mix the brown sugar with the eggs.

Use electric whiskers for best result.

I whisked the batter for about 6 minutes. The fluffier the better, and you don't want any undissolved sugar left.

Mix the dry ingredients; flour, cinnamon, baking powder and ginger. If you like cardamon add some too!

Sift the mixture to avoid lumps.

Mix thouroghly.

Add the sour cream. Today I didn't have any so I used meze (Turkish) yogurt instead.

Then add the lingonberry jam.

Stir again.

Finally add the melted butter.

Grease a pan. It should have the capacity of 1 1/2 liter.

Add breadcrumbs.

Pour the cake batter into the pan. Put in in the oven, on the lowest rack. Let it bake for 40-45 minutes.

Use this tool to see if the cake is ready. If it comes out dry, then it is done!

And this is the finished result!

Slice it & enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.
