Ontbijtkoek (Breakfast Cake) - print recipe
 
   
 
Yield:
Ingredients:
 
2 cup self rising flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (J: Demerara is suggested)
1/3 cup molasses or treacle
1 cup milk
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1 pch salt
Method:
Combine all to a smooth paste.



Place in a buttered 8 inch x 3 inch loaf tin and bake about an hour in a slow oven (300F).



When cooked, allow to cool and keep in a tin or in the bread-bin for 24 hours before serving.



This cake keeps moist when put in the bread-bin with the bread. The Dutch serve it with their 'elevenses', buttered, or on a slice of bread for breakfast.



NOTES : We spent most of the '70s in Holland. At that time most home cooking was done on a four burner stove-top as few Dutch houses had ovens. Cakes were bought from the baker, or grocer in the case of ontbijt koek.
