Klumpkaka

Block cake

I thought the name alone was so great with this “Klumpkaka”! And it's delicious too - and keeps really well.

Ingredients

200 g margarine
200 g brown sugar
5 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
100 g raisins
100 g currants
50 g lemon peel
300 g flour
1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp oil for the mold


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Mix the margarine with the brown sugar until fluffy.

Then separate the eggs and stir the egg yolks into the margarine-sugar mixture one at a time.

Add cinnamon and cardamom and stir.

Add the raisins and currants, as well as the lemon peel, and mix everything in carefully.

Add flour and baking powder and mix the dough thoroughly.

Beat the egg white until stiff and carefully fold it into the remaining dough.

Grease the baking pan very thoroughly, pour in the finished dough...

...and bake in the lower third of the preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 60 minutes.

Let the cake cool in the tin and then carefully remove it from the tin.

Bon appetit!
