Krydderkage (Spiced Loaf Cake)
Autumn is one of the best times of year to bake, with winter being the only season that beats it. That’s just my opinion, of course, but I think most people who do a lot of Christmas baking would agree!

Any Dane reading our translation of this cake as “Raspberry Meringue Cake” will probably chuckle a bit. That’s because it’s not at all what the Danish means. Really, this cake should be called “Grandfather’s Beard.”
Happy August everyone! It’s crazy to think that the summer is nearly over, but there’s still a month left to enjoy what’s left! And this is a great summery recipe.
Summertime means warm weather and lots of sun. And the best dessert to eat in the summer weather? Ice cream. This is the ice cream version of a classic Danish birthday cake!
Growing up, we used to spend most of our summer breaks back in Denmark. And in our minds, nothing quite compares to a summer spent by the water up in the northwestern part of Sjælland, where we grew up.
If you’ve been to a bakery in Denmark, you’ve most likely seen one of these featured in the display case. This pastry is called a “cremestang,” literally meaning “cream stick.”
It’s pretty obvious at this point that Sofie and I are avid bakers. We love the process; it’s relaxing for us, not to mention delicious! But something that is incredibly annoying about baking is separating eggs.
As the beautiful spring weather rolls in, we’re always looking for recipes that are easy to make and incorporate some fresh fruit! This cake is undoubtedly one of our favorites.
We love a good loaf cake. Whether it’s banana bread, pumpkin bread, pound cake, or our chocolate-orange cake, there’s something magical about it.
