An ‘ontbijtkoek‘ is a Dutch spiced cake. The spices I used are cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, coriander and white pepper. You can find the recipe for ‘Speculaas Spices‘ here. It is best eaten sliced with butter on top. Yum!!
Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius Mix water, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract and honey together In a small bowl sift the flour, baking power, salt and speculaas spices Add the dry ingredients to the wet and fold in gently until you have a smooth batter Grease a small/medium loaf pan and pour in the mixture Place in the oven and bake for 60 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius, set oven back to 130 degrees Celsius and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the 'ontbijtkoek' from the loaf pan and wrap it in aluminum foil when it's still warm. I wrap it straight from the oven in aluminium foil for at least 24 hours to get that characteristic sticky crust.Ontbijtkoek
