How to Make Swedish Spice Cake Mjuk Pepparkaka
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8x4x3 inch loaf pan or an 8-cup round baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground cardamom. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup buttermilk and ¼ cup apricot jam (or other fruit jam).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the buttermilk and jam mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake on the lowest rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
