Cake!

…and because he liked a sweet cake for breakfast, his wife Frederika invented this special treat! It’s a little cardamom cake that has a well filled with raspberry jam, and a little circle of icing around the jam – yum!

Yummy

These little cakes appear in Finnish bakeries around this time of year – we don’t have the proper cylinder-shaped pan so have to make do with muffin pans! We thought that it would adapt well to a gluten free version since a good proportion of the flour in the recipe is almond flour.

Runeberg

Coriander and Tipsy agree with Herra Runeberg, they ARE delicious for breakfast!
