Cardamom buns

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, November 4, 2021, In : bread 

I always thought cardamom buns would take too much effort to make, considering I can get an excellent one at a cafe near me in Auckland. But being in this extended lockdown has prompted me to tackle more adventurous baking. I was also inspired by a friend who lives in Europe and is currently holidaying in Sweden, the land of the free. She's been frequenting the konditorei and enjoying some authentic Scandinavian fika. I'm pretty happy with my efforts here and I can tell you the taste of freed...

Runeberg cakes

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, August 19, 2020, In : small cakes 

These pretty cakes are named after the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg. Apparently he used to eat one for breakfast every day. He sure had a sweet tooth. It's a dense cake but was nice warmed up before eating. I think the tradition is raspberry jam but you can use whatever you like - even lemon curd.

100g/ 1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c ground almonds
