My New Cookbook!! Norwegian Baking Through the Seasons

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in milk and vanilla extract until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

If using yeast, dissolve it in warm milk and let it sit until frothy, then add to the mixture.

Fold in any desired add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

Once the baking is done, let it cool completely before frosting.

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Serve with fruit preserves on the side.
