To celebrate (or mourn) Nigel’s last day, I baked a krydderkage for yesterday. Something went wrong, though – I think I might have used the wrong raising agent. But I’ve tried it before, and it’s usually fine. Here’s the recipe:
- 400 g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp grond cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/3 l Guinness
- 400 g dark muscovado sugar
Mix the flour with the spices. Stir in half the beer and mix well. Add the rest of the beer and finally the sugar. Put the mixture in a baking tray (20cm x 30cm) and bake for 50-60 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius. Serve with butter.
