A delicious traditional Coffee Table cake hailing from Finland
Ingredients
2½ cups freshly ground spelt (or white wheat) pastry flour
½ cup coconut sugar
1½ t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
1 generous t. cinnamon
½ t. ground cardamom (or ground cloves)
½ cup melted butter
1 cup milk
½ cup yogurt (or 1½ cups buttermilk to replace milk and yogurt)
½ t. liquid stevia
Cinnamon Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar (make your own by blending whatever kind of sugar you have in a blender until it's powdered)
2-3 T. milk, coconut milk, or kefir
1 t. cinnamon
Instructions
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices. Stir in butter, milk, yogurt (or buttermilk), and liquid stevia just until combined.
Pour into a greased tube pan and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10-15 minutes, then loosen sides gently with a table knife. Carefully overturn onto a serving platter.
If desired, stir Cinnamon Glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until you have a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.
