Christmas Calendar 2016 - Apple ginger cake


It is always nice to enjoy some cake for your afternoon coffee/tea. This time I have been baking this apple ginger cake for my colleagues at work in order to say "thank you" to the "elfs" (nisser). For the last three years I have been hanging up a Christmas stocking at work as decoration. The most existing part is that every day during these years some "elfs" are putting various fills into my Christmas stocking :-). And this years more "elfs" are active !!! So today it is time for my colleague to enjoy a piece of cake for their afternoon coffee as "thank yor" to the "elfs" from my side.

  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 190 g (cake) wheat flour
  • 60 g oat flakes - blended into flour
  • 30 g almonds - blended into flour
