Julekake

Julekake is a traditional sweet bread. It's made with a combination of flour, milk, yeast, sugar, butter, raisins, cardamom, and candied fruit. Spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg can also be added to the dough. Once baked, julekake is typically served with butter or fruit jams.


The sweet bread is especially popular during the festive Christmas season, and it's traditionally paired with a cup of coffee on the side.
