This cake is a regular Christmas tradition at Stine Hincheldey’s Swedish father-in-law, Claes Alwén. It is wonderful and spongy and is always served during the Christmas season – either with a strong tea punch or as a dessert after a lovely Christmas dinner or lunch.

  • 41/2 dl flour
  • 3 dl sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
