Ordering gets pricey when 1 ontbijtkoek lasts about 1 hour at my house. So.. tried the recipe.. and it's awesome! Thanks! Also, great humor on your pages!!

I did not have any cardamon, don't even know what it looks like or tastes like so I used 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and it went well with the other spices. This bread tastes almost the same as Boston Brown Bread, a bread they sell here in USA in a can or you can make it at home in a tin can, the ingredients are very similar. We eat it with sweet baked beans. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/boston-brown-bread-104112Billy D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-11228500946771084132017-03-29T21:55:16.139-06:002017-03-29T21:55:16.139-06:00I really love this recipe.

I have made the recipe multiple times and each time have taken it out earlier and earlier because I've discovered it needs nowhere near the 80 minutes specified in the recipe. Please modify the recipe. However to anyone who is thinking of trying this recipe out, absolutely do. It is delicious and fills your house with the scent of spices.

My husband who is from the Netherlands found this recipe online and has made it multiple times. We make it and wrap it up as gifts for friends. <br />One tip he has for making this cake even better is he makes a batch, wraps it up in plastic wrap, and let's it sit in the cool pantry shelf for a week before slicing into it. The flavors of the cake get a chance to disperse throughout the loaf and the taste is a bit stronger and the texture is more amazing! You know that sticky cake that gets stuck on your fingers from the store bought ontbijtkoek? Yep! You get that with this recipe too.

I replace about half of the molasses with golden syrup. If you still think it's too strong add more golden syrup. I did some research online and I found out that keukenstroop is glucose syrup to which molasses and sugar syrup have been added! So, no wonder it tastes too strong.Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-1189542812530797662014-05-31T04:31:16.693-06:002014-05-31T04:31:16.693-06:00Hey!

Unfortunately the cake turned out quite hard to cut with a big knife, although it was not so hard to bite in. So I was wondering if it was the fact that we didn't use molasses or that maybe it needed some kind of fat? like vegetable oil or butter? All in all people enjoyed it but we would prefer it more soft and moist. Thanks for the reply and keep on cooking and baking!<br /><br />Fellow food lover and blogger<br />Electraspoonfulofhyggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189643565076486953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-85969702647039073882014-03-09T10:02:45.298-06:002014-03-09T10:02:45.298-06:00Anneke, you can order rye flour online or maybe tr...Anneke, you can order rye flour online or maybe try some of the health stores in your area. Now, having said that, there is no reason why you couldn't try to substitute whole wheat for the rye flour and see what happens. It will be an edible product and you might enjoy it just as well!

I replaced from their recipe the flower by rye flour, since this is what I did not like from the recipe of the Boerinnenbond. I also replaced the milk by tea. I got this idea from a British chief, unfortunately I do not know his name anymore. And I added canded ginger. The milkreplacement might be an improvement for patients who do not digest milk.
