This is a very typical cake recipe from Norway.
Ingredients:
cake
scant 2 cups (4-1/2 dl) flour
2/3 cup (1-1/2 dl) granulated sugar
note: i like to add 1/2 tsp. ground cardamon but the original recipe does not call for it. i also like to mix a handful of golden raisins(soaked in brandy) with the lingonberry preserves. if you do not wish to soak the raisins in brandy then i have also soaked them in apple cider. this is my personal addition.
1 tablespoon baking powder
a scant 2/3 cup (150 g / 5 ounces, ) unsalted butter
1 egg
3/4 cup (2 dl) lingonberry preserves
streusel topping
2/3 cup (1-1/2 dl) oatmeal
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup (1 dl) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F).
2. Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder then cut in the butter with pastry blender.
3. Add egg and mix well.
4. Spread into a greased 8 x 12 pan.
5. Spread the preserves over the batter.
6. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden.
7. Cool in the pan.
