The smell of all the spices brings back childhood memories. In Sweden there are lots of recipes for this cake. I have translated this one from Swedish and then baked it using the English measurements to be sure everything was OK. A piece of this cake with a cup of tea.......heavenly!

I used a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan, and it worked out beautifully.

I'm gluten-free, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cake still came out great!
