Ontbijtkoek is a traditional Dutch spiced breakfast cake, often enjoyed with a generous spread of butter.

This delicious cake has a rich history in the Netherlands, where it has been a beloved breakfast staple for generations.

To make Ontbijtkoek, mix rye flour, honey, milk, baking powder, and a blend of warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create a fragrant batter.

Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake until the cake is perfectly done, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

Once baked, let the cake cool before slicing and serving with a thick layer of butter for an authentic Dutch experience.

In the Netherlands, Ontbijtkoek is often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack, sometimes accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea.

While Ontbijtkoek is a delightful treat, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high sugar content.
