SWEDISH CARDAMOM BRAIDS
"Swedish people love their coffee-especially with this classic coffee cake. The recipe came from my father's aunt, and I can remember my mother crushing cardamom seeds to make it. Back then, you couldn't buy cardamom already ground." -Harriet Meola, Mauldin, South Carolina

SWEDISH CARDAMOM COFFEE CAKE
Another lovely cardamom recipe, this one is adapted from the fantastic 'The Great Scandinavian Baking Book' by Beatrice Ojakangas. You can buy cardamom already ground but I prefer grinding it myself in a mortar and pestle, it's much tastier.

SWEDISH COFFEE CAKE
Editing per my Grandmother to get the story right: This cake recipe was passed down to my great Grandmother Helen from my Swedish great great Grandmother Maria. It is over 100 years old...possibly 150 or more! Some of my Swedish relatives started the famous Svenhards bakery here in California. They no longer own it but their original packages have my great great Aunt Tilda's (Maria's sister) photo on them! *My Grandmother also says to please beat the egg whites...they make the cake lighter and fluffier.

BREAD MACHINE SWEDISH COFFEE BREAD
This is a delicious Swedish coffee bread recipe converted for use with a bread maker! My family is Swedish, and ever year we make this recipe just in time for Christmas. We always enjoy it especially on Christmas morning. We used to make a long, drawn out version that was my great-grandmother's recipe, but thanks to modern conveniences like the bread maker it takes much less time and work! I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine has.

SPICY CARDAMOM COFFEE CAKE
This is a recipe my friend Jen served at Easter brunch that I had to have the recipe for. It is very spicy (2 Tablespoons of cardamom!) and yummy. It is wonderful served with strawberries, but just fine on its own.

Steps:
- Cake: Cream together sugar and butter until fluffy.
- Beat eggs in one at a time.
- Add vanilla.
- Stir in the baking powder, soda, salt, and Cardamom.
- Stir in the floor one cup at a time, adding sour cream and milk as you go along.
- Topping: In a separate bowl mix together the"topping" ingredients.
- To Assemble: You can bake this in a few different style pans.
- A bundt cake pan would work well.
- I used two tall round 8" cake pans.
- Oil your pans well.
- Pour the batter in your pans- be sure to leave some room at the top as these cakes should rise.
- Sprinkle the top with your topping.
- Alteration: Instead of sprinkling the topping over the cake, you might prefer to pour half your batter in the pan, create an inside layer by sprinkling in some of your topping and then pour the remaining batter in your pan and sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture over the top.
- You can always whip up some more topping if you need to!
- To Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- This is a dense cake and will bake for about an hour (in a bundt cake pan).
- Keep checking on it by inserting a knife in the top.
- If it comes out clean, it's done.
- To Serve: Let the cake cool for a while (at least half an hour).
- Turn the cake over and slide onto a plate (if you have used a bundt cake pan).
- If you used a cake pan, loosen the edges of the cake pan with a knife, gently easing the cake up out of the pan.
- If you need to, turn the cake over and gently tap it out of the pan, once the cake is out of the pan you can turn it back over onto a plate for presentation.

SWEDISH CARDAMOM BREAD
A sweet bread traditionally served in Sweden or Finland; often served as buns, loaves, or in a bundt shape. Often topped with a white icing and walnuts, this is usually served with coffee. I came across this recipe (source, epicurean.com) while looking for instructions for how to braid or plait braid, which, incidentally, is also done with this bread, and instructions on how to do this can be found here, among other places: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/3715220/kneading_and_braiding_the_challah_dough/ Note that the prep time does not include the passive rising time of approximately 2 hours.
