At a glance

This wholesome gingerbread cake with spelt flour comes together in about 73 minutes and delivers a deliciously spiced treat that's surprisingly wholesome. You're mixing dry ingredients, folding in plum jam (chunky bits are totally fine), adding chopped walnuts, and baking until golden — nothing tricky, just straightforward baking that fills your kitchen with amazing aromas.

  1. 1/4

    Mix the dry ingredients

    Combine the dry ingredients separately so the baking powder gets evenly distributed. It's a good idea to sift the flour through a sieve to aerate it — this will make the cake much fluffier.

  2. 2/4

    Stir in the plum jam

    Add the remaining wet ingredients and mix until smooth. The plum jam I used was quite thick, so I didn't manage to blend it in completely — but that only made the cake better. The big chunks of jam were fantastic.

    Chop the nuts

    Chop the nuts coarsely, so you can actually notice them in the cake.

About this recipe

Do you ever feel a twinge of guilt for constantly snacking on something delicious but not exactly healthy? This gingerbread cake made with wholemeal spelt flour is absolutely delicious and almost healthy… I found this fantastic recipe on the Apetit website and tried it out right away. Amazing stuff. I just left out the molasses, since I didn't have any at home, and used a little extra honey instead. It smells and tastes wonderful, and it disappeared in no time. The kids kept asking for extra pieces for their snack, and it's perfect with coffee at home too. Pure perfection.
