LINGONKAKA | Swedish Lingonberry Cake | 12 Days of Christmas 2022 ep.1

This is the first day of our 12 days of christmas and we are easing our way into the holiday season with Lingonkaka, Lingonberry Cake. This cake isn't full on Christmas, and would in fact be good any time of year, so therefore felt like a nice bridge between late fall/thanksgiving and christmas time.

2 eggs
165g sugar
130g butter
40g milk
170 AP flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
25g vegetable oil
1 tbsp cardamon
100g Lingonberries

Begin by preheating the oven to 185C/370F
-Oil your cake mold very well
-Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
-Place butter and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix on high for 5 minutes.
-Add in both eggs. Whip on high for 5 minutes. Scrap the sides.
*if doubling or tripling, add half the eggs, mix on high for 5 minutes, scrap, add the rest of the eggs and mix on high for another 5 minutes.
-Add in half of the sifted flour mixture. Very gently paddle together, just until all is combined.
-Add in the milk, oil and vanilla extract. Mix together gently until combined.
-Add the rest of the flour mixture and mix gently until all is combined, make sure you are scraping the sides so there are no streaks of milk or bits of flour left.
-Immediately place batter in your oiled mold and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
