Julekake is a Norwegian Christmas cake. It is a yeast cake made with butter and sugar, spiced with cardamom, and containing candied fruits, raisins and almonds. Some people call it a Christmas bread instead of a cake. To make it, sugar is mixed with tepid scalded milk, salt and cardamom, then yeast is added, followed by oats, butter and an egg. Flour is folded in with the dried and candied fruits, the dough is kneaded and brushed with butter, and it is left to rise twice. The cake can be eaten warm, or toasted and served with butter. The source lists fruitcake, limpa bread and stollen as related breads and cakes.
