Julekake (Norwegian Christmas Bread)

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

Let me tell you about one of my absolute favorite Christmas traditions – making Julekake, Norway’s beloved holiday bread. If you’ve never heard of it, think of it as Scandinavia’s answer to Italian panettone, but with its own unique charm. This slightly sweet, cardamom-scented bread is studded with candied fruit and raisins. It is the kind of thing that makes your whole house smell amazing and has everyone wandering into the kitchen asking, “What are you making?”

I’ll be honest – the first time I made Julekake, I was a little intimidated. Yeast breads can seem tricky (especially in a cold climate), but this one is actually pretty forgiving. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about kneading dough and watching it rise. It’s almost meditative, you know? And the payoff? A beautiful golden loaf that’s perfect for Christmas morning breakfast, afternoon coffee breaks, or even toasted with a smear of butter on a lazy winter evening.
