Buttermilk and Cinnamon cake

Yesterday I had a group of Norwegian friends visiting.
There is quite a few Norwegians in Houston,
due to the oil business.
Groups has formed in different areas of town,
forming new friendships and making the transition easier.
In my group everybody brings a little something to eat.
We meet in each others homes,
and yesterday we where about ten girls here.


I made this very easy cake,
it has no eggs,
and here is the recipe:


1 liter buttermilk
4 cups sugar
6 cups flour
4 tbsp cinnamon
1 cup melted butter (margarine)
3 tsp baking soda (mixed with a little buttermilk)
350F for 45 min.

Alternate wet and dry,
and mix well,


poor into a lined large oven pan.

In preheated oven,
cook for 45 min - 350F

When done, let it cool about 45 min - 1 hour
before putting the "chocolate-glaze" on:

Chocolate topping:
1 tsp vanilla sugar (vanilla concentrate}
1 tbsp cocoa
1 stick softened butter (about 100gr) I use margarine
250 gr powdered sugar
3-4 tbsp coffee

Sprinkle coconut on top.

It is very good warm!
Enjoy!!


Jeg hadde 10 norske jenter paa besoek i gaar.
Det er mange av oss her i Houston pga all olje virksomheten her.
Forskjellige grupper moetes i forskjellige omraader av byen,
ettersom hvor en bor.

Vi samles av og til hjemme hos hverandre,
og pleier ta med oss litt hver til aa "bite i".
Her er oppskriften til kaka vi spiste,
veldig enkel, ingen egg:

1 liter sur melk
4 kopper sukker
6 kopper mel
4 ss kanel
1 kopp smeltet smoer (margarin er ok)
3 ts natron (mikses i litt av surmelken)

Miks alt godt sammen,
alterner toerrt og vaatt.

Stekes paa 180 gr C i 45 minutter

La kaka sitte litt foer du tar paa fyllet,

Sjokolade fyll:
1 ts vaniljesukker
1 ss kakao
100 gr mykt smoer
250 gr melis
3-4 ss kaffe

Sprinkle kokos over

Kaka smaker veldig godt naar den enda er litt varm...
Lykke til!
