Ontbijtkoek – Dutch Spice Cake

"This breakfast cake full of sweet, smoky spices is commonly eaten for breakfast in the Netherlands and Belgium. Just slightly sweet, it pairs well with cheese. Cake for breakfast? Hell yeah! This slightly sweet cake, full of warm spices, is how the Dutch do breakfast with cheese and other breakfast accouterments. My family is from the Dutch Caribbean and through the years, much of my family has migrated from Suriname, Aruba and Curacao to the Netherlands. Three generations in for some of them, my extended family are as Dutch as they are Caribbean."
