About Kruidkoek
Kruidkoek, or spiced cake, is a traditional Dutch baked good known for its fragrant aroma and dense texture. Originating from the Netherlands, it combines warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves with staple ingredients such as flour, brown sugar or honey, butter or oil, and eggs. Sometimes, raisins or nuts are added for extra flavor and texture. Kruidkoek is typically low in fat, as modern recipes often omit butter, making it a lighter option compared to other cakes. The inclusion of warming spices adds antioxidant properties, potentially offering anti-inflammatory benefits. However, it can be high in sugar, depending on the recipe or variations. Often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast with coffee or tea, Kruidkoek provides a comforting balance of sweetness and spice while reflecting the culinary traditions of Dutch cuisine. Moderation is key for enjoying this flavorful treat as part of a balanced diet.
