Boterkoek recipe - a simple Dutch cake

This authentic Boterkoek (Dutch butter cake) was passed to me by my husband's Tante Wil, surprisingly it doesn't have any almond in it.

It is a very simple easy to make cake using few ingredients and it is a firm favourite with my family. It reminds me of shortbread but it is much more moist with a different taste and texture.

    1. Yes, it is very simple, with just a few ingreients - just make sure not to overcook it. It is supposed to be heavy and moist!
