I followed the recipe, including the 3 tsp of cardamom, and I am loving the result. I have no idea whether this is authentic, but it is delicious, and this is good enough for me. I used brown sugar and milk on top.

If you like cardamom, try to find cardamom seeds and grind your own. So much more flavor than the pre ground. Try Asian food stores if your grocer doesn't have them. Thanks for the recipe for the bread machine.

fantastic recipe. followed all directions, however i left the loaf to rise for about an hour after the dough cycle had finished. i only used 1 tsp of cardamon and added 2 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of nutmeg.

My Norwegian grandma used to make julekage for the holidays. She would sneak in an extra loaf that didn't have the dried fruit, so it was "cardamom bread". It makes the best toast for breakfast! No jam, just hot buttered toast to go with the eggs.

I followed the recipe as written but baked it in my machine using the sweet bread cycle. My husband and I had the most delicious toast (I put a little honey on it) this morning. Tomorrow we will try french toast. Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious!! Tastes just like the recipe from my husband's Gma, without all the work. :) Even though this only makes one loaf, this is the recipe I'm using from now on. Thanks.

Awesome! don't reduce the cardamom, 1 tbsp is perfect. I didn't brush with egg white and pearl sugar, left plain and brushed with butter when removed from the oven for a soft crust, yummy!

This recipe has made people mad at me because they cannot stop eating it until it's gone. It is a sure crowd pleaser and also makes a great gift. I had my kids make it for their grandmother and we mailed it cross country. It was a very special gift. It is hard to find any thing like this at the stores

I made this bread several times over the holidays and it always turned out great. I made the first loaf following the recipe exactly and I think, if you're not Swedish or not used to the flavor of cardamom, it might be a little overpowering. I couldn't decide if I liked it, but others in my family loved or hated it. Weird... Anyway, it's a dependable recipe and I used cinnamon in the other loaves. Very, very good recipe.
