When my husband became a minister for a church in an area populated with Norwegians, my father-in-law was delighted because I had easy access to recipes he enjoyed as a child. This is a traditional Norwegian Christmas bread—also called julekake—but I make it for any holiday we get together. —Deborah Petersen, Princeton, New Jersey
