Koek is a Dutch recipe staple! My mother-in-law grew up in the lower mainland with Dutch immigrant parents, and this is her mom’s original recipe! It was always served at coffee time with a generous spread of butter.
This recipe can be made in a standard 9 x 5 loaf pan or a long loaf pan! My mother in law has a long 4 X 14 inch loaf pan she uses for the recipe, and I think it’s my favourite. She reduces the baking time to about 50 minutes if you have this sized ban.

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
-
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cloves and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
-
Add milk, butter and syrup or honey in a separate small bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave until it is smooth but not hot. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
-
Add to the loaf pan and bake for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
If you are using a long pan, you can reduce bake time to approximately 50 minutes.
