Andersonville Coffeecake From The Swedish Bakery

If you hate lines, best to avoid The Swedish Bakery on weekends, when “take a number” is the sad, but inevitable reality. A lot of Swedes make the trip in the from ‘burbs to get their rye bread or pick up a Princess Torte, but I’m guessing most of the regulars are there to also pick up an Andersonville coffeecake. The cardamom and cinnamon-filled cake is best warm – preferably saddled with a cup of coffee – and makes a perfect brunch gift, if you’re so inclined. They sell them not only whole, but by the half as well, so even if it’s just for you and a friend, you can have a few pieces, and still have enough leftover for the next day.
