  5. more of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed.

  7. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, cloves and ginger. Set aside.
  8. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8x8 cake pan with butter. Set aside.
  9. Roll dough on a lightly floured work surface to 9x12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over rolled dough and sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Starting from one of the short sides, roll the dough up and pinch seam to seal.
