Fyrstekake – Norwegian Prince Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup jam (raspberry or apricot)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for serving)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

9 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use a hand mixer for best results.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter texture.
  5. Mix Everything Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
  6. Prepare the Cake Pan

    Grease a round cake pan and pour half of the batter into it.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  7. Add Jam

    Spread the jam evenly over the batter, then top with the remaining batter.

    Use a spoon to dollop jam to avoid disturbing the batter.
  8. Bake the Cake

    Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  9. Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve with whipped cream and sliced almonds on top.
