Kvæfjord Cake Recipe - World’s Best Norwegian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup butter (unsalted, melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (for topping)
  • 1 cup custard (prepared)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. Prepare the batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and melted butter.

    Sift the flour for a lighter cake texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla

    Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until smooth.

    Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
  4. Bake the cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

    Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  5. Prepare the custard

    While the cake is baking, prepare the custard according to package instructions.

    Let the custard cool before spreading.
  6. Assemble the cake

    Once the cake is cooled, slice it in half, layer with custard, and top with whipped cream.

    Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
  7. Garnish and serve

    Sprinkle chopped almonds and powdered sugar on top before serving.

    Serve chilled for best flavor.
