Suksessterte Recipe - Authentic Norwegian Almond Cake

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for decoration)
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round cake pan by greasing it.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Make the Almond Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground almonds, granulated sugar, and egg whites. Mix until well combined.

    Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
  3. Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  4. Prepare the Frosting

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

    Do not overwhip; aim for a smooth consistency.
  5. Assemble the Cake

    Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream frosting evenly on top.

    For decoration, sprinkle cocoa powder or sliced almonds.
