Suksessterte Recipe - Authentic Norwegian Almond Cake

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Prepare the Almond Batter

    In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat.

    Ensure the bowl is clean and free of grease for best results.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold in the almond flour, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the egg white mixture.

    Fold carefully to maintain the airiness of the batter.
  4. Bake the Cake

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

    Check for doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean.
  5. Make the Frosting

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

    Add almond extract for an extra flavor boost if desired.
  6. Assemble the Cake

    Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream frosting on top and refrigerate until serving.

    Top with slivered almonds for decoration before serving.

💡 Tips & Tricks
