Kransekake
Kransekake
Kransekake is a traditional Norwegian cake that is typically served during special occasions like weddings, Christmas, or New Year’s celebrations. It consists of a series of concentric rings made of almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, which are baked to form a tower-like structure. The cake is often decorated with icing, flags, or other festive ornaments.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- ¼ tablespoon salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the almond extract and continue whisking until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients until well combined. The dough should be firm and pliable.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Take one portion and roll it into a long snake-like shape, about 1 inch thick.
- Shape the dough into a circle on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the ends meet. Repeat this process with the remaining two portions of dough, stacking them on top of each other to form a tower-like structure.
- Bake the Kransekake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before handling.
- Once cooled, carefully remove the Kransekake from the baking sheet and place it on a serving platter.
- To decorate, dust the Kransekake with powdered sugar. You can also add festive ornaments like flags or icing designs for extra flair.
