Norwegian traditional Kransekake cake

Ingredients

Almond flour (ground almonds) 500 g
Egg white 4 things
Powdered sugar 450 g
Baking powder 1 tsp
Glaze
Powdered sugar 150 g
Egg white 4 things
Lemon juice 1 tsp

Cooking method

  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeIf there is no almond flour (like mine), then first soak the almonds in boiling water, peel and grind. Then mix the icing sugar with almond flour and baking powder
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeBeat the whites until light foam. Stir the almond mixture with the proteins
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeKnead the dough, it will get thick. Leave the dough in a cool place until the next day
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeThere are special forms for such a cake. They are called Kransekake tins or pans. But I have no forms, so I need to draw circles on the parchment (I was guided by this recommendation: draw circles starting with a diameter of 18 cm, each subsequent circle is 0.5 cm smaller than the previous one... But the difference between the sizes of the circles turned out to be too small. Therefore, I would recommend doing each subsequent circle somewhere 1 cm less than the previous one). Roll out sausages from the dough to the thickness of a little finger (about 1 cm in diameter) and place on the drawn circles. Ideally, you need to do 18 circles (I got less)
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeBake at 200 degrees for about 10-20 minutes until browning. When the cookies are baked, they come off the sheet quite easily. If they stick to the bottom or break, then they are not ready yet and need to bake a little
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeCool all rings. In the meantime, prepare the icing. Mix the icing sugar, protein and lemon juice. I beat with a mixer and added some green dye. The frosting should be quite thick
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeTransfer the icing to a pastry bag, cut a small hole. Apply glaze on the largest ring in a wave-like pattern. Put a slightly smaller ring on top and also cover it with glaze. In one source I read that you can string rings on a bottle of champagne, I wanted to do just that. But I didn't have enough rings. Therefore, I gathered just on top of each other
  • Norwegian traditional Kransekake cakeIt turned out such a pyramid
  • You can decorate at your discretion with snowflakes and flowers - depending on the holiday.
  • The cookies are delicious!

Time for preparing:

Generally 2-3 days

Note

Kransekake is a cake that is traditional in Denmark and Norway. It is baked from almond flour and can be stored for a long time. The Danes call it "kransekage", and the Norwegians call it "kransekake" or "kransekaka".
This cake is baked on big holidays like Christmas dinner and wedding lunch.
Usually it should consist of 18 rings.
The name of this dessert dish is literally translated as "cake-wreath".
It is customary to fill kransecake with cookies, chocolate, sweets and other "small pleasures". It happens that a bottle of wine or aquavit (a Scandinavian alcoholic drink) is placed in its center.

The recipe and information are taken from various sources on the internet.

Helen, what an interesting recipe! I hope I still had time for a piece?
If I find flour, I'll try. I’m afraid that I’ll have time to soak the almonds, but the men will not let them grind them ... so they crack. Good luck in the competition
