Suksesskake “Low carb”? If there is sugar in it, it is NOT low carb 😉

In reply to Kari H Banares. I always have a problem with the amount of wetness! How do the best bløtkaker stay moist without getting soggy? Thanks for any tips!! Ps my grandma used jam in the layers and a sprinkle of powdered gelatin in the cream :)

My sister married a Norwegian and lives in Gjovik now we have the tradition of making a Firklover Kake for birthdays and celebrations. For those wanting a recipe for this easy delicious cake it is 3 eggs, 3dl sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, 1dl strong coffee in water. 3dl flour, 1and half teaspoons baking powder. Method. whisk egg whites and sugar to peaks, add cocoa mixed with coffee, sieve in flour and baking powder gently fold and bake in a 10 inch tin at 170 for 30 to 40 mins. Slice in half and fill with thick custard (or cheat with a carton) and top with 200grms melted chocolate (Firklover bar is possible ) mixed with 30grms melted butter and half dl of milk. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.

I have recently retired and have been baking as a hobby. I’ve made the Kransekake several times but would love the recipes for the other cakes you mention. Where can I get them?

In reply to Nancy Frank. Come on, you think Norwegians don’t bake as much because of eggs being expensive?? First of all I don’t find eggs expensive at all, and if they were cheaper I’d be concerned about the hens’ welfare. And on the other hand, have you really been to the country side here? I’m not so sure they bake less here...

You forget to mention that Norwegians don’t bake as often as Americans do because, partly, eggs are so expensive! Do you still have to get a prescription in order to buy cream of tartar?
