Suksessterte (Norwegian almond “success cake”)

Recipes :

2 cups Almonds

3 Egg

1 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

2 tblsp Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

5 Egg Yolks

5 Heavy Cream

1/2 cup Heavy Cream

1/3 cup Vanilla Extract

100g Butter

Instructions :

  • Almond base
  • ▢
  • Preheat oven to 345°F (175°C) and grease cake form (I use a 27 cm spring form) – you can line the bottom with baking paper if you like.
  • ▢
  • Grind almonds in an almond grinder or food processor. I like to keep them a bit coarse.
  • ▢
  • Gently whisk the eggs and sugar together until combined (no longer). Stir in the ground almonds, flour, and baking powder.
  • ▢
  • Pour batter into cake form and bake for about 45 – 50 minutes, monitoring to make sure the top doesn't burn.
  • Yellow egg cream
  • ▢
  • Add egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla to a saucepan. Heat over low/medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens – about 15 minutes. Turn up the heat if the mixture doesn't thicken, but be careful not to boil.
  • ▢
  • Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then add the butter. You can use an electric mixer for a fluffy egg cream.
  • Assembly
  • ▢
  • Wait for the cake to cool completely before removing from form and frosting.
