Norwegian Almond Cake
- 6 large egg whites at room temperature, from large eggs, reserve the egg yolk for cream
- 11 ounces sugar
- 11 ounces almonds flour, do not use foodprocessor to cut almonds
- 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 23 tablespoon potato starch
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups cream heavy
- 5 1/2 ounces sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 1/2 ounces butter, unsalted
- To make the almond cake:
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C) degree.
- Whip egg whites with an electric mixter until fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes.,
- Add sugar slowly, gently fold in the dry ingredients.
- Pour the dry ingredients into a well greased and floured 9.5-inch cake pan.
- Bake on the lower rack for 25 minutes.
- To make the Yolk Cream:
- In a saucepan combine egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract.
- Bring to a boil, stir constantly until the cream thickened.
- do not use high heat.
- Remove from the heat and stir in butter until melted.
- Let cream cool.
- The original cake is done now, just transfer cake on a plate and pour the cold yolks cream over.. but I like to cut the cake in 2 layers and combine 1 cup wipped cream and 13 of the yolk cream, then spread evenly between the two layers of the cake, and the rest I pipe on top of the cake as decoration.
