Kransekake

Description

Kransekake is a traditional Nordic dessert consisting of a number of concentric cake rings which are usually shaped into a large cone or a tower. The crispy cakes are made with almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, and are held together with a white icing glaze. Even though little is known about the origin of this luxurious cake, it is usually associated with various festive occasions in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Depending on the event, the cake might come in different sizes, and the center is often filled with candies, chocolates, and even champagne or wine bottles.
