About the dish

Tropisk aroma-kake is a classic cake originating from Norway. The flavor of nutmeg in the cake and coffee in the icing give this cake an exotic aroma and its name. The cake is usually made with a combination of flour, baking powder, eggs, sugar, butter, salt, nutmeg, milk, and cinnamon, while the icing is made with a combination of coffee, vanilla, butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar. The batter is placed into a baking pan and baked for about 20 minutes. It is then left to cool on a wire rack and topped with the icing, which also goes on the sides of the cake in thin layers. Once prepared, tropisk aroma-kake is typically sliced in thin wedges when served.
