Скачать или смотреть Making Traditional Kransekake – My Fix After a Baking Fail!

Kransekake – the iconic and beautiful Norwegian cake made from almonds, sugar, and egg whites. 🇳🇴 I’ve made it before without proper pans… but this time, my partner found me real kransekake tins at a thrift shop!

The recipe is simple, but let’s just say – things didn’t exactly go as planned 😅
My dough expanded (oops), the rings got stuck, and halfway through I had to improvise completely. But in the end? It turned out almost perfect, and definitely delicious.

💡 In this video I also show how you can make kransekake without special pans – just using parchment paper and drawn circles!

✨ Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever tried kransekake – or if you have any baking tips I should try next time!

Fixed Recepie:
📝 Ingredients:
For the dough:
500 g almonds
500 g powdered sugar (icing sugar)
4 egg whites

For the royal icing glaze:
75 g powdered sugar
½ egg white
½ tsp rum essence or lemon juice

🍰 Instructions:
Blanch half of the almonds by placing them in boiling water for 3–4 minutes. Pop them out of their skins and let them dry well — either overnight on the kitchen counter or in the oven at 50°C (120°F) for an hour.

Grind the almonds — both blanched and unblanched — carefully. It’s important the almonds don’t get warm while grinding, or the oils may separate, which can affect the dough.
→ Grind by hand, use small pulses in a food processor, or the safest option: use pre-ground almonds.

Sift the powdered sugar and mix it with the ground almonds. (Optional: add ½ tsp tragacanth for a smoother dough).

Add the egg whites gradually, mixing in just enough to create a firm, smooth dough. Knead until well combined.
→ If the dough is too dry, add a bit more egg white or a drop of neutral oil. If too wet, knead in more powdered sugar.

Wrap the dough and chill it — ideally overnight.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Roll the dough into finger-thick sausages. Grease your kransekake tins with butter and dust with semulegryn (semolina) – old ladies’ wisdom says no flour! Fill each ring mold starting with the smallest.

No special tins? No problem!
Draw circles on parchment paper using cake pans as a guide and shape the dough into rings accordingly.

Place the molds on a baking tray and bake in the center of the oven for about 10 minutes, until golden. Let cool completely before removing from the molds — very important!

Make the icing: Stir together powdered sugar, egg white, and flavoring until thick enough to hold its shape. Pipe a zig-zag pattern onto the rings as you stack them.

💡Tips:
You can freeze the rings and decorate/assemble them later.
Decorate with Norwegian flags, party crackers, or small treats.
Make a kransekake basket by shaping a base and arch to fit the smallest ring.
