Island Cake
Cultural Context
Island Cake, or Skyr Cake, hails from Iceland, where skyr—a thick, yogurt-like dairy product—plays a central role in many desserts. Traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, this cake embodies the Icelandic spirit of utilizing local ingredients. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Iceland, with variations appearing in Nordic bakeries worldwide, showcasing the versatility of skyr in both sweet and savory dishes.

whipped cream
🥗Healthier: coconut whipped cream
💰Cheaper: store-bought whipped topping

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a cake pan.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
Fold in skyr until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare chocolate ganache by melting chocolate and mixing with cream until smooth.
Once the cake is cool, frost it with chocolate ganache and top with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
