Norwegian Bløtkake Recipe

cake flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is more accessible.

whipping cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: heavy cream

Coconut cream offers a dairy-free option, while heavy cream is often less expensive.

fresh berries

🥗Healthier: frozen berries

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Frozen berries maintain nutrients and are often less expensive than fresh.

gelatin

🥗Healthier: agar-agar

💰Cheaper: pectin

Agar-agar is a plant-based alternative, while pectin is often cheaper.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour round cake pans.

Mix cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and combine.

Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.

Pour the batter into prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Whip the cream until soft peaks form and add powdered sugar to taste.

Slice the cooled cakes in half horizontally to create layers.

Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream and berries.

Repeat with remaining layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.

Decorate with additional berries and a sprinkle of gelatin if desired.
