Chokoladekage (Chocolate Cake)
Our blog may be mostly devoted to Scandinavian and mostly Danish baked goods, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know when to appreciate an absolute classic dessert.

Hi everyone! It has been a few weeks since our last blog post. Sofie was on her honeymoon and then we had to catch up on developing some recipes so we took a little hiatus, but we’re back now!
Marzipan is one of our favorite sweets in the whole world, and we love any baked good made with it. It’s just so sweet and the almond taste is absolutely delicious.
Today’s recipe is for a citronroulade, or lemon swiss roll. It consists of a fluffy and airy fatless sponge rolled up with super tart lemon curd and sweet whipped cream.
Autumn is one of the best times of year to bake, with winter being the only season that beats it. That’s just my opinion, of course, but I think most people who do a lot of Christmas baking would agree!
Any Dane reading our translation of this cake as “Raspberry Meringue Cake” will probably chuckle a bit. That’s because it’s not at all what the Danish means. Really, this cake should be called “Grandfather’s Beard.”
Some recipes are great because of how simple they are. We love to share plenty of complicated recipes, like our wienerbrød (Danish pastries), but sometimes, simple is the way to go.
Summertime means warm weather and lots of sun. And the best dessert to eat in the summer weather? Ice cream. This is the ice cream version of a classic Danish birthday cake!
Chocolate cake is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventions in the world. Chocolate anything, really. And actually, we don’t have all that many recipes that involve chocolate, so we are super excited for this one!
