Mazarinkage (Mazarin Cake)
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.
Makronsnitter (Marzipan and Jam Slices)
One of the best flavor combinations of all time is tart jam and sweet almond marzipan. If you’ve ever had those sweet Anthon Berg chocolates* at Christmastime, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Jordbærtrifli (Strawberry Trifle)
Who doesn’t love a simple, quick trifle for dessert on a hot summer day? This is a dessert that absolutely screams summer, and it’s super easy to put together!
Kladkakka (Swedish Chocolate 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!
Cremestang (Vanilla Cream Danish Pastry)
If you’ve been to a bakery in Denmark, you’ve most likely seen one of these featured in the display case. This pastry is called a “cremestang,” literally meaning “cream stick.”
Fyrstekake (Norwegian Prince’s Cake)
We are so excited about today’s recipe! It’s our first attempt at posting a Norwegian recipe, so we certainly hope we do it justice. But also, this cake is just so delicious and classic!
Kransekage (Marzipan Wreath Cake)
This dessert is probably one of the most unique Scandinavian cakes we can think of. “Kransekage” translates to “wreath cake,” and is basically a stack of baked and decorated marzipan rings.
Jødekager (Jewish Cookies)
These jødekager, or Jewish cookies, are one of our absolute favorite Christmas cookies. They’re pretty simple – a sugar and butter cookie as a base, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and chopped almonds.
Vaniljekranse (Vanilla Wreath Butter Cookies)
Vaniljekranse, which literally translates to “vanilla wreaths,” are a classic Danish butter cookie. They have a crisp, buttery texture, and lovely vanilla flavor.
