Try your hand at making a bløtkake – a delicious Norwegian treat that combines sponge, berries and cream.

Some things in life aren’t worth worrying about. For example, there’s no point fussing over whether you can pronounce the word bløtkake correctly, as long as you can make it. A bløtkake, if you’re wondering, is a delicious Norwegian cake. Combining a few of life’s simple pleasures including sponge, berries and cream, it's as delightful to eat as it is to look at. This recipe by Manuela at Passion 4 Baking easily outlines the steps needed to put together this sweet wonder. And if you're struggling with the decorating part, just remember Manuela's words of wisdom: “Norwegian cakes aren’t always pretty to look at, but who cares about the look of a cake. For me it is all about the taste.” We couldn’t agree more.
