Scandinavias best cake !
Today I made one of my favourite cakes for a party I was invited to. The best thing about it though is that it is really easy to bake and it just takes a little less than 1 hour to make.
This Recipe is also glutenfree for celiacs.

6 eggs
300 grams of sugar
200 grams of ground almonds
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Separate the yolk from the whites and whip the egg whites until you can turn the bowl upside down and the eggs don’t fall out.
Add 300 gr. of sugar and whip until well blended.
Mix ground almonds, vanilla sugar and baking powder carefully with the egg and sugar.
Cover a large square pan (30×40 cm) with greaseproof paper. Butter the greaseproof paper and spread the dough on the paper.

Chocolate Cream (Ingredients):
6 egg yolks
150 grams of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
6 tablespoons of coffee

Cool cream in refrigerator until cool.
Cake should soon be done and when it is, remove from oven.
Remove paper (and cake – the cake is supposed to be somewhat flat) from pan and let cool on a grid / rack.
