Kransekake

Bake for about 10 minutes, only until the rings turn a light golden brown and you can just begin to smell a fragrant almond aroma; the kransekake will feel dry when touched. It is important not to overbake the rings, because the kransekake should be moist and chewy on the inside.

This is a Danish friend of the family, and he's made all the kransekakes for our family weddings, anniversaries, etc.

You will need to buy a set of nonstick kransekake rings.

To assemble the kransekake, sort the cooked rings into decreasing sizes.

On extra special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, Midsummer, Syttende Mai (May 17, Norway’s Constitution Day anniversary), and Christmas, cardamom bread, fancy marzipan-filled cookies, butter cakes, kransekakes (pyramid-type cakes constructed from almond rings), and imported lingonberries would be served.
