Successcake - simply the best

After years of tears and begging I finally managed to get my mother-in-law's secret recipe for this caloribomb of a cake. If used I will not take any responsibility for those of You trying to loose weight or otherwise reducing calories, this one is only healthy in respect to getting pure pleasure with Your trousers on and nothing else...

Baking this cake take ca. 2 hours, and I recommend to put it cold for at least 1 hour before serving or preferable overnight in the fridge.

Cake base

500 gram almond
500 gram icing sugar
1 tablespoon white flour
7 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
vinegar

Separate the egg white from yolk.
Mill/crush almonds.

Mix almond, icing sugar, white flour and baking powder and pour in whipped egg whites (some droplets of vinegar makes it easier to whip them stiff).

Use a roasting tin with baking paper and poor the mixture in. Use a spoon/first finger to spread it out and water to ease the spreading.

Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius in 30-40 minutes, but look at it continuously to avoid it getting brown/hard. Cool down after.

Split the cake in two equally pieces.

Kakebunn

500 g mandler
500 g melis
1 ss hvetemel
1 ts bakepulver
7 egg
eddik

Eggene skilles. Mandler kvernes.

Mandler, melis, hvetemel og bakepulver blandes og hell deretter stivpiskede eggehviter i blandingen (noen dråper eddik gjør det lettere/fortere å få dem stive).

Legg bakepapir i en langpanne og hell blanding i. Bruk en skje/slikkepott til å fordel massen og dypp den gjerne i vann for at det skal gå lettere.

Stek i ovn på 180 grader i 30-40 minutter, men følg med slik at det ikke blir brunt/hardt. Ta bunnen ut av langpannen og avkjøl.

Del bunnen i to like store deler.

Buttercream:

2 dl cream
250 g sugar
200 gram butter
7 egg yolks

Boil cream and sugar and cool down.
Whip in the egg yolks and heat the mixture up to the boiling point (but not let it boil).
Cool it again.

The butter must be put in little by little before the cream gets cold and until it is sufficiently thin/thick. Be careful with the butter so the cream not gets to thin (it is possible to "cheat" with icing sugar to get it right).

Put the first part of the cake on a plate, smear the buttercream on, put the other part of the cake on top and finish with buttercream around and on top of it all.

If You want You may decorate with 1 tablet of chocolate (ca 100 gram) melted in 2 tablespoons cream and 1 tablespoon butter. Smear the chocolate round the outside and corners, and make a pretty pattern on top.

The cake should be kept cold from it is finished until it is eaten up - even though this period of time tends to be quite short...

 

Smørkrem:

2 dl fløte
250 g sukker
200 g mykt meierismør
7 eggeplommer

Fløte og sukker kokes opp og avkjøles. Eggeplommene vispes inn og varm blandingen opp til kokepunktet (ikke la det koke).
Avkjøl på nytt.

Litt og litt smør røres inn før blandingen blir for kald, og inntil den er passe tykk. Vær forsiktig med smøret slik at det ikke blir for tyntflytende (det er det mulig å "jukse" med melis slik at smørekremen blir passe til å smøre utover).

Legg den ene delen av bunnen på et fat, smør smørkrem oppå, legg den andre delen av bunnen oppå og avslutt med et nytt lag med smørkrem på toppen og rundt kantene.

Hvis ønskelig kan du dekorere med 1 plate kokesjokolade som smeltes i 2 ss kremfløte og 1 ss smør. Dette smøres rundt kantene og hjørnene, samt at det eventuelt lages et vakkert mønster på toppen.

Kaken bør oppbevares kjølig fra den er ferdig til den er oppspist - selv og denne perioden normalt er ganske kort...

 

 

And here is the documented proof and evidence of my success in getting the secret recipe - taken with an appropriate candid camera up my sleeve whilst hanging around my mother-in-law's kitchen...
