Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Strawberry-and-cream layer cake (Bløtkake)

    • twoyolks on May 30, 2026

      This is a nice enough cake but there really isn't enough whipped cream to cover it. I also found the cake layers to have been a bit too browned and crispy on the outside. I think I'd prefer a sponge cake. There's also a missing instruction to cut the cakes in half to get the appropriate amount of layers.

  • Great-Grandma Josephine's hear-shaped waffles (Vafler/ Våfflor)

    • MsMonsoon on March 18, 2026

      These came out of the heart-shaped waffle iron rather floppy, even when quite brown. Some even broke apart along the seams when lifting out of the iron. I had recently made Marion Cunningham’s waffles (not the yeast raised ones) which came out more crisp. Maybe I could add cardamom to that recipe. This recipe uses a whole cup of sugar, whereas Marion’s uses just 2 Tbsp.

  • Vanilla-flecked butter wreath cookies (Vaniljekranse)

    • twoyolks on December 14, 2025

      I found these to be a bit bland with the vanilla flavor only coming through a small amount. They are not particularly sweet either. I think they'd do better with a coarse sugar on top before baking. They are also quite difficult to pipe out. A disposable pastry bag will break. I mostly piped them in a line and then rearranged them into a circular. I also only got 15 cookies.
