My partner is half Norwegian and remembers, quite fondly, having Kransekake at Christmas-time when he was a child growing up in Norway. His mother (Bestemor – Norwegian for Grandmother) gave me her recipe
I don’t know where this recipe came from, but it’s the first chocolate cake recipe I ever started making on my very own when I was a wee thing. As you can see from the state of my old recipe book I made it quite a lot (or perhaps just very messily!).
