Fyrstekake – Norwegian Prince Cake
Fyrstekake is a classic Norwegian cake with a rich, tender crust and a sweet almond filling. The dough comes together quickly, then chills for at least 30 minutes, making it a good candidate for a make-ahead project. The filling is a simple mix of ground almonds, brown sugar, and a hint of brandy, if you like. Once assembled with a lattice top, it bakes until the crust is golden and the almond filling is soft.
