Suksessterte is a classic Norwegian cake featuring a tender almond base topped with a creamy, bright yellow egg custard. The base comes together easily with ground almonds, eggs, and sugar, baking into a light, nutty layer. Meanwhile, the rich custard is cooked gently on the stovetop until thick, then finished with butter for a smooth, pipeable frosting. It's a lovely cake for celebrations, or just when you want something a little special.
