World's Best Cake
Try this recipe from Norwegian-born Paul Lowe,
creator of " Sweet Paul " magazine.
Serves 8
This cake was awarded the title of Norway's National Cake a few
years back. It's called verdens beste in Norwegian, and I agree
that it just might be the world's best. You may be skeptical of
its superiority, since it isn't iced as are many American cakes.
When we photographed it, I left it at the studio apartment of
Alexandra Grablewski, this book's photographer, and the next
day she confessed to having eaten two huge servings. " I guess
the Norwegians are right, " she said.
10 ½ Tbsp. (1 stick plus 2 ½ tbsp.) butter, softened
1
cups granulated sugar
1 cups unbleached all-purpose fl our
1 tsp. baking powder
5 large eggs, separated
cup whole milk
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 cup heavy cream
½ vanilla bean
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle position.
Line an 8-x-12-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat the butter and cup of the sugar in a large bowl with
an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the fl our and baking powder and mix well on low speed.
4. Mix in the egg yolks and milk.
5. Scrape the batter into the baking pan.
6. In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining
1 cup sugar to soft peaks. Spread on top of the cake layer.
Sprinkle with the almond slices.

7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the meringue is golden
brown and puffed. Cool on a wire rack in the pan. Transfer to
a cutting board.
8. When the cake is cool, put the cream in a medium bowl and
scrape in the vanilla seeds. Discard the vanilla pod. Beat to soft
peaks with an electric mixer, about 3 minutes.
9. Cut the cake in half crosswise with a serrated knife. Place one
half of the cake on a serving tray and cover with the cream.
Place the other half, meringue side up, on top.
10. Let the cake sit for 1 hour in the fridge before serving.
