Is it frosting or is it custard? It's just magic, isn't it?
If you like the flavor of almond, this is your cake. If you like pastry cream and custard-y sweets , this is your cake. If you like astoundingly delicious desserts that happen to be light and delicate and easy to eat three slices of, then this is definitely your cake.
A classic Swedish recipe, this cake is remarkable in a few ways. For starters, the layers are essentially oversized. The batter consists mainly of sugar, beaten egg whites, and almond flour , yielding a cake that's chewy and nutty and reminiscent of those classic almond cookies. With just a touch of flour, it's light and doesn't leave you feeling weighed down the way a slab of chocolate layer cake would.Then there's the icing: a billowy dream of a frosting that uses a very cool method. First, you make a classic vanilla bean custard by whisking hot cream with sugar into egg yolks and cooking it over low heat until it thickens and coats a spoon. You chill the custard until cold, then beat it into softened butter with a pinch of salt.
