# Fyrstekake

Fyrstekake or prince's cake is a Norwegian cake consisting of shortcrust pastry, almond filling or marzipan, rum, powdered sugar, butter, cardamom, cinnamon, and eggs. It typically has a signature lattice pattern on top and a decadent, moist filling. It is occasionally topped with whipped cream and served during Christmas, along with coffee or tea.

## History

Fyrstekake was developed by a confectioner in Trondheim in 1856 and has been a staple in Norwegian bakeries every since.
