Scandinavian "Kransekage"
In a traditional Scandinavian New Year we serve the classic "Kransekage".
This cake is all marzipan goodness but not the easiest cake to make.
Maja Chocolat has put a modern spin on this cake with an "easy" recipe for New Years.
Behind the berry and gold glitter exterior you will find delicious liquorice, soft nougat and marzipan with a hint of orange.
