Norwegian National Day Cake
Overview
May 17th every year is Norway’s National Day, and Norwegians like to decorate their snacks with the National Day atmosphere. I have been paying attention to this style for a long time, so I will join in the fun this year. The recipe for the cake is from Little Chef Piaoxiang.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Separate the egg yolks and proteins and put them into clean, water-free and oil-free basins. Add fine sugar to the egg yolks and beat with a hand mixer until the color becomes lighter.
-
Add cooking oil and stir evenly while adding
-
Add milk, stirring evenly as you add
-
Sift in the flour
-
Mix well and set aside
-
Beat the egg whites with an electric whisk and add sugar for the first time when big bubbles appear
-
Continue to beat until small bubbles add sugar for the second time
-
When you can pull out soft sharp corners, add sugar for the third time
-
Whip until it can be pulled into short, straight peaks
-
Add one-third of the egg whites to the egg yolk batter and mix evenly with a rubber spatula. Do not stir in circles here to avoid defoaming
-
Add another third of the egg whites and mix well
-
Pour the egg yolk paste back into the egg white bowl, and mix evenly with the remaining one-third of the egg whites
-
Pour into the mold and shake it on the table a few times to knock out the air bubbles
-
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees, bake the middle and lower layers for about 40 minutes
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the strawberries and blueberries. Cut the strawberries into small pieces. Whisk the light cream with caster sugar (I forgot to take a photo of this)
-
After the cake has cooled, use a knife to run around the mold to release it
-
Cut into three pieces
-
Spread a layer of cream on a piece of cake and put fruit on it
-
Repeat the previous step and spread another layer, then cover the third layer of cake and spread butter on and around the surface
-
Pour the remaining butter into a piping bag, use a small chrysanthemum nozzle to modify the edges, and start arranging the flag shape
-
Arrange the strawberries and you’re done
