Chocolate Norwegian Cake (Verdens Beste) Recipe 🇳🇴

3️⃣ Assemble the Cake

1. Slice the cooled chocolate cake horizontally into two even layers.
2. Spread half of the custard cream over the bottom layer and gently place the second cake layer on top.
3. Spread the remaining cream on the top layer and smooth it out with a spatula.

4️⃣ Finish & Chill

1. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder or sprinkle grated chocolate for a decorative and delicious finish.
2. Cover and chill the cake in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before slicing. This helps the cream set and makes it easier to cut clean slices.

Serving Tips

• Serve chilled or at cool room temperature for best texture.
• Pairs beautifully with a strong espresso, black coffee, or a glass of cold milk.

Storage

• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You can make the cake and cream a day ahead and assemble before serving for fresher presentation.
