Chocolate Norwegian Cake (Verdens Beste) Recipe

Assembly

Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two even layers using a serrated knife.
Spread a generous layer of the prepared cream over the bottom cake layer, then place the second cake layer on top.
Spread more cream on top of the cake and along the sides (optional, depending on your preference).
Sprinkle grated chocolate or sifted cocoa powder over the top for decoration.
Refrigerate the assembled cake for 1–2 hours before serving to allow the cream to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Serving: Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
Storage: Keep the cake refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Add a layer of fresh raspberries or cherry compote between the cake and cream for a fruity touch.
Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for a milder chocolate base.
