Cooking Tree will show you how to make a homemade version of this delectable recipe for Verdens Beste (Norwegian cake).

I made a classic Norwegian cake with Diplomat cream sandwiched on a cake sheet topped with meringue and almonds! In Norway, this cake is called World’s Best Cake.

The meringue and almonds are placed on the sheet and baked, the meringue in the middle are moist and chewy, and the top is crispy and savory.

Diplomat cream mixed with fresh cream and custard cream is a fantastic combination with this cake, so I think the taste is doubled~~
As the name suggests, this is really delicious cake~^^

Enjoy watching~~♬~
