Kransekage or kransekake (Norwegian and Danish, "wreath cake") is a traditional Danish and Norwegian confection, often eaten on special occasions in Scandinavia.
In Norway it is alternatively referred to as tårnkake ("tower cake") and often prepared for Constitution Day celebrations, Christmas, weddings, and baptisms. In Denmark it is typically eaten as part of New Year celebrations, while a variation of the cake, overflødighedshorn ("cornucopia"), is traditionally served at weddings and baptisms.
The dough for kransekage is made with a rich almond, sugar, marzipan, and egg white mixture. This dough is also used in other recipes, i.e. see Napoleon's hat.
