Norwegian Apple Cake (Eplekake)

This Norwegian Apple cake is an authentic, simple cake that is outstanding. Classics are classics for a reason! While I have never been to Norway, I have had versions of this cake throughout my life. This is a butter cake is filled with cinnamon sugar apples, which is perfect paired with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or plain! You can enjoy this apple cake for breakfast with a cup of coffee, as an afternoon snack, or even for dessert!! But I will say that while I am partial to enjoying this cake warm, it is one of those cakes that (in my opinion) is better the next day!

What Are the Best Types Of Apples For Baking?

There are so many apples to choose from when you get to the supermarket! They all look so beautiful, but know that all apples are not great for baking! I almost exclusively use Granny Smith apples when I bake this apple cake. These tart apples hold their structure while they bake, not turning to total mush, and are sweet so their flavor really pops! 

Apples To Avoid In Baking:

Certain apples are just too soft, or don’t have enough flavor to pack a punch in baking. Here is a list of apples that should be enjoyed fresh or turned into applesauce!

  • McIntosh
  • Macoun
  • Gala
  • Red Delicious

Apples That Are Great To Bake With:

These apples are firm, sweet, and a little tart. They hold their structure in baking and their flavor really comes through without getting too mushy!

  • Granny Smith
  • Pink Lady
  • Braeburn
  • Cortland
  • Fuji
  • Honeycrisp
