How to make an amazing Norwegian sponge cake - by ARNE & CARLOS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2023
- In todays UA-cam video we demonstrate how to make a Norwegian sponge cake called Bløtkake. The sponge cake's name, its literal translation is "wet cake" in English.
We have made this one before and have now learnt from past mistakes and are aiming for success this time. After baking the cake, we cool it down and proceed to slice it into three layers. For the filling, we whip cream and mix it with strawberry jam then decorate it with strawberries. But will we have enough cream for the decoration?
Hopefully it wont be a Dollygate cake!

Most people are NOT complaining about noise from mixer. We can just turn down sound. Perhaps do not listen to people who just want to cause trouble and strife. Find your happiness in what you do with no worry. Be well, stay safe. Hugs. Thanks to you all for making and sharing fun videos! ❤❤😊
❤️
I prefer a hand held mixture. Those of us who truly appreciate you don't care what you do. 🎉
Regarding the 'murdering of eggs' - ha ha, Carlos, you never fail to show how you can feel irritation and love, at the same time, for Arne's treasured cooking help!
Love you two, you are a match made in heaven, to spread fun and creativity!! 💖🎉🙋💖🏠🌲
Every single baking session with the two of you is hilarious. They are so enjoyable, and even I can’t get a slice of your cake, it’s still such a treat!
As someone who have baked hundreds of bløtkaker throughout my years, I must admit I was a bit worried that the sponge would deflate, and I was stoked when it didn’t!
I didn’t think there was enough air whipped into the eggs, and sukkerbrød is usually put into a cold oven, not preheated. But I’ve never wanted so much to be proved wrong, and boys, that you did! The cake looked so yummy, and there can never be too many strawberries!
Oh btw, Victoria sponge have butter in the batter, so it’s a bit more what we call formkake. The question of greasing the sides of the spring form/tin or not: I remember Ingrid Espelid (Norway’s Julia Child) wanted to look into this, and she baked one cake with greased sides, and one without. Result? No difference what so ever. But the myth lives on. However, if you use butter, also dust it with flour. It’ll make sure the cake slides right out of the spring form. .
Yes! We also buttered, aka "greased," the inside of any cake pan, then lightly floured it. Although we never used parchment paper, our cakes always came clean out of the pan. I love seeing/learning how other people/places bake and cook. 🥰
Another hilarious and fun cooking episode… You two are the most adorable chefs!😂
I love the expression on Arne's face when you said he was right, Carlos! 😄 Sweet that Arne wants everyone to be married. ❤ That cake looks delicious!
Your cooking segments are by far my favorite. I would bet if you had more of them your subscriber base would triple! When I need something to cheer me up I rewatch your gingerbread house construction videos. Keep doing what you do. And whoever said not to use blender to mix I would put them on ignore! Insanity! Tell them to mute when you are using it. Your guys are the best💕
I try to make everything you two make, this is next and I think it will be wonderful. Can't beat Arne and Carlos for great recipes and entertainment.
We hope you like it!
Y'all feel like the grandparents i never had, i swear
"See, I never eat on camera," says Arne with a mouth full of cream, leaning over the sink!! Oh, how I love these cooking episodes! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
😂❤️
Too fun. Next time pls put recipe on episode. These videos, on any subject lighten my heart.❤
More whip cream. YES PLEASE 🎂
😋 that cake looks so scrumptious.
I usually add vanilla extract to my cake mix, and put jam in between first layers and cream in second layer.
I love to watch you two in the kitchen. The cake looks delish and you two are awesome ❤
😂😂😂 Oh, what fun!😂😂😂 And yes, Arne, I also remember my mum and Granny always making this cake whithout the baking sheet. Come to think of it, I don't think they had proper baking sheets back then. I was taught that you are not to put butter on the sides of the mold as that prevents the sponge from "getting a grip" when raising.
Same here in Germany. And I use bigger cake forms as well. I am definitely team Arne here.😉
👍🏻
You two guys are so funny baking together. Love you both. Cake looks great. It looks great. And tastie. You did good guys.yumie😊
Another great episode Boys.
You gents are such comic awesomeness! "Egg murder" kills me, and the parchment paper issue! Arne, I still always lick my beaters, so no shame! Thank you for sharing!
Want to try this! My Mom's side has Norwegian ancestry...this makes me feel at home❤❤Thank you both for doing authentic Norwegian Homecraft and cooking. Love you so much ❤❤
That’s not too many strawberries! We have Strawberry Shortcake here in the states. It’s a small cake, about 3-4 inches across and 1-2 inches tall, topped with whipped cream, then covered with strawberries.
I’m not a baker so I buy little cakes, but I can whip cream. Yum!
And that hand mixer is not too loud! My grandma could whip cream by hand faster than I could track down the mixer and plug it in. 😂 most of the rest of us need a mixer.
Thanks so much to your friend Kate for introducing us.

It's a beautiful cake! The strawberries look delicious on it. I would love to try making this one.
I used to make eggedosis when I was a kid in NW Indiana. It was one of the 1st things I ever made, but I never heard of anyone else in Indiana making it (except for other relatives). So I don't know of an Engelsk term for it. But half my family (including me) was born in Norge. That's the only reason I heard of it.
Carlos, I love the way you are always conscious of the ingredients. Arne, I also love to lick the spoons. I would love to try this cake.
This looks so good.
Carlos you sound like you have a cold. Take care
Woohoo! Bordalo Pinheiro, yeaaah 😍 So proud of my country for it ❤️
The best!
Your cake is beautiful! Arne your decorations are perfect! And Carlos, I totally approve of yor electric mixing tool
Thank you!!
Oh myyyyyyyy..... I’m salivating!!!,😋😋😋😋 that looks delicious, I’m with Arne!, lots of strawberries 👏👏👏
❤️❤️
I'm so excited you did a bløtkake episode. It looks beautiful and delicious. I love my immersion blender. Yours isn't loud. I love the old
story of the family cakes.
Love your cake and your chemistry in the kitchen. I bake a very similar sponge cake too. I haven't baked in a while, but you have inspired me to bake again, and I'll be making your recipe!!
Thank you and happy baking!
I am so happy to see you baking again
Arne and Carlos, your cake looks absolutely scrumptious! 🤗 It is always so much fun to watch you cook together, murdered eggs and all!! I'm sorry that you have had some grumpy people commenting....I saw some saucy shenanigans happening here today, Keep it up! You're real and fun...which is why most of us love you so much!!! You can have your cake and eat it too!!!!💖
thank for the joy and the cake! a trick from my Granny: don’t cut your cake layers with a knife! just cut a little line with a small knife around, lay a strong sewing thread around the cake, cross the thread ends at the front, take a breath and pull the ends to different sides! try it, it’s fun! I have a strong thread with the ends knotted around some bottle corks in my kitchen drawer just for this!
👍🏻
I agree with LOTS of strawberries!
I enjoyed watching…. I’m an experienced baker….and I like to garnish with berries and some mint leaves . Also some shaved dark chocolate nice too with raspberries
I learned something new by watching UA-cam videos. Norway "Bløtkake". It's similar to strawberry cake in Korea(K-FOOD). Today will make you want to eat strawberry cake. Cheer for the video and have a good day.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing!
So fun that your baking adventure reminds Arne of his growing up years! Milking cows, cake in the basement kitchen storage and the consistency of the whipped cream being like sticky snow❤. Beautiful cake redeems you 2 from the Dolly Parton cake💞💞
I just picked up a little Portugese bowl from the op shop. Apparently, the Portugese produce really good pottery. It's only plain, but handy. Your cake stand is lovely. Looks nice and sunny outside - you must be dying to get out. I don't see why you shouldn't take the cake outside to cool other than bird and rodent attack. The windowsill should do nicely. I can see that you all bully Carlos - tut, tut! Carlos is a perfectionist, like me! My dogs love the compost heap! Hang on, is that snow? Are you snowing now? The cake looks delicious. ❤ 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Lovely cake! I have always just cut out a circle of baking paper for the base of the pan and then cut a long strip the depth of the pan, long enough to go all around the pan. That way you don't get a "wrinkly" cake!
Hi guys- cake looks fabulous! While I find all your videos enjoyable/ informative / fun---the cake- baking is among my favorites ! They are a riot! Going to check out recipe .
xx
OH My Goodness. This looks like so much fun to make. This one will be on my to do list today. So Lovely seeing you both back in the kitchen 💞🇺🇸
Love the apron Arne
I absolutely ❤watching you fellows bake! I enjoy the mix of your personalities.
Lovely episode - you're both pure light
Thank you so much!
What a great cake episode! I just started watching the Great British Baking Show (I'm late to the party) -- a month or two ago I wouldn't have known what you were talking about! My daughter is a tremendous baker (she was almost on the kids bakeoff show when she was younger, but was too shy), and just made peach macarons with cream and poached peach filling -- amazing.
That is an amazing show, you are in for a treat!
We use the parchment paper in our pans for cakes. Helps with removing the cake from the pan. Sometimes like how you did it up the sides, but also just on the bottom. You can just put the bottom then a ring around the outside.
You guys are so much fun!!! 😊❤
The cake tray was beautiful, but I really loved the watermelon dishes they had
There are some very beautiful items from there.
Thank you for the cooking lesson ! I greatly enjoy adding your recipes to my Southern recipes ❤️
You two are a hoot! Thanks for sharing.
That cake looks amazing! Watching you guys make me so happy 🤣🤣
Stay happy!
Thank you for your fresh and inspiring content. My Grandmother had Norwegian heritage and she too loved crochet, knitting and baking. We are more alike than different.
Omg! You guys are hilarious…… I love it…I was laughing so hard I was crying…..
❤ Definitely a “must try”!
Yummy!
The cake is beautiful and looks delicious!
Another great baking episode! You should definitely use the electric one, it makes less noise than the other and SO much easier and faster.
Great episode, great cake. I love the idea of mixing the jam and cream. I also love how Arne likes to lick the spoons.
When I want to split a cake, I use sewing thread. Just wrap it round the edge and pull it together. Works perfectly every time.
Thank you.
PS I absolutely agree with you that making cakes (and other dishes) from scratch is the best. I've never used a packet mix.
Thank you for the sewing thread advice
Looks scrumptious! I agree, homemade is always better than something made in a factory and stored in a can.
Always so fun to watch. Cake is beautiful.
Arne turning his back and licking the bowl and spoon is so very funny! Just like we do at home -over the sink!
Always!
Another great baking episode. You both did a great job!
Made it last week for sons bday! My favorite!
Such a great video! That’s the best breakfast idea ever!
Looks delicious! I love your cooking episodes 😋
Aw❤️ it came out sooooo good 😊
Another cooking episode where I giggled so much. The cake looked amazing and very yummy 😋
The ceramic are beautiful, especially the cantaloupe bowls.
Nature is so inspiring.
Arne is the best baker! Love the stories from your childhood Arne. The recipe was expertly measured and executed Carlos. Love the crockery. Another winning episode. 🎉
You two are fantastic! And the cake looks delicious! 🎂😋
The cake looks delicious. Good job
If you were mixing just egg whites and sugar it would be meringue but I think egg and sugar its called yellow cream perhaps. Absolutely great show, keep it up!
Thank you!
That looks delicious and beautiful.
Love your new aprons! Love it when Arne goes cream crazy!!
Whisk eggs and sugar until you can ‘draw’ a figure 8 - Carlos, you did this with the tiramisu. Please remember to add a pinch of salt and 5ml vanilla extract. Cut a circle of baking paper the same size as the base of the cake pan. Love your videos, the cooking ones are very funny!
👍🏻
Looks delicious ❤
Your cake is so beautiful and looks delicious!
Looks delicious!
Looks delicious!🍓🍓🍓
Good job gents.
Always love your cooking sessions, very entertaining!
Thank you
Your decorating is truly magnificently gorgeous 💞💞
So beautiful. It looks delicious as well as very pretty. Great job you two!!! And well done Eric too.
OMG! You guys are so delightful to watch!
Thank you so much for watching!
You both are hilarious baking. This looks delicious and easy. Next time, place the pan on the paper and draw a circle around the pan, then cut out the circle and place it on the bottom of the inside of the pan. ❤
Thank you!
I love this video! I don’t usually bake but now I want to make a cake!
We hope you make one!
Another wonderful visit
You guys are great
Love it I did
Your making my mouth water with that beautiful cake, I agree with Arne more strawberries is always better
I love your aprons! I noticed them immediately!!!
I think all of us should pitch in and get these two a Cuisinart for Christmas!
Your cake looks delicious. You really outdid yourselves with the strawberries!
Wow that looks so awesome yummy yummy in my tummy 😋
Your bløtkake looked great. I used to make them to take to work. If you have problems slicing the layers you could put it in the freezer for a while to make it easier to slice. I often put a layer of raspberry jam with whipped cream on top between the layers. If strawberries are not available, you can also decorate with raspberries and blueberries. It's an old standard and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! I agree Arne, more strawberries and cream were needed! It's very like a Victoria sponge, but I've never heard of sprinkling the sponge with milk. I will have to try it xx
Carlos I think you have the right idea with the cracking of the egg.I always use the edge of the bowl, whip the eggs mindfully when using the hand held utensil! Very Downton Abbey, yes!! Going to be a great result🍰🍰
This cake looks so good! I have a Hamilton Beach hand mixer and a KitchenAid stand mixer. Love the hand mixer! Love your baking videos! You guys are not bossy. You just say how you feel.
Looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I actually prefer all the fruit. Thanks for another wonderful episode!!!
Thank you!
So Happy to see you both . Been watching your cooking reruns this morning. Really enjoy watching them. Especially the ginger bread one 😄 Cake is beautiful looks delicious. Love strawberries. Arne is right the hand mixer makes more noise . Electric one find . I dont mind either one . After all its a cooking show . Sorry but you just cant make everyone happy. . Love you all looking forward for some new cooking shows . Any of your videos is a joy to watch . 💙👍💙

Arne is a farm kid. When it comes to food, he will always buy for an army
