Vegan Danish NYE Wreath Cake -“Kransekage” 🎉
New Year’s Eve is always about great food and company, and this Traditional Danish NYE Wreath Cake – “Kransekage” is delightful for the 12 o’clock champagne. Here it is in a healthy whole foods vegan version. It’s made of a marzipan dough, dipped in chocolate and with sprinkle of cashew butter on top. It’s quite rich, so usually a half to one per person is enough. After all, you already had your whole x-course dinner and snacks before enjoying this baby at 12. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉

Vegan Danish NYE Wreath Cake – “Kransekage” 🎉
Elegant and decadent New Year's Eve cake filled with luxurious marzipan and chocolate.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Dough
- 200 g almonds
- 12 juicy dates *
- 2 tbsp water
- 4 tbsp buckwheat flour
- 1 pinch of vanilla powder
Decoration
- 40 g dark chocolate (we use 100%)
- 1 tbsp cashew butter
Instructions
Dough
- Blend the almonds into flour. (Or use almond flour)
- Pit the dates. Either blend the dates until smooth or mash them with a fork. Depending on their juiciness, you may need to add a little water.
- Mix all ingredients for the dough.
- Turn on the oven at 180℃/355℉ conventional.
- Split the dough into six pieces and form triangular shaped biscuits.
- Place the pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for about 12 minutes. They might seem light in colour, but the bottom will get a bit more brown.
- Allow the pieces to cool down.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. Once the pieces are cooled down, dip the bottom in chocolate and allow to cool on a baking ray. Place them on the side (chocolate side NOT facing the baking ray, but sideways), so they dont get indents in the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, place them on the serving plate and use a fork to decorate them with cashew butter lines. Be creative and have fun 🙂
- Happy New Year 🎉
Notes
* If you use date puree from my recipe here, use 112 g and skip the 2 tbsp water. Add the water if dough is still too dry and not sticking firmly together.

Wauv de er virkelig gode. Elsker dem, jeg er så glad for kransekage og de her er virkelige gode. Dejligt at kunne finde nogle der er veganske.
Tusind tak! Jeg er også selv meget begejstret for marcipan-smagen, så skønt du også kan bruge opskriften og synes om dem 🙂
