Vegan Danish NYE Wreath Cake -“Kransekage” π
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 developed by my beautiful boyfriend Niclas. 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 π

Vegan Danish NYE Wreath Cake – “Kransekage” π
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 180β/355β 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 π
- Happy New Year π
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.
