It’s snow day which means time to bake ⛄️⛄️ swipe for cake pic and keep reading for recipe! 🤍 There is not a home in Iceland that doesn't have a recipe for Skúffukaka, hand written on a slightly yellowed piece of paper somewhere in the pantry. It is THE cake Icelanders bake for any and all occasions and most children successfully learn to bake on their own from a young age. And it is inevitable to go through life without having Skúffukaka served at least once on your birthday when growing up in Iceland (hi my entire childhood! 🙋🏼‍♀️) Skúffukaka is easy to make and absolutely delicious, best served in small squares along with an ice cold glass of milk or a piping hot cup of coffee. Traditionally skúffukaka has chocolate/coffee buttercream or simple chocolate glaze. I use skyr because I love the tangy-and freshness it adds. 📸 @katrinbjork 🍽 @fridakristins (I mean look at that swirl!!) 💡 @athenatorri 11⁄2 cup (300 gr) sugar 11⁄2 stick (175 gr) butter room temp 2 eggs 2 cups (300 gr) flour 1⁄2 cup (50 gr) unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1⁄2 tsp baking powder 1⁄2 tsp salt 2 (4.4 oz) containers (250 gr) Vanilla Bean Extra Creamy Skyr 3⁄4 cups (2 dl) water For the topping: 4 (4.4 oz) containers (250 gr) Cold Brew Coffee Extra Creamy Skyr (or vanilla if coffee is not your jam) Unsweetened coconut flakes 1.
