Krum Kakes
Delicate, buttery krum kakes with a hint of nutmeg, lightly sweetened and topped with whipped cream—perfect for a cozy breakfast or afternoon tea with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream sugar, nutmeg, whipped cream, melted butter, eggs, and flour together until smooth.
- Drop one tablespoon of batter into the center of a heated cake iron.
- Bake until golden, then turn and roll the cake into shape.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter. If you don’t have whipped cream, substitute with sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor. Nutmeg can be replaced with cinnamon for a different spice profile, enhancing the flavor for those who enjoy traditional American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Krum Kakes are delightful served warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey. They pair well with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, serve alongside Pink Cottage Cheese Salad for a refreshing contrast, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings.

Store any leftover Krum Kakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet in a conventional oven at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the Krum Kakes are done?
Krum Kakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides. Check by lifting the lid of the cake iron; if they lift easily and have a nice color, they are ready to be rolled into shape.
