  •   Media: Kvæfjord cake

Kvæfjord cake (Norwegian: Kvæfjordkake), or Verdens beste ("the world's best"), is a sponge cake baked with meringue, vanilla cream and almonds. [1]

The cake is named for Kvæfjord, a municipality in Norway. In September 2002, the cake was named Norway's national cake by listeners of Nitimen, a Norwegian entertainment show. Other participants included marzipan cake, carrot cake, kransekake and chocolate cake.[2]

In Sweden and Finland, the cake is known as Brita cake (Swedish: Britatårta, Finnish: Brita-kakku)[3] after Brita Edland, who popularized the cake through a series of magazine articles.[4] In both countries, the cake is commonly decorated with fresh berries.[3] Other names include Pinocchio cake, manor cake (herrgårdstårta), and summer cake (sommartårta).[3]
