Recipe for rusk cake
Super simple recipe for a cake consisting of only three ingredients: Rusk, eggs, and sugar.
The cake is a good base cake to which you can add all sorts of ingredients, such as:
- Chopped nuts
- Chocolate
- Raisins
- Spices
I have often added white chocolate to the dough, but one could also try other chocolates. It’s probably also good with caramel or licorice. When we had it during my childhood, it was always served with crème fraîche and canned fruit, and I still think that actually works.
