1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt until well combined.
3
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and vanilla extract together until slightly frothy. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4
Pipe the Dough
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the dough into desired shapes, typically rings, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow cooling completely on a wire rack.

6
Prepare the Frosting
In a clean bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, egg white, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy.
7
Decorate the Cakes
Once the cakes are completely cooled, use a piping bag to frost the Kransekake in a decorative pattern. Allow the frosting to set before serving.
