Waking up cold in our van parked outside our friends handcrafted tiny home in Norway, Iz starts the day by making Tom a stinging nettle and pine needle birthday cake. We hike over the hills where Lar's parents have baked us a traditional Norwegian cinnamon Kringla cake. We demonstrate our VANLIFE projector setup in our friends tiny home.

Unfortunately the link to the cake recipe no longer works http://panashadventures.com/indulgent-nettle-cake/ but here is a summary of it:

Indulgent Stinging Nettle Cake (vegan):
Ingredients
20 young nettle leaves
1 and a 1/4 cup all plain flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup oat milk
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (I didn't have any so I substituted with oatly sour cream)
1 cup icing sugar
Handful of clean pine needles
1/4 cup vegan butter

Method
- leave the pine needles infusing in the cup of icing sugar for 24 hours.
- pour boiled water over the nettle leaves and leave for a few minutes. Strain then blend the nettles leaves and the oat milk together. Stir the blended nettle and oat milk mixture in with the flour, sugar, baking soda and apple cider vinegar.
- pour mixture into a cake tin and cook for 30 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
- sieve the needles out of the icing sugar and whisk together the icing sugar and butter to make a frosting
- frost your cake once its cooled and decorate with primrose flowers or in my case I used sliced nectarines!

Enjoy!
