I need a specific Norwegian cake recipe?!


Question: my friend's mom used to make this cake, it had whipped cream and berries in/on it, and was two layers at least. She used to say the cake's name and it sounded like "blue-teh-kok-ed" but I can't spell it and don't know if I'm even pronouncing it right. It was SO good and I'd really like the recipe! Thanks, all! :o)
