Hello Carol,
I could not find a recipe in English. Below is one in Norwegian.
Perhaps you know someone who can translate.
I found a statement on one site that "delfiakake" is "marmite cake".
"Marmite" is a British product, a spread made from brewer's yeast....
A health food sort of thing. I could not find a recipe for marmite cake.
Phaed
Delfiakake
Ingredienser:
2 egg
150 g melis
3 ss kakao
2 ss meget sterk kaffe
250 g Delfiafett (kokosfett), smeltet
16 rektangulære, søte kjeks
valnøttkjerner
geléfrukt
Tilberedning:
Pisk egg og melis til eggedosis. Tilsett kakao, kaffe og det smeltede,
avkjølte delfiafettet. Pisk alt godt sammen.
Fôr en 1-liter formkakeform med matpapir i bunn og sider.
Legg først et lag sjokoladekrem i bunnen, så et lag med kjeks, et nytt
lag med sjokoladekrem til alt er oppbrukt. Avslutt med et lag
sjokoladekrem.
Pynt kaken med valnøttkjerner og geléfrukter.
Sett kaken i kjøleskap til neste dag. Ta kaken ut av formen, og del
den i pene skiver på tvers med en skarp, tynn kniv.

Hi Kathy,
There are several different kinds of farina cakes, but the one below
is the only one I could find that fit your description.
Phaed
Italian Farina Cake
Ingredients :
4 c. milk
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. farina (or cream of wheat)
1 egg
Salt to taste
Almond extract
Lemon extract (to taste)
Lemon rind, grated (if desired)
Preparation :
Mix farina, sugar, salt and milk; bring to a boil. Lower heat
and cook slowly stirring constantly until thick. Cook for 15
minutes and add egg and extracts. Beat well and then pour
into a greased cake pan or platter and let stand several
hours until cold. Take 2 eggs, beat them and have ready crushed
soda cracker crumbs. Slice cold mixture into squares or diamonds;
dip in egg mixture and roll in the cracker crumbs. Fry in 1/2
butter and 1/2 margarine until light brown being careful not to
burn them. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
