From WWII. The entire sentence: "En ting er sikkert, det tok mer enn 45 minutter å lage en krisekake."
I feel convinced that "emergency cake" doesn't cut it here:). I understand the meaning of the word, I just don't know if English even has a suitable equivalent.

war recipe cake
My mom used to make this cake. There was a special Norwegian cookbook that used ingredients that there was some possiblity of getting in Norway during the war.
Here in the US my partner has an old cookbook from his mom that has "war recipes". Even here in the US you couldn't get everything you wanted during the war.
