Swedish sandwich cake | smörgåstårta
I remember the first time I had a Swedish sandwich cake in Sweden, it was during summer and they served the cake during “fika” (Swedish word that is usually translated as coffee and cake break). The cake was beautifully decorated and especially the top of the cake was magnificent and luxurious looking with all the ingredients.
I looked at my piece of cake on my plate and I could see several layers of different fillings. The taste was very special, all the different kinds of layers just mixed into something incredible and it all was very delicious. Today's sandwich cake is based on my memory from that moment, and I have to say that I feel quite satisfied with my sandwich cake and the best part is that this cake is very easy to make but still tastes the best!
