Sockerkaka frosting
A recipe for Swedish sockerkaka (sponge cake) which is usually baked in a mould, Swedelicious!. August 12, In England we have a Victoria Sponge. Fortunately we had a couple of friends over the next day who were more than willing to oblige in taking a large slice of cake each. The addition of my home-made strawberry jam on top of the buttercream made for a wonderful strawberry flavour in the middle too. The non-crayfish dinner went well — I served us a big puddle of creamed potatoes with lots of butter, fresh chives and parsley, a nice pile of roasted tomatoes, the tournedos steak and a green peppercorn sauce.
A more than adequate alternative to crayfish, in my humble opinion! The leaves are soon going to be falling off the trees, the blue skies will be turning grey — still though, Paris is lovely in Autumn. I look forward to taking some nice photos to share with you all! Now, about making those foot rubs a weekly thing, rather than annual…? Thanks for the recipe; my mother makes this every year on my Birthday also.
She puts mashed strawberries and raspberries inside the sandwich, including the juice — the juices run out and soak into the cake making it soggy and delicious. Hi Sally, I love the idea of smushed strawberries and raspberries in the middle. The cake is stunning. I love a jam and cream sponge and yes, probably a welcome relief from all those strong and intense chocolate desserts. I would love to make this. It looks so light and fluffy.
Hi Charles, that cake looks incredible, a lovely birthday cake indeed! The Hungarian version is called piskota. I made kladdkaka again and this time I substituted almond floured 1 to 1 but it really bubbled over as the almond flour is too oily, it still tasted great, very rich and chewy and sticky. The humidity is down too thank goodness. I might give it a try with chestnut flour now you mention that!
Looking forward to seeing your post! You are making me hungry, Charles. I have one last slice of plum cake, but no more whipping cream. Well, sock it to me! How did you manage 3-layers when the batter is divided into 2 tins? However you managed that, it looks absolutely beautiful! Great idea making it light with whipping cream instead of buttercream. What a wonderful birthday cake Charles! This looks like something Mr.
N would surely enjoy. N tells me that all the time about my blackberry cobbler. Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks Kristy — it was a wonderful cake… so filling.
Swedish sponge cake
As I mentioned, it was so handy that a couple of people came to eat some slices the next day. I hope you decide to give it a try sometime — no doubt Mr. N would love it :. It does look so light and luscious, and I could easily eat my way through the whole thing. Add that fantastic steak with green peppercorns dish, and wowsa, what a fine birthday dinner for your wife…lucky lady! Wow a perfect birthday cake — mine is coming up soon, can I get one too?
Just looking at this cake makes me feel like a summer day! So pillowy white with gorgeous red strawberries!
