Princesstårta // Princess cake

''Princessstårtas week is in September 20 to 26. The original recipe was made in the 30's in teacher's Jenny Åkerström home, where princesses Margaretha, Märtha and Astrid were students.''

Ingredients:

Bottom:

• 4 eggs
• 2 dl sugar
• 1 dl flour
• 1 dl potato flour

Kladdkaka

I decided to try a Swedish dessert after being prompted by Henrik, so here is my own version of the famous "kladdkaka". I followed the wonderful recipe from Susanne's recepten.se, and made some changes to fit my own tastes, or correct some mistakes throughout the making. Henrik, being a fan of the dessert, verified that it was very tasty, so I trust his opinion! Here's how it was done:

Time you'll need to make this: 40-60 minutes
Difficulty level: easy

Ingredients (for 6 small portions):
- 2 medium sized eggs
- 100g butter (I use vegetable butter) - and if you feel it's not enough while you make the cake, have some olive oil aside (4-5 spoons), it works great as a substitute
- 2,5dl brown sugar (I would go for 2dl, even)
- 1 spoon vanilla sugar
- 3 spoons cocoa powder
- 2dl all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of whipped or double cream
- 1 packet of frozen raspberries
- 1 spoon of powdered sugar

You will need a cake form - as it is suggested in Susanne's recipe, it should be about 20cm in diameter. I only had a round one with a hole in the middle available (used most often for other sorts of cakes), but I baked it there without an issue.
I also found it necessary to have an electrical mixer, but I suppose you can manage it with mixing it yourself, and get some good arm exercise at the same time :D

Sponge cake with chocolate buttercream {Dobos torta}

''Dobos torte or Dobosh, a Hungarian sponge cake layered with chocolate buttercream and topped with caramel was invented by the famous Hungarian confectioner Jozsef C. Dobos in 1884, who aimed to create a cake that would last longer than other pastries in an age when cooling techniques were limited.'' Source-Wikipedia

Kinder cake (the best cake ever) :)

This is one of my all time favorite cakes. Easy to make, rich in taste, creamy and really nice. Not too sweet. Perfect combinations of ingredients. I changed original recipe that I got from my mom and adapted it very well to my taste :) and that means basically less butter, less sugar.
The cake is big, 12 pieces at least. Baked in 26 cm cake mold.

Swedish waffles

Swedish, Serbian, Greeks... I think waffles are same everywhere :). In Serbia it's called grandma's cookie :). Dunno why, maybe because they smell delicious, like a cookie that only granny can make. Also they are called galette, but that comes from the French cuisine. Anyway, the difference between these Swedish waffles and the rest can be only in the butter. I've learnt that if you are Swede then you are using lots, lots, lots of butter everywhere :) and butter is the one that gives a nice flavor to food.
