Swedish culture at its best
Fika at the office, fika over the weekend, fika with family or fika with a date. Swedes take a fika several times a day: a break with some treats and a cup of coffee. A perfect opportunity to unwind and catch up with friends and coworkers. A Swedish coffee break is incomplete without ‘fikabröd’, a biscuit, cake, or sweet roll. Cinnamon rolls are the most popular but there are other baked delights that have yet to make it to the Netherlands, such as Toscakaka and Kardemummakaka. Check out these delicious cakes and download the recipe's below.
TOSCAKAKA
Swedish almond-caramel cakeWho doesn’t love this cake! Toscakaka consists of a light vanilla cake with caramelised almonds on top for a delicious contrast between so! and crunchy. In this recipe, we add a touch of cinnamon to make the topping that much more irresistible.
KARDAMUMMAKAKA
Swedish cardamom cakeSwedes just love cardamom. Its floral, refreshing flavour makes for a perfect match with sweet pastry. This cardamom cake is simple, elegant and the cardamom gives it a delicious aroma!
