Swedish cuisine is about more than just meatballs. There are actually so many delicious foods that come from the country that also brings us amazing pop music and build-your-own furniture. Here are just some of them.
Princess Cake
Made with alternating layers of airy sponge cake and pastry cream and topped with a thick-domed layer of whipped cream and a layer of marzipan, princess cake, also called Prinsesstårta, is just as sweet as the name would suggest. This version from Completely Delicious includes raspberry jam in the recipe.
Knäckebröd
A crispy rye flour bread that looks like a cracker, Knäckebröd was once considered to be a poor man’s food but it’s actually delicious and very good for you with high fiber content. It’s great to bring on a hike or road trip. If you want to try making it yourself, check out this recipe from Nordic Kitchen Stories.
Saffransbullar
It’d be a shame not to finish off by mentioning Saffransbullar, or Swedish saffron buns, which are a Christmas tradition that tastes just as delicious year-round. Light and fluffy, this version from Curious Cuisiniere is sure to make you feel jolly.
