Did you know...? The story of the prinsesstårta.

The prinsesstårta (princess cake) is a traditional Swedish layer cake consisting of alternating layers of sponge cake, raspberry/strawberry jam, pasty cream and a thick domed layer of whipped cream. 
This is topped by marzipan, usually green sprinkled with powdered sugar and sometimes decorated with an extra pink marzipan rose. 
The receipt was invented by Jenny Åkerström in the 1930s in honor of three princesses: Margaretha, Märtha  and Astrid of Sweden.
