Swedish Princess Cake

Cultural Context

Originating from Sweden, the Princess Cake (Prinsesstårta) is a beloved dessert often served at birthdays and celebrations. Traditionally, it features layers of sponge cake, raspberry jam, and whipped cream, all enveloped in a smooth layer of marzipan. The cake is named after Swedish princesses and symbolizes festivity and joy. Today, variations can be found worldwide, with different flavors and decorations, but the classic green marzipan finish remains a hallmark of this delightful treat.

12 servings
Servings4
3 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
120 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp milk
raspberry jam
300 g marzipan
powdered sugar
1/2 cup vanilla custard
1/2 cup whipped cream

marzipan

🥗Healthier: almond paste

💰Cheaper: fondant

Almond paste has fewer sugars and can be more affordable than marzipan.

cake flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds nutrients while all-purpose is more accessible.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: store-bought whipped topping

Coconut cream provides a dairy-free option, while store-bought is often less expensive.

raspberry jam

🥗Healthier: fresh raspberries

💰Cheaper: strawberry jam

Fresh raspberries are lower in sugar, and strawberry jam is often cheaper.

1

Preheat the oven to 465 degrees Fahrenheit (240 Celsius).

2

Whisk together eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale in color.

3

In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients; flour and baking powder, and add them to the egg mixture.

4

Fold everything carefully using a spatula.

5

Pour the batter in a greased and lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly.

6

Bake the cake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.

7

Let the cake cool completely for about one hour.

8

Once the cake has cooled, cut out 12 circles (3 for each cake).

9

Spread about 1 tbsp of raspberry jam on the first layer, top with another layer and add the vanilla custard.

10

Cover the entire cake with the vanilla cream, and place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes until they set on the outside.

11

Cut out the marzipan, cover the cake with it, and smooth it out to prevent any wrinkles.

12

Dust with a little bit of powdered sugar.
