This French delicacy looks impressive even though it is far from a thousand layers (mille means thousand in French). In Sweden we simply call it pancake cake and offers a more festive way of serving crêpes with whipped cream and jam. Perfect for summer when friends and relatives visit.

This traditional Swedish cake has its roots from the late 1800s. The name may have come from the finest, so called princess almonds, used at the time. The green marzipan version was first published by Jenny Åkerström, home economics teacher to the Swedish princesses in the early 1900s.

Super light and airy – quick and easy to make. Useful for all layered cakes, just add your choice of fruit, jam, cream or frosting.

Thick, smooth vanilla cream that enhances any cake or pastry. Very easy to make with this recipe, which only asks for vanilla extract and other common ingredients.
