Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These luxurious sweets are great gifts and really fun to make.
This basic chocolate cake recipe is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. Results in a very light, moist and not overly sweet sponge.
This is a smooth, creamy buttercream that is less sweet and buttery in flavor than most frostings. It was the frosting originally used for Red Velvet Cake. It uses regular sugar instead of powdered sugar and is really easy to make.
This cake serves many and can easily be frozen and thawed for later. My kids call them chocolate squares but I like the Swedish name Kärleksmums that I liberally translated to Lovebites.
These are two of the most popular cookies in Sweden made by Göteborgs kex (IKEA sells copycat versions, too). My cookies may not be identical, but pretty close in flavor and consistency. Yum!!
Want to learn how to eat Swedish smörgåsbord? Or julbord, as we call it when served at Christmas. And try some more of my favorite recipes for the holidays.
This traditional Christmas breakfast can be bought in Swedish supermarkets all year round, but is especially popular during winter. It is creamy, filling and sweet, served with cold milk and sugar/cinnamon on top.
One thing I always missed since moving to America was this soft, sweet and flavorful bread. I finally found the perfect recipe that tastes just like my favorite Swedish limpa.
“Leverpastej” is one of my favorite sandwich spreads, especially on limpa, topped with a few slices of fresh or pickled cucumber. This is a simple and quick recipe with just a few ingredients.
This dish was supposedly a favorite of the 19th century Swedish opera singer Per Adolf “Pelle” Janzon. It is delicious any time of the year, but has a given place on the Swedish julbord (Christmas table). My version is creamy with only a hint of anchovy.
