You may have encountered this little green cake in Ikea, or perhaps a fine European bakery. What is so appealing about the princess cake? This traditional Swedish cake is unique for its green marzipan layer which encloses several layers of delicate fresh cream, raspberry jam, and soft cake. It is light in texture yet incredibly rich in flavor, with multiple layers of incredibly rich flavor. Its name (prinsesstarta in Swedish) comes from the love of the cake from princesses who were the daughters of Prince Carl, Duke of Vastergotland. This elusive cake does not appear often in your everyday bakery, which means one needs to travel far and wide to obtain one. I decided to remedy this and made own!
The first step is to obtain some marzipan and incorporate green food coloring to give it the signature color. Roll it out as if you were making cookies, and try to make the layer relatively thin while taking care not to rip it.
Prepare the whipped heavy cream filling, adding vanilla extract for more flavor.
After filling the layers, cover the cake with more cream.
Then carefully wrap it with your layer of marzipan.
Dust with powdered sugar and add a raspberry for presentation.
Delectable!
