Today, on August 9th we celebrate Rulltårtans Dag and we of course want to share a delicious recipe with you. The word for rulltårta in English is funnily enough- Swiss Cake, but in spite of the name, the origins of this delicious cake are unclear. One things is clear though, it is very popular in Scandinavia. Rulltårta is a classic cake which can be served for all and any occasion. It is simple to make and it comes out beautiful.

You can make rulltårta with many different fillings, with chocolate, buttercream, vanilla cream, berries, lemon curd, nutella, you name it. The old classic, however, is rulltårta filled with raspberry jam which is often served with cream on top or on the side.
