The Swedish Sandwich Cake - Swedish or not, the best party dish ever!

I spent my Sunday baking cakes for a birthday celebration. I made two Strawberry Cakes and one really large Sandwich Cake, approx. for 18 people. When having a party it is actually the ideal food to serve, especially if you don't know how many guests to expect. It took a couple of hours of work but it was worth it, I can assure you - it was a real feast to lay your eyes on and it tasted delicious. If any one would like to have the recipe just let me know.

Smörgåstårta, which means Sandwich Cake, is typical party food in Sweden. It’s like a large sandwich with a lot of creamy filling, just like a cake, and it is served cold. The smörgåstårta consists of 2-3 layers of bread slices (most common is white bread) with different delicious creamy fillings.

My very own Smörgåstårta with salmon and prawns..

As far as I know this "Swedish dish" is originally from the US. However, according to Wikipedia there is one bakery in northern Sweden (Gunnar Sjödahl, Wedemarks Konditori in Östersund) that claims to be the inventor of The Smörgåstårta back in the early 60's. I don't know if this is accurate though. It really doesn't matter, it's no matter what a delicious dish for everyone to enjoy.

Here is the Strawberry-Kiwi Cake I made for "dessert"...:=)))

Siv's Strawberry and Kiwi Cake

1pkt. cake plates

First layer/filling
2-3. mashed bananas
2-3 tbsp strawberry jam is spread on top of the banana filling
if you like you can also add some kiwi on this layer

Second layer/filling
1 pkt. vanilla cream (use 2 bags) approx. 3 deciliter

Use about 3 dl cream, to be whipped and spread on the cake. Garnish as you prefer, for ex. with fresh strawberries, kivi or other fruit. Canned small mandarine orange wedges is also nice
