Delicious "literary" pastry


Soon it is February 5th, the day when Finland´s national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg was born (in 1804). In Finland, at least among the Swedish speaking Finns, various festive programmes are organised on that day, but there is one informal way of celebrating Runeberg, which has become increasingly popular around the time of his birthday; enjoying the poet´s favourite pastry - the Runeberg cake. I can assure you that the cake is very tasty!

If you would like to try making a Runberg cupcake youself, the Nordic Recipe Archive has an excellent recipe page. And this Finnish blogger has another version of with lots of rum instead of Amaretto.
