Sweden: Prinsesstårta
Description
Edit - added LA cream cheese icing after competition.
Princess cake — or prinsesstårta in Swedish — is a layer cake synonymous with Sweden that is covered in a hard topping of marzipan, which is usually green, giving the cake a unique look. Beneath the marzipan frosting are alternating layers of sponge cake, pastry cream, and whipped cream and often contains raspberry.
Flavor notes for those who are flavor-nerd-ioligists. As taste is subjective this recipe is a ballpark of what I perceive to be acceptable. At the end of the day I hope that at least this combination of flavors will get you pretty close to this profile.
**WF Princess Cake** is a concentrate that this profile is based on which from the manufacturers description is alternating layers of sponge cake, pastry cream, and whipped cream, topped with marzipan.
**WF Angel Cake** is a sponge cake with a buttercream flavor and it also carries a light berry note. The Angel Cake also work well with the WF Buttercream Frosting.
**WF Buttercream Frosting** is a delicate sugary buttercream frosting that needs some boosting from another cream.
The **WF Pistacio Cream** provides a boost to the buttercream and the creamy almond is bent towards a marzipan with the aid of FA Marzipan.
**FA Marzipan** is used as a sweetener and adds nuttiness of sugar-glazed bitter almonds.
The **MB Pink Raspberry** provides a soft, lightly floral and tart contrast to the cake layers.
