This Swedish cake,traditionally made to celebrate the Scandinavian midsummer,represents all that is light and joyful about long,warm days. A delicate sponge with a thin layer of jam,luscious custard cream and juicy berries on top,it’s as simple as it is beautiful.
Typically made as a layer cake,much like a Victoria sponge,my version is a slightly deconstructed traybake,to be made ahead and brought unfussily to the table after a barbecue.
