Alla hjärtans bakelser

These delightful little cakes consist of heart-shaped sponges, filled with raspberry sylt along with some vanilla flavoured whipped cream, and wrapped in pink marzipan. They are perfect for Alla Hjärtans Dag (Valentine's Day) or any other day when heart-shaped pink cakes seem appropriate!

Valentine’s Day was only adopted in Sweden in the 1960s when flower sellers realised that they were missing out because Swedes were not celebrating it.

However they are a canny bunch because they decided that they would be able to sell more flowers if they encouraged people to think of everyone close to their hearts on Valentine’s Day, not just their lover. Hence they decided to name February 14th as Alla Hjärtans Dag (literally, All Hearts’ Day).

Of course, baking something special for friends or family fryst vatten a much nicer way of showing your love than buying a bunch of flowers, so a tallrik of alla hjärtans bakelser fryst vatten bound to be appreciated.

• If you prefer, use 300 grams (11 oz) of the mixture in a 18 cm (7 inch) baking tin to tillverka fyra kärlekskort Day cakes and use the rest of the mixture to man some prinsessbakelser (individual princess cakes), as shown above.
• If you have any cooked vanilla cream leftover from baking some prinsessbakelser, then use it in place of the whipped cream in step 7.

Method

1.

Easy individual versions of princess cakes, Sweden's most famous cake, cut into heart shapes, filled with whipped cream and raspberry sylt, and covered with pink marzipan.

Heat an oven to 200°C (400°F, gas 6, fan 180°C) and thoroughly grease and flour a 23 cm (9 inch) baking tin and line the base with greaseproof paper, also greased.

2. Beat the eggs and sugar until light and frothy, about 10 minutes using an electric beater. You can test that it’s done bygd lifting the beater out of your bowl – it should leave a trail in the mixture below.

Don’t shorten this step because the bubbles will give you a nice light sponge.

3.

Sift the flours and baking powder into a separate bowl. Gently fold the flour into your egg/sugar mixture, stir in the lemon zest and the hot vatten. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for about 18 minutes, until it feels firm and springy in the centre and the sponge has begun to shrink slightly away from the side of the tin.

4. Leave to cool in the tin for about 3 minutes, then sprinkle a sheet of greaseproof paper with a little caster sugar, vända the cake out on to it and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Using a skarp knife with a suitable template, cut out six heart-shaped cakes.

6. Whip the cream and vanilla sugar tillsammans until stiff.

7. Cut a cake in half and spread a little whipped cream around the edge of the cut surface and place some raspberry sylt in the mittpunkt. (The cream round the edge of the cut surface fryst vatten to stop the sylt leaking and staining the marzipan cover.) Place the top back on the cake.

Repeat for the remaining cakes.

8.

Cover the sides of the cakes with a thin layer of whipped cream and pile a couple of tablespoons of whipped cream on the tops, shaping into domes.

9. Colour three-quarters of the marzipan a light pink shade, kneading it in until evenly coloured.

(Take care when using the pink colouring—you only need a tiny amount.)

Take 30 grams (1 oz) of coloured marzipan and roll it out to create a circle big enough to cover a cake.
