What is Fika?

In Swedish tradition, Fika is a break - a pause - in your day to indulge in the simple pleasures of a good cup of coffee or tea, some sweets or pastries, and time shared with friends and loved ones.

Hazelnut Sponge with Cinnamon Buttercream

Wow. It's been a long time since I've last posted, so to make amends I'm finally updating!

To keep in the spirit of untimeliness, the cake featured was actually made last December. Woops.

(Hence the Christmas ornaments)

As the title indicates, it is a hazelnut sponge cake with cinnamon buttercream between the layers. The outside was masked with ground filberts (also typically known as hazelnuts, to the confusion of anyone looking for them at Bulk Barn).
