Vegetarian Smörgåstårta (Swedish Sandwich Cake)

The smörgåstårta is normally made up of several layers of white or light rye bread with creamy fillings in between. The fillings and toppings vary, but egg and mayonnaise are often the base, additional filling may vary greatly but often includes one or more of the following: liver pâté, olives, shrimp, ham, various cold cuts, caviar, tomato, cucumber, grapes, lemon slices, cheese and smoked salmon.

Smörgåstårta is served cold and sliced like a dessert cake. The types of sandwich cakes vary from meat, fish, combinations of cheeses and meats to vegan. The smörgåstårta top decor often reflects the ingredients used as a filling. Voileipäkakku (in Finnish) is part of family gathering dishes from birthday parties, weddings or funerals in Finland (source wikipedia)

So in simple terms, it’s a cake made of sandwich! Sounds interesting, Right?

It is not exactly a cake and not a quite sandwich. Bread work as a vessel to keep all the stuffing and things together . Different ingredients are soaked in bread holes and fill you mouth with abundance of flavors :P

The best thing about smörgåstårta is that you can make it vegetarian unlike the authentic one which has more of salmon and prawns used, but, its totally up to you, what all you want to fill in and put on as per your preference and taste .
