I have a more than mild obsession with the Scandinavian countries. I’ve never been, but I’m desperate to go. I love their design, the landscape, the coffee-culture and, especially, the food. Midsommar is Swedish for, you guessed it, midsummer, and it’s also a huge celebration, which features pickled herring, flower crowns, plenty of aquavit and a huge berry-covered midsommar cake. This is my fancy take on that cake, which brings the snow-covered winter and the sunny summer of Sweden together in one dessert.
