Alexandertorte
- Media: Alexandertorte
Alexandertorte, also known as Alexander Torte or Aleksander Torte (Latvian: Aleksandra kūka, Aleksandra torte), is a cake that was conceived to commemorate a visit of Tsar Alexander III in Riga,[1] today's capital of Latvia.
Consisting of pastry strips filled with raspberry preserves or raspberry jam, it is traditionally eaten as a dessert after lunch or dinner, but it can also be served at tea time. It should be made a day or so before it is planned to serve, because the icing must be hard before the cake is cut.[2]
A similar dessert exists in Denmark, and is known as hindbærsnitte.[3] In the German language area, a cake of the same name exists that has almonds and wineberries as the main ingredients.[4]
A Finnish version of the dessert called Aleksanterinleivos [fi] commemorates Tsar Alexander I of Russia and has been produced since 1818.[5]
