Runeberg Day
Finland
Today is The day to celebrate Finland’s National Poet – Johan Ludvig Runeberg…

Cake!
…and because he liked a sweet cake for breakfast, his wife Frederika invented this special treat! It’s a little cardamom cake that has a well filled with raspberry jam, and a little circle of icing around the jam – yum!

Yummy
These little cakes appear in Finnish bakeries around this time of year – we don’t have the proper cylinder-shaped pan so have to make do with muffin pans! We thought that it would adapt well to a gluten free version since a good proportion of the flour in the recipe is almond flour.

Coriander and Tipsy agree with Herra Runeberg, they ARE delicious for breakfast!

You’ve given us another reason to celebrate. Thanks for the reminder of this special day.
Any day that celebrates with cake is a day we like to celebrate!
what a lovelyl (and tasty) way to celebrate a poet. The girls look as tho they are enjoying the celebration.
It was tasty! This gluten free version was a good as any other we have tried…but we must track down one of those cylindrical pans to make them look even better!
You are amazing finding all these special days! And the cakes sound delicious – what an indulgence it is to have cake for breakfast!
Cake for breakfast is a fine thing! And pancake day is coming up soon!
That special cake looks like a wonderful way to celebrate 🙂
And it’s so tasty! We think maybe every morning for breakfast might be a bit much but once in a while is great!
