Runeberg Cake
Runeberg Cake is a traditional Finnish pastry named after the poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg. It is typically made with a mixture of almond flour, sugar, and breadcrumbs, giving it a moist texture. The cake is often flavored with rum or arrack and is topped with a ring of icing, usually in the shape of a heart.
This cake is especially popular during Runeberg's Day, celebrated on February 5th in Finland. It is commonly enjoyed with coffee and is a symbol of Finnish culture and heritage, reflecting the country's love for literature and culinary traditions.
