This Swedish homemade cake is prepared with saffron and a Swedish version of mulled wine. The time leading up to Christmas in Sweden, starts the 1th of Advent, comes with cakes made with saffron and hot mulled wine. This cake is a combination of them both and will be a hit at your “glögg parties”.
This is a traditional cake in Sweden to bake for the midsummer celebration around the 19-20 of June. It is easy to bake, and fun to decorate it with all the strawberries, but hard to resist not eat them while decorating. The cake is even better one day after the preparation, so if you have time prepare it on day before you will serve it. This cake is so tasty it is hard to resist a second piece.
With this recipe the chocolate balls almost taste like the the ones you find in the cafes. If you prefer a more adult version you can add some whiskey or cognac. For children you can add some chocolate powder like o'boy.
