Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Swedish
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of white bread
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup smoked salmon
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup dill, chopped
Instructions
- Remove the crusts from the white bread loaf and slice the bread horizontally into thin, even layers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and well-blended. This will serve as the primary "frosting" for the sandwich cake.
- On a large serving platter, begin layering the bread slices, spreading a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture between each slice.
- Once all bread layers are stacked, cover the entire "cake" completely with the remaining cream cheese and mayonnaise mixture, creating a smooth, even coating on all sides.
- Carefully arrange sliced smoked salmon across the top layer of the cake, creating an elegant pattern.
- Decoratively place cucumber and tomato slices around the salmon, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped dill over the top of the cake for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the Smörgåstårta for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cake to set.
- Slice and serve chilled as a traditional Swedish sandwich cake, perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Tips
- Bread Selection: Use fresh, soft white bread and remove crusts for a smooth, elegant appearance.
- Cream Cheese Mixture: Ensure your cream cheese and mayonnaise are at room temperature for easier blending.
- Layering Technique: Apply thin, even layers of cream cheese mixture between bread slices to maintain structural integrity.
- Decoration Matters: Take your time arranging salmon, cucumber, and tomato slices for a visually stunning presentation.
- Chilling is Crucial: Always refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
- Serving Tip: Use a sharp, clean knife to slice the Smörgåstårta for perfect, clean cuts.
- Variation: Experiment with different protein fillings like ham, shrimp, or chicken to personalize your cake.
