Skånsk spettkaka PGI
Skånsk spettkaka PGI is a beautiful conical or pyramid shaped cake from Scania, Sweden. It is traditionally made using only fresh eggs, sugar, and potato flour. The ingredients are mixed using a special technique, then formed into a sticky batter. Afterwards, the batter is slowly baked on a rotating mould on a spit at a high temperature, layer by layer, until it develops a golden-brown colour with irregular spikes on its body. It is coated with sugar frosting.
Skånsk spettkaka PGI is typically served with vanilla ice cream, fruit, and a cup of coffee. If a knife is used to cut the cake, it will crumble and shatter, so a hacksaw blade is used instead of it to gently cut the cake into smaller pieces. This Swedish delicacy dates back to the 17th Century and was only affordable to the wealthier classes.
