00:01 Swedish Princess Cake Recipe.
00:04 Probably the most famous cake in Sweden.
00:06 No birthday or celebration is complete without a princess cake.
00:10 The recipe was first printed in 1948 under the name of Green Cake in a book by Royal
00:16 Home Economist Jenny Akerstrom who was teaching the three Swedish princesses Margaretha, Martha
00:24 and Astrid, daughters of Prince Carl, brother of King Gustav V.
00:29 The cake is said to eventually be known as princess cake because the princesses loved
00:33 it so much.
00:35 Swedes love this cake so much.
00:38 There is a whole week devoted to it.
00:40 The fourth week in September is known as the week of the Princess Darda in 2014.
00:45 20-27 Sep.
00:48 During this week in Sweden, sales of princess cakes more than double and all cakes are decorated
00:54 with a little crown too.

00:57 You can get really amazing princess cakes at the bakery.

01:07 at home in less than 20 minutes.
