These tarts are named after a Finnish-Swedish poet, J.L. Runeberg. His wife invented the recipe back in 19th century, and nowadays it's a popular treat to enjoy in Finland in February 🇫🇮

My version: these turned out looking like mini muffins, instead of a cake or a tart...! :-D To be transparent, this would NOT be the most authentic and traditional way to bake Runeberg cakes... But they turned out tasty, that's what matters :-)

Steps

1

1) Mix butter and sugar together. 2) Mix all dry ingredients separately together. 3) mix dairy products together. I ended up not having cream, so I pivoted and mixed a few spoonfuls of milk and creme fraiche together.
2

Mix the dry ingredients and cream into the dough, alternating and mixing the whole time.
3

Add the dough into little cups, I created mini muffins and used also one coffee cup to create a larger cake version. Tip: worth to make sure you can easily get the cakes out of the cups by adding a tiny bit of butter / flour into each cup before the dough.
Bake in 175 C / 350 F for about 15-20 minutes. My mini muffins only needed 15 minutes.
4

After baking, let them sit and cool down for 10 minutes. Add a spoonful of the moisture mix on top of each cake. Let the cakes sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or even better over night).
5

Decorate with powdered sugar and a marmalade. Please note: the original decoration calls for making a white, round icing on top of each cake. However, I opted in for a simpler version :-)

My two favorite quotes:"I cook with wine; sometimes I even add it to the food." — W.C. Fields"In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude." - Julia ChildI love recreating dishes that bring positive memories and traditions to life. I started Cookpad to keep a better track of all the recipes that I've learnt through the years from friends and family around the world 🌎PS I'm notoriously bad at documenting the exact recipes, tips, and measures. I switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, metric vs imperial measurement system... I mostly end up differing from exact instructions anyway... 🤭 My cooking method: cook, taste, adjust, repeat ☺️🍲
