A wrapper cake is the perfect treat for the race grandstand.
In this cake, the ingredients are simply mixed together, no electric mixer is needed. Anna Jaatinen
Käärijä, seen in the Eurovision finals, has inspired Finns to develop various contest delicacies suitable for the theme. This was also done by a custom bakery entrepreneur and a contestant on the Mestarileipurit television show Anna Jaatinenwhose development Käärijäkakku has garnered praise on social media.
Jaatinen calls the cake Jokamaunkaku, which, in the spirit of the Cha Cha Cha song, gets its flavor from the pineapple and coconut from the Piña colada cocktail.
– Last year I missed an easy and good banana cake recipe and ended up using my own muffin recipe. The banana cake turned out really well and within a week I had also tested the recipe in the blueberry-lemon and Da Capo bar flavors. Cakes sprung up like mushrooms in the rain, always with different flavors and at some point I ended up naming the cake Jokamaunkakku. You can modify the recipe in many different ways.
The secret of the cake is its simplicity, all the ingredients are just mixed and the cake is put in the oven.
– The cake itself is wonderfully succulent, and the frosting, which tastes gently like coconut, crowns the whole thing. The cake will keep in the fridge for a few days, so it can be prepared well in advance. Instead of a cake, you can also make muffins with the recipe, so it’s also very versatile, advises Jaatinen.
The bakery entrepreneur says that this year’s madness took him in a completely different way than in previous years.
– I already have other green baking ideas in my head.
