At about the same time as the Runeberg cake, there is a pregnancy season, but these two seasonal delicacies have a big difference that few people start baking Runeberg cakes at home.

– The Runeberg cake is quite challenging to do it yourself, it requires many steps. Some of our customers even hope that the tarts will be on sale throughout the year, Repo says.

According to Revo, the Runeberg cake is a pearl in Finnish pastry culture.

According to Revo, the lawn recipe for the grass bread has been unchanged for almost 40 years. They have even had the same baker all the time, but now he is already approaching retirement age.

Repo thanks Runebergintortk’s features. It is not sensitive at all, unlike, for example, yeast -cakes where everything affects everything. In summer, when it is warm and humid, there will also be better bread.

Also, Runeberg’s cake does not suffer, even if he did not eat it right away. Repo states that it just gets better as it ages.

– We bake our Runeberg cake from the beginning. For example, the breadcrumbs that come to cake dough are made by itself. First, bake the bread, let it dry into the corpses and then grind the breadcrumbs, Repo says.

In his view, a genuine and real Runeberg cake is moistened with rum.

– History books may talk about punch. I would recommend that the rum cake be eaten and the punch is enjoyed separately with the coffee.

The lawn, together with five other small bakeries, has set up a joint pop -up store for Stockmann in Helsinki.
