Best known by its German name, AlexandertorteTemplate:Efn (Template:Langx, aleksanterintorttu, Template:Langx, Aleksandra torte) is a cake that consists of pastry strips filled with raspberry preserves or raspberry jam.
It is traditionally eaten as a dessert after lunch or dinner, but it can also be served at tea time. It should be made a day or so before it is planned to serve, because the icing must be hard before the cake is cut.[1]
A similar dessert exists in Denmark and is known as hindbærsnitte.[2] In German speaking Europe, the Alexandertorte is made with almonds and wineberries.[3]
Origin
According to Finnish tradition, the dessert has been made since 1818 in memory of Alexander I, the first Russian Emperor to rule Finland.[4]
According to Latvian tradition, it was conceived to commemorate a visit of Tsar Alexander III (1881–1894) to Riga,[5] today capital of Latvia.
