Swedish ”mockarutor”

6 februari, 2020

Swedish ”mockarutor” (like mocha squares) – a chocolate-y cake topped with chocolate and coffee frosting and shredded coconut. This is another classic Swedish pastry, just like semlor, kladdkaka and cinnamon buns. ”Mockarutor” is actually one of many names, this pastry is also called ”kärleksmums”, ”snoddas”, and ”chokladrutor”. I guess these names don’t tell you much if you don’t know Swedish, but maybe it’s fun to know anyway. 

As you know, I’m a huge fan of coffee, and when I tell you that this cake-thingy has a frosting that contains coffee, you are not that surprised when I tell you that I really love this pastry, right? The frosting is really what makes this cake special. Coffee is indeed associated with ”fika” and is probably the most common drink to serve with cake and pastries. At least in Scandinavia. But it’s not that common to add the coffee to the pastry, right? I think we should change that. And I have plans on doing so, just stay tuned for more coffee pastries to come, hehe. 

Today I’m sharing the basic recipe for ”mockarutor” so that you can try it for yourselves. Perfect to bake this weekend, is it not? 

Love,
Sofia

      Yes, I think they are quite similar. This is one of my personal favorites when it comes to pastries, I guess it has something to do with the fact that it contains coffee…hehe. I really hope you’ll like them too! 🙂
