The Swedish Pear Cake Recipe We Can’t Resist!

Get ready to experience a cake that’s like a warm, soul-soothing hug! The Swedish Pear Cake has secured its spot as one of our all-time favorites, and there’s no mystery why. The key ingredients, apart from the cakey goodness, are ripe pears and a hint of cinnamon (although cardamom works its magic too). While there’s a touch of sugar in the mix, this cake strikes a delightful balance, never veering into overly sweet territory. It’s the ultimate companion for a cozy day at home and pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee.

Our love affair with this cake began during our time in Copenhagen, where the beloved tradition of afternoon coffee and cake, known as “Fika” in Sweden, quickly became an integral part of our daily lives. Whether it’s for a Fika break, a delightful brunch with family, or a birthday celebration, this cake is bound to be a favorite. We’ve included the recipe for you below, we hope you enjoy!
