Frequently Asked Questions About Princess cake
What is Princess cake?
Princess cake is a Swedish layer cake called prinsesstårta in Sweden. It traditionally combines sponge cake, pastry cream and whipped cream beneath a smooth, often green, marzipan covering.
What is in Princess cake?
Princess cake usually contains layers of sponge cake, vanilla pastry cream and whipped cream, covered with marzipan. Many Swedish versions also include a thin layer of raspberry jam and a small marzipan rose on top.
Where did Princess cake originate?
Princess cake originated in Sweden. Its Swedish name is prinsesstårta, and the cake became widely known through a Swedish cookbook in the early 20th century; its domed shape and marzipan cover are characteristic.
Why is Princess cake green?
Princess cake is traditionally covered with green marzipan, which gives it its distinctive appearance. The color is a convention rather than a flavor requirement, so bakeries and home cooks sometimes use other colors.
Does Princess cake have raspberry jam?
Often, yes: many Swedish-style Princess cakes have a thin layer of raspberry jam between the sponge and cream. Recipes vary, though, and the cake’s defining features are its creamy layers and marzipan covering.
How is Princess cake different from a regular layer cake?
Princess cake has a domed layer of whipped cream beneath a smooth marzipan shell, unlike most ordinary layer cakes with exposed frosting. Its classic Swedish version also pairs pastry cream with sponge cake, sometimes with raspberry jam.
How should Princess cake be stored?
Keep Princess cake covered in the refrigerator because its pastry cream and whipped cream need to stay chilled. For the best texture, eat it within a few days and avoid leaving slices at room temperature for long.
Can you freeze Princess cake?
Yes, Princess cake can be frozen, but the cream and marzipan may become less smooth after thawing. Wrap slices airtight, thaw them slowly in the refrigerator, and expect some change in texture.
How do you stop marzipan sticking when making Princess cake?
Dust the work surface and rolling pin lightly with icing sugar when rolling marzipan for Princess cake. Use only enough to prevent sticking; too much can dry the covering and make it crack when draped over the cake.
How do you serve Princess cake?
Serve Princess cake chilled so the cream layers hold together when sliced. A sharp, clean knife helps cut through the marzipan neatly; coffee or tea makes a traditional-style accompaniment.

What is Princess cake?
Princess cake is a Swedish layer cake made with sponge, pastry cream and whipped cream, then covered in a thin layer of marzipan. The traditional Swedish version is often green and topped with a small marzipan rose; despite the name, it is a classic celebration cake rather than a separate style of sponge.
Its soft layers and airy cream contrast with the smooth, sweet almond coating. In Sweden it is served at celebrations and in cafés, usually as a slice with coffee; elsewhere, it works just as well for birthdays or an afternoon tea table. It is energy-dense, with most of its richness coming from cream and marzipan, and offers little fibre. A smaller slice alongside unsweetened coffee makes a less-heavy treat.
