![Princess cake or princess torte[1][2] (Swedish: prinsesstårta) is a traditional Swedish layer cake or torte consisting of alternating layers of airy sponge cake, pastry cream, and a thick-domed layer of whipped cream. The cake is covered by a layer of rolled marzipan, giving it a smooth, rounded top. The marzipan overlay is usually green, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and often decorated with a pink marzipan rose.[3][4] While the original recipe did not contain any fruit, modern versions usually include layers of jam[4] or fresh fruit, usually raspberries.

!["I'm from Australia, I've got nothing against Israelis; as you know, Australians and Israelis get on like a [Palestinian] house on fire. We both live on illegally occupied land that belongs to other people. Personally, I think Israel should come to Australia, we've got tonnes of room. Fuck yeah, the weather's the same, we've got a right wing government and oppressed indigenous people, I reckon they'll slot right fucking in. We'll call it Israelia. On our passports it will have a kangaroo on one side and the star of David on the other. Now, it'll be called the star of Davo but it'll be fucking brilliant." — Steve Hughes](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:52dutbu55kgqrwncmnflr3wo/bafkreihwmgv4pt6zipyoonpzvvzcmjdcliewidikpwta5axsqgu24vwgzy)
