Damn, now I really want some smörgåstårta. A bit of a tip: we usually make the layers of bread alot thinner, that way the fillings soak through the bread and it gets really juicy and yummy!
oh hi Yo, please please do a collab with the boys! :D you can make a fridge shaped cake with four little guys standing in front of it (or inside, really, your choice)

As a Swede I say: MUCH too thick bread slices. More layers of goodness needed! Your decorations were quite on point though, but you should cover your cake much more - the glue of choice that sticks the good stuff onto the cake shouldn't be seen at all. Also, everyone makes it their own style. My mum's got a dill chili shrimp/mayo layer, a ham/canned fruit layer, and a liver pate /relish layer. Garnish with shrimp, salmon, cucumber, tomatoes, salad and lemon slices. Many people use roast beef and peas - I think it's rather disgusting though.
Im from Sweden and this is my absolute favorite food off all time. If you havent tried it you are missing something and as the lads say you can make it however you want it. In Sweden you can have it like a greek, Italian, American or pretty much whatever style you want. My personal favorite is with shrimps, gooda cheese and ham amd it is fabulous.
I love smörgåstårta/sandwichcake, so freaking good. It has been said befor but it can be said again, the bread layers were to thick. They should be thinner so it really can soak up the yummy stuff from the filling. Also a tip, sandwichcakes are always tastier the day after they were made, because then the bread has had time to really suck up flavours from the filling. Most people do the cake the day before the day of eating it.
No matter how you make it, it's delicious. Just remember to refrigerate it over night before decorating. And never forget the horseradish in the filling.
Ben, this cake has to much bred in it. thinner bred for more layers. And never had one with cream cheese, we usually use a mix of mayo and sourcream. At least that is how it is done in my family and the ones we buy in the supermarkets.
Good job! It looks amazing! I work part time at a bakery where Im not baking the bread but making sandwiches and these kinds of sandwich cakes to be sold in local supermarkets. You guys did a really fancy one! The ones we do have two kinds of fillings, one made with whipped cream, hard boiled eggs and caviar, and one made with mayo, ham, pickles and mustard. The garnishing is very simple; cucumbers all around the sides, then lettuce around the edges on top, wedges of eggs, rolls of cheese and ham, tomato wedges and then either shrimps or roast beaf, topped with cucumber and lemon. These are the standard ones but we also make a fancier one to a special shop and it looks more like the one you made! We use frozen dill or parsley to coat the sides as it actually sticks better than fresh one does.
I was looking for comments like "That's not how you do a real sandwich cake" but I could not find that many of those. Two things I noticed though was first of all that the bread was cut pretty thick, wich is not usually how it's made(And the bread are traditionally just wheat bread). Second thing is that(From *my* experience): The most common frosting is just whipped cream, or together with mayonnaise! Cheers!
One of the most loved celebration cake here in Sweden. My fav is with thinly sliced roast beef, mustard and pickles. The one in this video also looks amazing.
There's something similar in Québec (Canada). It's called "Pain sandwich" (litterally Sandwich bread) and it's served during Christmas time. Usually, there's a layer of egg salad, one of ham salad and one of chicken salad. it's covered in cream cheese and decorated with vegetables.
A lot of Swedish people here saying this isn't very accurate or isn't even "how you do it"... honestly, it looks amazing. And I like this version as well. Why not? You guys take a recipe and make it your own, so go ahead! As a Swede, this looks gorgeous. THis kind of cake isn't my thing.. it's SO heavy with all the mayo and what not XD. But yes, in Sweden we use thinner bread and we top it off a lot with salmon, shrimp, egg, dill etc. But love how you did it! Awsome job and I look forward to see more food as usual!
2:05 - "Make sure that loaf of bread is unsliced. You will encounter problems if it's a sliced loaf of bread." No, that's exactly what they're getting wrong. Just buy sliced bread, cut off the crust of each slice, and use several slices for each layer. They should have done this themselves, because they ended up with layers of bead that are twice as thick as they should be.
What a lövely gift to häve a Swedish recipe uplåded on my birthday! Seriously though, seeing food that is so standard and, to some degree, boring to me being cooked by "foreigners" with so much passion really shines a new light on it and lets me see everything that's unique and amazing about our cuisine. Please continue showcasing food from less "popular" countries, it's always an eye-opener!
The fillings sounded lovely, but a tip is to slice the bread thinner or it will be very dry, thinner slices will help the fillings make the bread juicer. Often you do a smörgåstårta the day or night before and then put it in the fridge so that the bread has a chance to get juicy (soggy sounds so negative). Best bit :)
At first, I was not about this at all... But upon viewing, I think this is actually something I'll try. As a pescatarian, I can get on board! I would probably add lemon juice to the cream cheese bit, and replace the celery with chopped asparagus and artichoke hearts... Probably toast the bread before layering too.
@@luigicadorna8644 I'd say it kinda depends on the type and amount of the filling you use. I think these guys were a bit more generous with the "frosting". And this isn't the way it's more typically presented, at least not in my experience. What I am used to have the top layer exposed, e.g. no bread and "frosting" on top as the Sorted guys are doing in this vid to make it look more like a "real" cake. 😁
@@luigicadorna8644 oh, i forgot, i don't remember if they got lemon in the video but that is something we serve with it to cut through the richness and it tastes good with shrimp and salmon etc! 😊
Gotta say it's awesome to see you made this, I had one at my graduation party here in Finland and it was amazing (I prefer the not-so-fishy kind though, with ham etc.)
I worked with making sandwich cakes, they come in other flavours too. We used presliced white bread, remove the crust and then make the cake square by overlapping the bread with each layer . We used to make 3 layers and also store it over night to become most before we fully frosted it and decorated. Frosting we used cream cheese, mayo and some whipped cream. My favourite is Club sandwich and the full hog.
As a Swede I must say that this was a very unconventional take on the classic swedish party dish, much like their take on swedish meatballs back in 2012. For all the non-Swedes: Sandwich cakes are still a massive thing here in Sweden, although not as popular as back in the days when every housewife did her own version. Still every bakery, restaurant and supermarket has their own take on the dish and there are lots of modern varieties, such as vegetarian, roastbeef, mediterranean and ham & cheese. My mother does a killer sandwish cake with tuna, eggs and lots of vegetables. I've never heard of anyone using cream cheese. It's usually mayo or a mixture of mayo and sour cream. There is also a hot, oven baked, version with egg and dill mayo, bacon sauce and with tomato and cheese on top.
I've eaten smörgåstårta with cream cheese but it was not nearly as much in that cake as in this cake. I've also tried with cream, not good not good at all
+Erica Erixon Aha, interesting! How did it taste with cream cheese on? Yeah, cream sounds a bit nasty. I know that some use a mixture of cream and mayo also, and that tastes alright since it's a very small amount of cream.
Cream cheese goes deliciously well with salmon. If you don't want to try it on a cake then I recommend you to try it in an other dish It wasn't a small amount of cream :< the worst part was that it was all we had to eat that day
Hell yes! Usually you are supposed to leave the sandwich cake to rest, often over night. To rest the flavors and make it a bit "soggy", in a good way! Great recipe
As a Swede: This is a "Smörgåstårta" (Sandwich cake). It is quite common to have those at different occasions/parties when you want to feed people at a party, but it is not necessarily in place to make them diner. They are usually served around lunch or in the afternoon. This one, though it has all the very traditional flavours, seems much more tasty than the ones you ate likely to encounter if you get one in Sweden.
Do you know another great Swedish things the boys would love? Surströmming. Absolutely amazing stuff, grew up with it in the harsh north. Ben, you should absolutely feed it to them sometime. I'm not going to spoil the taste but on an unrelated note, it's been a while since the last revenge food video... Have any plans for one? Just asking. No reason. (oh and make sure to not spill any on the floor, it'll take a few weeks to get the smell out.)
I'm a music nerd, and I'm actually pretty happy you guys used "Gimme That Swing" by Cissie Redgwick during this video. Good on you. Keep up the awesome work, guys.
+justabit ... Sir/Miss.. I'm talking about my own experience. Of all the the people in Sweden i have met, almost 85% of 100% of them LOOOVES it. You might be the one that should think twice before you you judge about conclusions. Have a good day, and God bless you.
As a kid in Sweden I used to hate this. I just wanted to eat the kladdkaka and didn't get why a cake should have seafood on it. Now I love it! Great job you guys
As a Swede, I both love and hate Sandwichcake. A Sandwichcake can be amazing and delicious if done right - it can also be HORRID if done badly... I am not usually one to frown upon food but a bad sandwich cake is just so disgusting! Fortunately, you guys seem to have got it right! Just the right amount of combinated ingredients, beautuful bread and lovely toppings! Good job. This made my mouth water and I now really want Sandwichcake ^_^
I love sandwich cakes. not fish ones though, but with ham spread. And I use sliced bread and cut the crust and assemble the squares to form layers of rectangles, like you would a biscuit cake (you do eat that in US/UK right?). and then it really really has to sit under a slight pressure (e.g. plate) in fridge overnight so that the bread would absorb all the yumminess and not be that dry. oh and sometimes i alter white bread layers with whole wheat bread layers for extra texture.
I love the way Ben says a Pinch of salt and then goes ahead and puts a handful in if you're going to use those kind of measurements at lest do it accurately, geez guys 😂
Sandwich cakes are so good, it can be made in so many ways! The one my mother makes (since I can't cook) will always be my favorite though, I'm gonna try and describe it! cause why not? Start of the bread is a Swedish flatbread called Hönö, it's light and sweet. The filling is a tuna and sour cream mix with some other stuff I don't remember. The "frosting" is liver pate mixed with cream and top it of with ham, meatballs, shrimp, boiled eggs and a tomato cut like a rose and some dill.
I usually do smörgåstårta to easter, you can do it with a lot of variations, but i always have creme fraiche, whipped cream and a little majonaise in the layers. It is nice to have some dill, salmon, shrimps in the filling. You can also have a meat-version with ham, liver paste, reindeersteake and so on. It is also nice to make it with only veggies, eggs and cheese.
Yesssss. Honestly, I cannot understand people who do not think that looks amazing. Having not-Swedish friends, they look at the glory of a smörgåstårta and think that's disgusting, and I can't see WHY. It's just a prettified, cake-sized sandwich, guys! Why act like it's somehow blasphemy? (And yes. We do sell them ready-made in shops, too. But this one looks nicer.) Also, you can make it with pre-sliced bread, but then put lots of slices together and build the layers that way. Totally doable. I know because I've done it.
I can't stand watching Ben throw things at the sides of cake anymore lol...if you cover the sides in icing and not the top of the cake, you can roll the sides of the cake in whatever you want and then do the icing on the top after!
I honestly want to try this. Looks delicious minus all the extra cream cheese on the outside. Im glad to see more savory things again as opposed to all the deserts.
Wow, Funny thing, we also have sandwich cake in Brazil, I hate, but it is very popular in birthdays parties. Not the same ingredients at all, but just as weird, and I thought we were the only one's weird. :D
One twist is to make a cake with sauce bolognese and shredded cheese in one layer, and a thick ham-cheese-sour cream and shredded cheese as a second. Top it with one of the two sauces, sliced tomatoes, olives, basil leaves and some more shredded cheese. Bake it in the oven until warm and golden. You can use pre sliced bread. Just cut the edges off and put it together with no edges above any other.

i´ve never tried that combo in a smörgåstårta before but it looks realy delicious! it´s also realy good with a tuna mix in the layers and with smoked salmon and prawns on top of the smörgåstårta! Smörgåstårta is the best food ever!
Smörgåstårta, Sandwich cake is the best! You can vary it so much, my favourite is with ham and bell pepper filling and a layer with pickles and other stuff. :) In our family we usually make a rectangular shaped cake, not a round one, and then we wet the sandwich layers with some milk, so that the cake is not so dry when you're eating it. :)
+One Kitchen - A Thousand Ideas haha, the preview of your comment only showed until 'I've eaten it', so I thought: "This gotta be Jutland thing, it sounds so Jutlandish (Hvordan siger man jysk på engelsk?)
Belethe Nej vi plejer at mikse creme fraiche og mayo sammen.. men det er også fordi det er lavet med tun. Her giver det god mening at bruge flødeost sammen med laks :-D
Smörgåstårta is just about the best f-ing thing in the world😍😍 though I usually make it with one layer créme fraiche and finely chopped ham, one layer with finely chopped bell peppers and cream cheese, one layer of finely chopped pickles and liver paté mixed with a little mayo, and then the "cream" is mayo mixed with créme fraiche, then you garnish with a ton of shrimp, cucumber, sliced eggs and some dill. SO good!
Well done, boys! As a card carrying Swede, I'm happy to tell you that you did a great job with one of our strangest culinary national treasures (apart from the fermented herring, of course). In Sweden, you can actually buy loaves that are pre-sliced length-wise, just for the purpose of making smörgåstårta (sandwich cake). And, Jamie, there are versions of smörgåstårta with roast beef and other cold cuts. ^_^
+straight quavers avacado, sourcream, red onion and some lemon in one of the layers and then the other layer you could do a hummus with chick peas, lemon, parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper. I think that would be amazing!
Preferably the cake should actually sit a bit in the fridge so that the creamy layers sink in to the bread a bit more. Also, that was far too thick pieces of bread for a sandwich cake (smörgåstårta). But all in all very fun to see a Swedish recipe!
Once had a meat cake. Meat loaf with mashed potato frosting, decorated with steamed peas and carrots. Kind of like a fancy shepherds pie. This Swedish delight is definitely on my to do list!
Damn, now I really want some smörgåstårta. A bit of a tip: we usually make the layers of bread alot thinner, that way the fillings soak through the bread and it gets really juicy and yummy!
+ddreamcatcher2 i agree..the one Ben made look so thick.
+ddreamcatcher2 This.
this looks like a typical american cake. thick and dry layers. thankfully the real deal is made with those thin layers😁
ddreamcatcher2 Yes, I was thinking the same 😊
Yea! And id make it with a lot of majo, lemon and caned tuna! :D
What?! I was expecting a cake that looked like a sandwich. This is totally amazing!
+How To Cake It Can you please do a collab with Sorted?
We only need to head your way for that... :D
Also I agree, if you ever get the chance you should do a collab with Sorted Food
Id like to see Yo and Barry converse. I think the world is waiting for that to happen at some point.

if you did this with bread slices and cut little circles. It would make perfect Cannapais or lunch party meals

In Argentina, a cake is called a torta. In Mexico, a sandwich is called a torta. (You can imagine the confusion.) This is perfect!
In Sweden a cake is called a tårta , so this in swedish is a smörgåstårta .
I'm swedish and I do not approve of this smörgåstårta. Way too much bread and not enough filling in a bread:filling ratio. :(
How do the Swedes handle that much cream cheese and mayonnaise? The “frosting” just looks so gross to me.

The "frosting" is liver pate mixed with cream and top it of with ham, meatballs, shrimp, boiled eggs and a tomato cut like a rose and some dill.
Any more scenes like that with Barry and James, I'm going to write a fanfiction about them. (Hmm, what should their couple name be?)
Barmes.

I usually do smörgåstårta to easter, you can do it with a lot of variations, but i always have creme fraiche, whipped cream and a little majonaise in the layers. It is nice to have some dill, salmon, shrimps in the filling. You can also have a meat-version with ham, liver paste, reindeersteake and so on. It is also nice to make it with only veggies, eggs and cheese.
the bread-layers should be much thinner! its all about the filling
A cake with more filling? Sounds like a good idea to us! 👌
:D
Well I would say more layers but thinner bread
sure
And you could use like toast bread (sliced) cut off the crusts and then put three on a row a layer of prawns and mayo layer of bread etc
This would fit right in with any cookbook from the 1950's. It would be somewhere between the Ham and Banana Hollandaise and the Tuna and Jell-o Pie.
Anne Margaret Almirall Google this word. Smörgåstårta and look at a proper 1.
You really got into the 70's dinner party theme, didn't you? ☺
Typical 70s in Sweden, meanwhile the rest of the world is still going: Sandwich cake? What do you mean?"
Yesssss. Honestly, I cannot understand people who do not think that looks amazing. Having not-Swedish friends, they look at the glory of a smörgåstårta and think that's disgusting, and I can't see WHY. It's just a prettified, cake-sized sandwich, guys! Why act like it's somehow blasphemy? (And yes. We do sell them ready-made in shops, too. But this one looks nicer.)
Also, you can make it with pre-sliced bread, but then put lots of slices together and build the layers that way. Totally doable. I know because I've done it.
I can't stand watching Ben throw things at the sides of cake anymore lol...if you cover the sides in icing and not the top of the cake, you can roll the sides of the cake in whatever you want and then do the icing on the top after!
I honestly want to try this. Looks delicious minus all the extra cream cheese on the outside. Im glad to see more savory things again as opposed to all the deserts.
An "anything but seafood cake" would be my favorite. Lol in my opinion
hahaha just what I thought!
Wow, Funny thing, we also have sandwich cake in Brazil, I hate, but it is very popular in birthdays parties. Not the same ingredients at all, but just as weird, and I thought we were the only one's weird. :D
It is a bit weird but I'm definitely willing to try that, especially since there's shrimp and salmon in the mix ^_^
if you do make it please just make the bread thinner as in essence its just there to support the rest
One twist is to make a cake with sauce bolognese and shredded cheese in one layer, and a thick ham-cheese-sour cream and shredded cheese as a second. Top it with one of the two sauces, sliced tomatoes, olives, basil leaves and some more shredded cheese. Bake it in the oven until warm and golden.
You can use pre sliced bread. Just cut the edges off and put it together with no edges above any other.

How do people not find their way out of IKEA? There's like maps every ten meters and freaking arrows on the floor leading you to the exit.
i´ve never tried that combo in a smörgåstårta before but it looks realy delicious! it´s also realy good with a tuna mix in the layers and with smoked salmon and prawns on top of the smörgåstårta! Smörgåstårta is the best food ever!
When correcting Barry, James still managed to get it wrong... Comment The Of Week. Good one James, good one😅
Smörgåstårta, Sandwich cake is the best! You can vary it so much, my favourite is with ham and bell pepper filling and a layer with pickles and other stuff. :) In our family we usually make a rectangular shaped cake, not a round one, and then we wet the sandwich layers with some milk, so that the cake is not so dry when you're eating it. :)
I have made one using tuna, soooo delicious :-D It is a very normal "cake" to serve here in Denmark :-D yummy
It is? I've lived here all my life, and I can't remember ever seeing a sandwich cake...
Belethe Yes it is. I have eaten it like 10 times in Jutland :-)
+One Kitchen - A Thousand Ideas haha, the preview of your comment only showed until 'I've eaten it', so I thought: "This gotta be Jutland thing, it sounds so Jutlandish (Hvordan siger man jysk på engelsk?)
Belethe Haha :-D No idea! Let's stick to the "jutlandish"
Belethe Nej vi plejer at mikse creme fraiche og mayo sammen.. men det er også fordi det er lavet med tun. Her giver det god mening at bruge flødeost sammen med laks :-D
Smörgåstårta is just about the best f-ing thing in the world😍😍 though I usually make it with one layer créme fraiche and finely chopped ham, one layer with finely chopped bell peppers and cream cheese, one layer of finely chopped pickles and liver paté mixed with a little mayo, and then the "cream" is mayo mixed with créme fraiche, then you garnish with a ton of shrimp, cucumber, sliced eggs and some dill. SO good!
Bens slicing is oh so very straight looks more diagonal to me😂
smörgåstårta (sandwich cake) is the best summer food ever, its amazing!!!! :D:D
Colab with Ro Pansino!!!
Miranda H they did
The level of Ben's "im so done with Jamie" during the first minute is way over the 9000 max limit and it actually broke the scale. :DDD
There's a thing called sushi cake. I dare you guys to make it
I'm from sweden and sandwich cake is one of the top 3 best things in life, not even exaggerating 😍😍
Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich cake!
Well done, boys! As a card carrying Swede, I'm happy to tell you that you did a great job with one of our strangest culinary national treasures (apart from the fermented herring, of course).
In Sweden, you can actually buy loaves that are pre-sliced length-wise, just for the purpose of making smörgåstårta (sandwich cake). And, Jamie, there are versions of smörgåstårta with roast beef and other cold cuts. ^_^
sushi cake?
You can use leverpastje layer (nordic liver paste), ham & mayo layer. Meatball and redbeet mayo layer.
The best part - "If you don't feel like cooking, peeling and cleaning your prawns, buy them - we did" - true dat!
I don't fancy the idea of meat or fish in this, but a vegetarian one would be great :D any ideas for fillings?
+straight quavers Roasted vegetables.
Masticated Cake oooh yeah :D
+straight quavers avacado, sourcream, red onion and some lemon in one of the layers and then the other layer you could do a hummus with chick peas, lemon, parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper. I think that would be amazing!
Ajla Sandström not so keen on avocado, but definitely the hummus :)
mushrooms and hazelnut layer, reed beets and vegan goat cheese layer , tofu and nori layer (for the seadfood layers), lima beens and apples.
Preferably the cake should actually sit a bit in the fridge so that the creamy layers sink in to the bread a bit more. Also, that was far too thick pieces of bread for a sandwich cake (smörgåstårta). But all in all very fun to see a Swedish recipe!
Sweden beats every other country errday
THANK YOU! I have been waiting sooo long for a swedish recipe!
Ibrahimovic is one of the best thing that came out of Sweden !
+Shog AL Mas no
no
Once had a meat cake. Meat loaf with mashed potato frosting, decorated with steamed peas and carrots. Kind of like a fancy shepherds pie. This Swedish delight is definitely on my to do list!
Yeah the sauna cliché is finnish. Not swedish. Oy -.-
Well Finland was part of Sweden.....

Barry's little "byyyyee" at the end was diabetes-inducingly adorable.
4:40 to skip the fucking bullshit-talk with James.
+Corvus No you can't, if you do you'll miss James.
+Corvus can u people please stop this
+Corvus How dare you insult our beloved Scottish interlude!?! It just wouldn't be the same without it!
***** well toOoOoOoOo bad
Remember to do the layering the day before you decorate it and store in slightly wett cloth in the cooler. It makes it even more yummy.
COTW not CTW and not CTOW
The sarcastic "Yeah do" from Barry at the end of the video really sums him up :P
