Oscar II - a king and a cake

King Oscar II, King of Sweden
Also King of Norway till 1905.
As my mother tells it, the King was extremely upset
the Norwegians did not want him as their king, and died
two years after Norway had regained its independence.



The cake named "Oscar II's taarta / tårta" -
a glutenfree cake I made the other day.
I used strawberries, but often it is just covered with
the almondflakes.
Most recipes talk about making almonds into
almondflour yourself. I used the expensive
alternative of using readymade almondflour,
bought in a healthfood shop.

Here is one recipe out on the internet, in English
