A small cylindrical almond-and-rum cake topped with a ring of raspberry jam and white icing. Eaten in the weeks around 5 February, the birthday of poet J.L. Runeberg.
The Runeberg torte is tied to Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Finland's national poet, who lived in Porvoo; his wife Fredrika is credited with the recipe. Flavoured with almond, gingerbread crumbs and a dose of rum or arrack, the cake appears in Helsinki bakeries from January until Runeberg Day on 5 February. Porvoo, an easy day trip, is its spiritual home.
