In Sweden it is common to bake cakes and buns with saffron between the first Sunday of advent and Christmas. The cakes and buns are served as Swedish fika often together with coffee or tea. This is traditional chocolate balls but made with saffron instead.
This homemade soft marble cake has the flavor of vanilla and chocolate. In Swedish this cake is called "Tigerkaka" which means Tiger cake because the stripes resemble the ones on a tiger. To get the nice marble pattern is the tricky part. The easiest way to make them is to gently stir a fork in the batter right before you place the cake in the oven.
The baked potatoes have a soft inside with a crispy skin on the outside. There are two ways of cooking a baked potato either as it is or with aluminum around them in the oven. In this recipe we chosen to enhance the flavor with a typical Swedish shrimp sauce.
