Alexandertorte

Alexandertorte

Alexandertorte, also known as Alexander Torte or Aleksander Torte, is a Latvian dessert. It consists of pastry strips filled with raspberry preserves.

Etymology

Its name possibly originates from Alexander I, the gourmet Russian tsar who employed Antonin Carême. Finland claims that it was created, allegedly by Swiss pastry chefs in Helsinki in 1818, in anticipation of the tsar's visit there.Fact|date=January 2007
