ostkaka — Hälsingland, Sweden

Ostkaka (a word formed by joining the Swedish words ost, meaning 'cheese,' and kaka, meaning 'cake'), also known as 'Swedish cheese cake' or 'Swedish curd cake,' is a Swedish cake, specialty of Hälsingland and Småland. This recipe also includes a hint of almonds. It is generally consumed warm with various jams, typically from cloudberry, cherry, or strawberry, though lingonberry is often used, as well as fruits, whipped cream, or more rarely, ice cream. Despite what the literal translation might suggest, it should not be confused with cheesecake, which is a layered cake. Swedes generally call the latter by its English name, sometimes also American cheesecake, to avoid any confusion. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1853883) and Wikipedia.
