Unfortunately, I have never seen my favorite cake in Sweden...
Mont Blanc is a chestnut cream cake which is very popular in Japan. Where it came from is not clear but it seems it originally came from France, but the first Mont Blanc cake sold in Japan was in 1933. So it was quite long time ago.
Mont Blanc is a soft layer of cake with a pillowy mound of chestnut cream, all topped with strands of sweet nutty chestnut puree. It’s creamy, sweet and earthy with a few different textures in each bite.
Oh! I was hoping to get a clue where in Stockholm to find this cake as it was also my favorite when I lived in Japan. That was only after I tried it at a tea party where I was served the cake I used to refused to try because it looked like a mount of spaghetti. Silly me for missing out on so many opportunities! And now that I want it, I can't get it!
