My recipe for Swedish Midsummer Cake with Berries and Cream is the perfect cake to make during the soft fruit season. Light and airy, this is a layer cake that is filled with pillows of whipped Chantilly cream and ripe summer berries, both in the layers and on top of the cake too. Make this cake for any special summer occasion, or "just because", and be sure to serve it with a cuppa.

FROM ISSUE #166 The soil on the Swedish island of Oland, off the mainland's southeastern coast in the Baltic Sea, has special powers. So says my gardener friend Asa Johanson, who lives here. "Anything you plant just explodes!" she exclaims, holding up an intensely green and purple kohlrabi that looks like a starburst, its root boasting a crown of thick leaves that radiate in all directions. It's an early June morning, and we are gathering vegetables for a lunchtime feast to commemorate Midsummer, a national holiday as important to us Swedes as Independence Day is to Americans, though its roots go much further back.
