A friend of mine mentioned that in the Chicago area they make delicious Swedish Flop Cakes. Does anyone have a recipe for this kind of cake ?

I don't have a recipe but have tried searching online. The only thing I come up with is Swedish Panckaes. Would Swedish Flop Cake be the same thing or close to it? I am not sure because I have actually never heard of the flop cake before. I'm sorry I wasn't of much help. Perhaps someone on this site has a recipe for the swedish flop cake you are talking about. Here is the link to the swedish panckae recipe from allrecipes.com, just in case.

Hi. The swedish flop cake is so easy to find in Chicago.(even at the jewel!) There are several bakeries in the andersonville and northpark hoods that have them, even Gladstone park bakery. The cake is a simple heavy yellowcake that has strawberries(glazed) in the middle with whipcream and powdered sugar and streusel topping up on it when its done. Jersey-i looked for about 15 minutes and could not find one for ya. I don't think its authentically called "swedish flop" either. Its just like a shortcake but two layers are "flopped together to let the whip ooze out the sides.
