Best known by its German name, Alexandertorte (, aleksanterintorttu, , Aleksandra torte) is a cake that consists of pastry strips filled with raspberry preserves or raspberry jam.
It is traditionally eaten as a dessert after lunch or dinner, but it can also be served at tea time. It should be made a day or so before it is planned to serve, because the icing must be hard before the cake is cut.
