Let me introduce you to semla, the Swedish cream bun that people devour in vast numbers around this time every year.
Traditionally, semla is a cardamom-spiced bun, sliced open and filled with almond paste and a ridiculous amount of whipped cream. Originally eaten just before Lent, this treat has become a seasonal staple in Sweden, with bakeries churning them out by the thousands.
But here’s the problem. They’re almost always not vegan.
Enter Dauns Scandi Café, swooping in like a glorious Nordic pastry hero with a vegan semla so good it’ll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about cream buns.
