Smörgåstårta ("sandwich-cake" or "sandwich-torte") is a savory dish of Swedish origin popular in Sweden, Estonia (called võileivatort), Finland (called voileipäkakku and smörgåstårta) and Iceland (called brauðterta [ˈprœyːðˌtʰɛr̥ta]). It is not a sweet cake, but composed of layers of bread bound with large amounts of filling and garnish, similar to a layered cream cake. The smörgåstårta is sliced and served like any other cake.
