The Budapest roll (Swedish: Budapestlängd') is a classic Swedish dessert made with hazelnut-meringue, egg white, whipped cream, dark chocolate, and fruit, typically mandarin oranges or raspberries. It is sometimes served during fika.

It is baked as a roll cake with a hazelnut base where cream and fruit mixture are spread. It is then rolled, drizzled with chocolate, and cut into portions.

The Budapest roll has its own holiday, celebrated annually on May 1st.

History

The Budapest roll was invented around 1969 by Ingvar Strid.[better source needed]

When Vetlanda, the municipality where the inventor was born, reached a population of 27,000, the milestone was celebrated with a 27-meter-long Budapest roll.
