Hello to all fellow Golden Girls fans out there!
I recently wrote a post about the Scandinavian friendship cake Rose once mentioned in one of the episodes: Vanskapkaka.

You can find the original recipe for Vanskapkaka as well as my own version in the post! I also posted some screen shots from the show. I hope you like it!

Hey! Unlike many other "Scandinavian" words, that Rose used, which just sounded very much Scandinavian to the ignorant American public, this one is actually correct. "Vänskapskaka" really means "friendship cake" in Swedish! You must remember the dots above the first "A" though. "Ä" is actually a letter in its own right in our alphabet.
