Vruchtenap

Vruchtenap, also known as fruit nap, is a popular Dutch dessert consisting of a layer of fruit jam or compote, typically strawberry or raspberry, sandwiched between two thin layers of sponge cake. The sponge cake is usually made with a simple batter of eggs, sugar, and flour, and is baked until light and airy. The fruit layer is spread on top of one cake layer before the second layer is placed on top, creating a symmetrical and visually appealing dessert. Vruchtenap is often dusted with powdered sugar or icing sugar before serving, which adds a touch of sweetness and enhances the overall presentation. This dessert is a classic example of Dutch baking, combining the simplicity of sponge cake with the natural sweetness of fruit. It is commonly enjoyed as a sweet treat, often served with a cup of coffee or tea.
