Check out Food52's new series Recipe Drop, where one of our Test Kitchen experts walks us through a brand-new recipe they developed just for Food52. Tune in for exclusive original recipes, from buttery pastries to showstopping roasts.

"This classic Swedish Midsummer cake is filled with homemade vanilla pastry cream and strawberry jam, and decorated with whipped cream, fresh berries, and mint. . . For this recipe, I use a 3-cup method which makes the cake even more straightforward and achievable. Instead of using measuring cups to measure the ingredients out, all you have to do is start with 5 eggs in a tall clear glass, then add the flour and sugar in two identical glasses so they line up to the same height. The cake’s components can also be made in advance for you to easily assemble at the last minute." - Nea
