Smörgåstårta is a showstopping Swedish savory sandwich cake layered with hummus, avocado, and crisp veggies. This easy vegan version comes together in just 20 minutes with no baking required.
In a small bowl, mix the classic hummus with a few drops of lemon juice, the finely chopped yellow bell pepper, ½ tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp turmeric powder. Stir until well incorporated.
In another bowl, mix together the beetroot hummus and finely chopped pickled cucumber, with salt and pepper to taste, until well incorporated.
In a third bowl, mash the avocados and stir in the garlic powder, plus salt and pepper to taste.
Lay 4 slices of bread in a single layer on a serving plate.
Spread 1 Tbsp vegan mayo over the bread, then spread the turmeric hummus mix evenly on top. Cover with another 4 slices of bread, spread another Tbsp of mayo, and top with the beetroot hummus mix.
Add another layer of 4 bread slices, spreading with one more Tbsp of mayo, then a layer of sliced cucumber and the cashew cream cheese.
Lay on the remaining bread slices and cover the whole cake with the avocado paste on all sides. Finish with a splash of lemon juice and decorate with your favorite greens, seeds, and nuts.
Notes
Assemble and serve the same day for the freshest texture, or chill covered in the fridge for up to a few hours before serving. Decorate with greens, seeds, and nuts just before bringing it to the table so the toppings stay crisp.
