Alexandertorte, also known as Alexander Torte or Aleksander Torte, is a Lativian dessert. It consists of pastry strips filled with raspberry preserves.

Etymology

Its name possibly originates from Alexander I, the gourmet Russian tzar who employed Antonin Carême. Finland claims that it was created, allegedly by Swiss pastry chefs in Helsinki in 1818, in anticipation of the tzar's visit there.^{[citation needed]}
