Schmoo torte is a Canadian dessert. Although it is relatively popular and well-known nationwide,[1] it is most famous in Western Canada, especially Manitoba.[2][3][4] It is a torte with layered whipped cream, caramel, and nuts, commonly made using angel food or sponge cake.
History[]
The schmoo torte was first invented by a mother for her son's Bar Mitzvah in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[3] How the schmoo got its name is unknown, however, some claim it comes from the name of the comic book creatures from Al Capp’s Li’l Abner.
