It is a traditional Icelandic layer cake... it is so traditional that they no longer make it in Iceland. It is only found in North America. It is basically 7-12 layers of a giant shortbread like cookie with ground, stewed prunes in between the layers. It contains a lot of butter, sugar and cardamon seed. Just google it. There are a tonne of recipes online.
I am one of the last people in my family (though there are 20+ cousins on my mom's side) who still makes it. It is a lot of work.
