Swedish Flop Recs/Info Needed

I just did a search regarding Swedish Flop Coffeecake and nothing came up...

I am a HUGE fan of Swedish Flop and lack of info on the internet has prompted me to post about it. Since I am such a huge fan...does anyone know what its origins are? It seems to be quite often assocaited with Chicago bakeries...is it indeed a "Chicago thing"? Any recs of bakeries where you have had good Swedish Flop? I have been to Oak Park bakery and Continental Bakery....I live in the Western burbs but...if have good flop...will travel!!! I tend to like the filling a little on the sweeter side (buttercream?), without fruit and a good crumbly/moist crumb topping.

Any input would be great!

I am such a big fan I even thought at one time of changing my user name to Swedish Flop! I think I did quite a bit of calorie damage during my last pregnancy with Swedish Flop from Jewel ( it was close to the house and I was desperate)! Time to take my search and desired history lesson to a new level!
Thanks!

What pray tell is Swedish flop?

Sauer's Bake Shop in Wheeling is the only place I have ever found Swedish Flop. Mind you, once I had it there I stopped looking. It's fabulous. Though, Wheeling might not be so convenient.

I was wondering the same thing. So I typed Swedish flop into Google, and came up with Uncle Phaedrus website, which looks like it could be pretty cool.

Scroll down. It's the one on the bottom riight.

Sorry to say, but I think Sauers has closed. There was a listing in Sunday's Trib, business section, auctions, for them, which often means they are gone.

Also available (and very delicious) at Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove Village.
