The cake made of breadcrumbs with jam and candied fruits is a true embodiment of the European tradition of turning simple ingredients into a refined delicacy. Its history traces back to an era when breadcrumbs were the basis of many desserts, while candied fruits and jam added sweet notes. The delicate dough made from almonds and breadcrumbs gains airiness from whipped egg whites, and the alternating light and dark layers create a harmony of flavors. The sweetness of the jam is complemented by the slight bitterness of the candied fruits, while white chocolate adds a noble finishing touch to the cake. This dessert is perfect for both cozy family tea gatherings and festive occasions, captivating guests with its exquisite taste and elegant appearance adorned with fresh berries.
