The 'Carmelita' cake is a true masterpiece of European cuisine, combining the tenderness of oatmeal dough with the richness of chocolate-caramel filling. Its history traces back to traditional recipes that used simple yet rich ingredients to create a harmonious flavor. The crispy base made from oats and flour is perfectly complemented by creamy caramel with chocolate, honey, and nuts, creating a deep, velvety taste with subtle notes of bitter chocolate and sweet caramel. This dessert is ideal for cozy home tea gatherings as well as festive occasions. It is served in portioned pieces, allowing one to enjoy each layer of its texture and aroma.
