Pancake cake with custard is a delicate treat that embodies the best traditions of Russian cuisine. Its roots trace back to the history of making pancakes, which were symbols of the sun and celebration. Airy pancakes soaked in fragrant custard with vanilla notes create an exquisite combination of textures: the softness of the dough and the velvety sweetness of the cream. This dessert is perfect for cozy family tea times and festive occasions. The slight tanginess of kefir gives the dough a subtle piquancy, while custard with natural vanilla adds refined sweetness. The pancake cake is not just a treat but a true symbol of home warmth that delights with its taste and tenderness.
