Tender, melting cake
4 servings
60 minutes
The delicate, melting cake is a true wonder of Russian cuisine, combining an airy texture with a rich creamy flavor. The history of such desserts goes back to the traditions of homemade pies where simple ingredients transform into culinary magic. This cake surprises with its unique consistency: three layers—airy mousse, delicate cream, and a dense base—form themselves during baking. The taste is harmonious with a light vanilla note complemented by the sweetness of powdered sugar. It is perfect for cozy family gatherings, festive evenings, or simply enjoying the moment. The main thing is to be patient and let the dessert cool completely to reach its ideal state.
