8 servings

60 minutes

Pischinger wafer cake is a refined dessert originating from Austrian cuisine. It consists of thin wafer layers generously soaked in delicate chocolate cream, condensed milk, and fruit jam, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and textures. Walnuts add a subtle crunch, while chocolate deepens the flavor. This cake is a popular treat for festive occasions and cozy family gatherings. It's convenient to prepare in advance as it becomes even tastier after cooling. Legend has it that the recipe was inspired by Viennese pastry traditions that aimed for perfection in combining simplicity and elegance.
