Coffee cake "Lenten"
7 servings
45 minutes
The 'Lenten' coffee pie is a refined dessert born from the traditions of Russian cuisine, where even during fasting days one does not refuse small joys. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the dough with depth and richness, while ground peanuts add softness and a delicate nutty note. Honey provides sweetness without being cloying, and baking soda makes the pie airy and light. It is perfect for tea time, especially when you want to enjoy something cozy and warming. It can be served as a standalone treat or paired with light berry jam. Its uniqueness lies in its simplicity of preparation while offering a richness of flavor nuances. This pie is an excellent choice for those seeking a delicious alternative to traditional baked goods without dairy products and eggs.
