According to legend, the Kiev cake owes its appearance to pure chance. Allegedly, one of the employees of the Kiev confectionery factory named after Karl Marx forgot to put the egg whites for the sponge cake in the refrigerator, and the next morning the head of the shop decided to save the careless colleagues: he made cakes from the egg whites and layered them with butter cream. After some time, this creation turned into the Kiev cake.

Classic Chicken Kiev. One of those stories about primogeniture, the debate about which will never cease. One of the dishes accepted into international gastronomic practice. Not as widespread as beef stroganoff, of course, but widespread enough to be recognized at least by the edge of international memory. And, of course, the main hit of all Soviet restaurants and a-la russe establishments around the world. If desired, the classic can be slightly adjusted by making breading from Japanese panko breadcrumbs and butter for the filling using the method of sauce for Burgundy snails.

According to William Pokhlebkin, the dish that eventually transformed into the Kiev cutlet first appeared in the St. Petersburg Merchants' Club under the name Novo-Mikhailovsky cutlets (in honor of the nearby Mikhailovsky Palace). But it became a hit at restaurant feasts in Soviet times, thanks to the chefs from Intourist. Pokhlebkin writes that for foreigners accustomed to using not only a fork but also a knife, Kiev cutlets were a cruel test. The thing is that when they tried to cut the cutlet, it suddenly shot out a stream of oil, splashing their jackets. It got to the point that foreign guests began to be provided with special instructions regulating the handling of the insidious cutlets.
