Three types of sponge cake layered with pastry cream, raisins, walnuts, and rum, then topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Pure indulgence!

A soft shortcrust base topped with sweetened farmer’s cheese and a layer of meringue. Light yet rich — often baked in slices.

Soft dumplings made from sweetened cottage cheese, boiled, then rolled in buttery toasted breadcrumbs and served with sour cream and powdered sugar.
