Gamula
Gamula is a traditional Ukrainian dessert that's usually made in autumn. The dessert is made with a combination of flour, honey, and soft and beaten apples that can't be stored in cellars. The apples are baked in the oven, cooled, and puréed.
The purée is mixed with flour (or flour and oatmeal) and honey. The mixture is then placed in an ovenproof dish and baked in the oven on low heat until a crust forms at the top and the dessert becomes golden brown. Once done, apple gamula is typically served with a cup of tea on the side.
Kyiv Cake (Kyivski tort)
Kyivski tort is a traditional Soviet cake originating from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Instead of common sponge cake, kyivski tort contains a nutty meringue with a crunchy and airy texture, a technique which was created in 1956 at the Karl Marx Confectionery Factory.
Although walnuts were initially used for the meringue, they were later replaced with cashews, and then hazelnuts. The layers of nutty meringue are combined with a sweet vanilla and chocolate buttercream. The cake is usually sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts and left to cool before serving, so that the cream develops a silky, mousse-like texture. Read More...
