Kiev Cake. Kiev cake is perhaps one of the most well known Slavic cakes. It is made with layers of crunchy hazelnut meringue (made with a little bit of flour) and Russian buttercream (a little different from regular buttercream). The original Kiev cake uses cashews instead of hazel nuts though. This is my mother’s tried and tested recipe.
The jam to use in Kiev cake is anything without chunks of fruit. The best flavors would be peach, apricot, raspberry or plum, as they all add a nice tart flavor. Kiev Cake is light and airy in the center, with a bit of a crunch, sandwiched by soft sponge layers. It’s a true Ukrainian Classic cake.
