European Apple Cake- Sharlotka
This European Apple Cake recipe has been shared with me by a friend of mine, and referred to as “Sharlotka”. The cake is made out of a very rich batter (lots of egg yolks and butter), which makes it so scrumptious.

I prepared this cake several times in the past but was not ready to share it until I figured out an easier way of handling this delicate dough.
The original recipe calls for lekvar as one of the fillings, but since I am not a big fan of lekvar, I tried other flavors of the Solo cake filling instead, including my own apple filling included with this recipe.

Strawberry season is still here, making it easy to prepare a bunch of delicious strawberry desserts.
Today I will share an Eastern European recipe for a very simple, super moist, and very refreshing Strawberry Meringue Sheet Cake.

The Raspberry Torte has been my daughter’s favorite Ukrainian torte for many years now, so I try to make it for her special occasions.
This torte requires some delicate handling of the baked cake layers, since each layer is baked separately, and somewhat challenging to remove from the cake pan, similar to the Irene Torte.

This recipe is very special to me, because every time I make these Nut Horns, I think of the two ladies who shared it with me.
