If you love Tortes but have been looking for a lighter filling, rather than the traditional buttercream, this is a great recipe for you. The cake layers are fragile, filling mostly apples, with a nice caramel glaze.
Ukrainians pride themselves on baking the best tortes, and Walnut Torte is one of the most traditional
Torte preparation requires time and patience, but as with any other recipe made from scratch, it is a labor of love and well worth the effort.
This torte recipe was passed on to our family by our cousin Ira (Eera), from Ukraine, hence the name “Torte Ira”.
