Kyivskyi tort (Kyiv Cake)
This popular cake from Ukraine consists of stacked layers of meringue, buttercream, and chopped hazelnuts, and is known for its delicate texture and rich flavour. Served up for special occasions, it’s a tasty party treat that will impress your guests.
It can take hours or even a full day to make this cake, as the different elements need time to bake and cool completely. It’s a labour of love, and your Eurovision party is worth it.
