This beloved Kiev Cake is a true gem in any Eastern European family! My husband insists it’s almost as good as his all-time favorite “Muraveinik” (Ant Hill Cake)—and believe me, that's high praise! This cake has been passed down for generations, with families either perfecting their own versions at home or tracking down a special one from a local European bakery, always hoping for that taste of nostalgia. The origins of the Kiev Cake recipe itself are a bit of a mystery, almost like a guarded family secret. For me, it’s full of warm memories of my grandma, who would lovingly bake it for every big family occasion. I’m so thrilled to share it with you; it’s truly a piece of my heart on a plate!
