Kyiv Cake: The legendary sweet of Ukraine's capital
There’s nothing sweeter than home, unless you’re a Kyivan — because then you have Kyiv Cake. While many foreigners associate the city with the butter-filled chicken cutlet known as Chicken Kyiv, which is likely of French origin, the layers of nutty meringue and buttercream coated with crushed hazelnuts that make up Kyiv Cake originated in the nation’s capital. The lore surrounding the invention of Kyiv Cake in 1956 is almost as legendary as the factory where it’s made.
