What is Garash Cake?

Garash cake is a special kind of cake that is very popular in Bulgarian cuisine. It's a fancy dessert, often served at celebrations or as a treat. The cake gets its unique taste from walnuts and a creamy chocolate frosting.

How is Garash Cake Made?

Making a Garash cake involves several steps to create its distinct layers and rich flavor.

  • First, thin, round cake layers are baked. These layers are made from a special mixture. It includes ground walnuts, egg whites, and sugar.
  • Usually, five of these thin layers are baked. Each one is about 2 millimeters thick.
  • After the layers cool down, they are stacked one on top of the other.
  • Between each layer, and all over the top and sides of the cake, a rich frosting is spread. This frosting is called Ganache. It's made from sweet cream and chocolate.
  • Finally, the entire cake is covered with a smooth, shiny chocolate icing. This gives it a beautiful finish and adds to its chocolatey taste.
