About this dish

The Kyiv cake is a dessert cake produced in Kyiv, Ukraine since 6 December 1956 by the Karl Marx Confectionery Factory, now a subsidiary of the Roshen Confectionery Corporation. The cake has emerged as a symbol of Kyiv, largely due to its brand name and packaging featuring the depiction of a horse chestnut leaf, which was present on the Coat of Arms of Kyiv during the Soviet era. The cake consists of two light layers of meringue with hazelnuts covered in a chocolate glaze, and filled with a buttercream-like filling.
