Another, this time chocolate, variation of a traditional Polish dessert – Szarlotka (Apple Pie). Chocolate sponge with layers of apple filling, with a hint of cinnamon and raisins, topped up with a layer of chocolate mousse.
This Polish Carpathian Mountain cream cake recipe is known as “Karpatka”.
It’s made with choux type of puff pastry and a very delicate traditional butter & custard cream. Dusted with icing sugar looks like snow-covered Carpathian Mountains. It is sweet, creamy and it melts in your mouth.
