Russian Cake and Frosting
To make cake: Spray pan with PAM. Mix all cake ingredients together and pour into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Cool. To make frosting: Mix all ingredients together and spread over top of cooled cake. Sprinkle with a few more walnuts for garnish. *Serguei said he never had this cake before but he liked it very much. He ate two pieces at our dinner party. Had another piece a hour later at work. And then asked me if I could do him a favor and bring him another piece when I came into work the next day. When I told him there was already another piece waiting downstairs in our kitchen for him and Emil (our other Russian part-time employee) he was so happy he almost fell off his chair. Serguei said he doesn't like most American cakes because they are too sweet. I made this cake again a few weeks later to treat everyone at our Serguei's Last Day Party. He thanked me again and said a cake like this deserved alot of respect. |
