The cake is really fabulous.The thing about this cake that you can experiment by adding new dried or candied fruit or a different type of nuts. I am not much of a baker but this cake is extremely easy to make and it’s always delicious.
I’ve seen similar cakes in the internet with the name “Lady’s Caprice” , “Three Meetings”, “Cleopatra.” Whatever the name, the cake is soooo tasty. A real fairy tale 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour x 3
- 1/2 cup sugar x 3
- 1 tsp baking powder x 3
- 1 egg – x 3
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yoghurt x 3
- 3-4 drops of brandy x 3
Fillers:
- 1/2 cup poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup crushed walnuts
Filling:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup condensed milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease 8.5 inch round springform pan. Bake each layer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
- 1st layer – mix all the ingredients and stir in poppy seeds.
- 2nd layer – mix all the ingredients and stir in raisins.
- 3rd layer – mix all the ingredients and stir in walnuts.
Beat softened butter with condensed milk, set aside.
Place the walnut layer on a cake plate. Evenly spread 1/3 of the filling over. Top with the poppy seed layer and repeat. Finally, top with the raisin layer and cover the top and the sides with the remaining filling.
I “decorated” the top with a mixture of crushed walnuts and cocoa powder. Keep it in the fridge overnight.
The Kat & the Falling Leaves 
Looks delicious! And I think the cat agrees.
The cat is always checking my food out 🙂
hey kat. so obviously i’m not that computer savvy and new to wp.. how do you get your likes below your posts? i’d really appreciate it!!

i should be specific… when you are at your home page and scrolling through posts.
Hey Rachel! I am fairly new to wp too. I find that visiting other blogs and commenting on posts generates more traffic to your blog.
Thank you for the feed back, I meant on the home page so you don’t have to click each time. but as you can see on my blog i figured it out.
Hi Rachel! Yes, it’s not obvious at first glance –
you have to click on the Title of the post,
then you get switched from the page where one post is on a thread after the other and then you have ONLY the one post –
then you will see the “like” button and the comments box.
Hope this helps!
Cheers! Tomas
I think “Cleopatra” is the right name! Yummy!
Thank you 🙂
Is this the Skaska cake??! And you made that? Incredible! I’ve gotten this cake from the Russian market before, but my absolute favorite is the Spartak! I just wrote a whole thing on it, but I’m going to add a link to this too!
Yes, it’s the “Сказка”/ Skaska cake! It’s super easy to make. I’d like the link to Spartak please 🙂
P.S. I also like cake “Kiev” / Киевский торт, but it’s intimidating.
This looks amazing!
Thank you 🙂
