Cherry Karpatka
Karpatka, also known as Polish Mountain cake, gets its name from the Carpathian Mountains, a 1,500-kilometer range that stretches from the Czech Republic to Romania. Visually dramatic, this dessert is a staple in Polish bakeries, its layers of airy choux pastry giving way to a creamy custard filling. Here, the custard is finished with cream instead of the usual butter and the untraditional addition of a juicy cherry compote delivers a bright hit of fruit flavor amidst the richness, making this a total showstopper.
