One of the most amazing cakes is considered to be Medovik. The fact is that this cake remains relevant for a large amount of time. Medovik was created approximately in the XIX century for the Empress. The paradox is that the woman did not like honey. About this subtlety did not have time to tell the royal confectioner.
