My Mum used to make something quite similar it was called a Mikado known as a Russian wedding cake. I used to get excited as a kid when mum was going to bake the pastry layer there was 28 layers dinner plate size and 20 layer side plate.tht would sit in an air tight container for several days, I remember loads of butter being whipped with castor and icing sugar and cognac, spreading was a bit of a nightmare but worth it. When both down, she’d cover in crumb, but then they would be very well wrapped in glad wrap the frozen for a minute of three months and upto no more than six months. It was the freezing that made it all kind of gell together it was the most delicious and the richest cake ever, my great grandee gave Mum the recipe back in late ’60s and Mum handed it to me in the early ’80’s sad to to I’ve only made it twice. This is True Russian traditional cake. This was handed down to the bride and oldest daughter for generations and that’s my Russian side of family. Thankyou for sharing this alot of wonderful childhood memories came flooding back…💫💜
