This cake was invented as a way to use up leftover cake scraps at confectioneries and was named for its appearance. Kartoshka (potato) cake was a brown oblong cake made from sweet biscuit crumbs with cream, condensed milk, and chocolate, decorated with ‘shoots’ made out of cream. By the end of the Soviet period, kartoshka was being made with biscuits and margarine and was not healthy at all. The original form of this dessert is delightful and fits right in with the contemporary trend of food waste reduction.
