Like a lot of people in New Orleans, I love what is called Russian cake. Does anyone have a legit recipe for this? If so , please post. Thanks.

I don't have one but I make a mean stroganoff. I'm sure a couple of posters on here would have it since they probably cooked for Catherine The Great.

I don't know where the name comes from, but it has nothing to do with Russia.

It's a trifle. Google it and read Herb St Absinthe article and attached recipe.

It is much easier to just buy it. Haydel's has it and I think dorignacs still makes it.

Whew.
Between this and the German thread, I found myself wanting to locate my cold war fallout shelter supplies.

In the days of corner bakeries, the baker would take pieces of unsold cakes and make Russian Cake by soaking them in cheap rum (or wine) and sugar, and molding them into a single cake. Pieces of the unbaked cake were then sold for a pittance, mostly to neighborhood kids (including me). This was a way to salvage some cost on unsold bakery items. Dorgnacs still does that and they are delicious. I think they use cherry liqueur to mold the cake.

Yes, Russisan Cake is mixture of all leftover cakes combined and molded into a new cake.

Always loved Russian cake.. Never could find anyone in the BR area that does it. Seems like a great idea to get rid of scraps.

Delicious stuff. Beulah Ledner on Metairie Rd. used to make one that had the density of decomposed uranium. Rich, tasty and with a glass of milk it could leave you stuffed for hours.
