Traditionally served at celebrations, it features layers of flaky pastry and rich custard. The cake symbolizes indulgence and is often enjoyed during festive occasions. Today, variations can be found worldwide, with some incorporating fruits or chocolate, but the classic remains a staple of Russian culinary heritage.
