Garash Cake
Also known as: Гараш торта
Bulgarian flourless layer cake of thin walnut meringue rounds and dark-chocolate cream.
About Garash Cake
Garash is a Bulgarian chocolate-and-walnut cake created in Ruse and named for confectioner Kosta Garash. This profile follows the established five-layer flourless walnut-meringue and chocolate-cream form.
Walnuts give the thin layers a deep roasted nuttiness, while dark chocolate adds concentrated cocoa bitterness. Sweet cream softens the filling into a rich, smooth ganache and balances the crisp-chewy nut layers.
The cake is low and round, with five slim brown walnut layers separated by dark glossy chocolate cream. A smooth chocolate coating hides the striped interior until sliced.
