Lenten waffle cake
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. You can treat your loved ones with a tempting dessert even on strict fasting days. You may use any dried fruit: apricots, raisins, dates, figs, and so on, but without pits or stones. Optionally, you can buy 2–3 packs of waffle cake layers and make a tall cake. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 2
Rinse the dried apricots and raisins under water, then transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. If you like, you can soak the dried fruit in water, but then the wafer layers may soften and the cake may not hold its shape. You may use any pitted dried fruit except prunes—they will give the dessert a dark color. Process the mixture or pass the dried fruit through a meat grinder.

Step 3
Mix the dried fruit mixture with honey and spread it on the first waffle layer, placing it on a plate or platter. Remember that the mixture is very sweet, so only lightly coat the waffles.

Step 4
In the same way, spread the remaining waffle layers, leaving the top layer unspread. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour so the layers can absorb.

Step 5
Remove the cake from the refrigerator and cut it into servings when plating. Brew fragrant tea and serve it alongside the cake, without sugar.
