Description

The "Nastenka" cake is perfect for everyday afternoon snacks and Sunday family lunches. I consider the "Nastenka" cake to be healthy, as it's made with yogurt and dried apricots! Overall, it can be regarded as a variation of semolina cake. The main challenge is baking the layers properly—two times for 40 minutes each. Everything else is easy! Good luck! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
