Palych's Cake
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. Prague cake is easy to make. Of course, experienced pastry chefs make it much tastier, especially the icing. But even a homemade cake can compete with Palych's confectionery version. To make Palych's "Prague" cake, you can also use amaretto liqueur (or brandy) for soaking. However, I was cooking for a family celebration, so I skipped the alcohol. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
