UKRAINIAN KYIVSKY TORTE
Most tortes are compact and flat as compared to the modern high and fluffy cakes. Eggs add lightness to them and, in place of flour, ground nuts or bread crumbs are used as a thickening. Most of the Ukrainian tortes are rich, and the richer the better, since no one is calorie-conscious in Ukraine. The Kyivsky torte consists of layers of sponge cake containing ground hazelnuts or walnuts separated by buttercream filling.

UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS POPPY SEED RUM CAKE MAKOVYI TORTE
The queen of Christmas desserts combines the oldest ingredients found in Ukrainian cooking; honey, poppy seeds, and nuts. The rum butter cream and white icing marry very well with the heavier poppy seed sponge. Decorating tortes is a specialty in itself. Some cooks lay out elaborate folkloric designs and motifs from Ukrainian embroidery or tapestry patterns, using jellied candies or even multicolored hard candy. The white icing serves as a fine background. The only limit to one's imagination is that decorations should be edible.
