Almond-chocolate cake, the taste is a bit reminiscent of the "Kyiv cake". This cake I made for Vitaly E. and his wife Elena. 10 years ago, they opened their hearts and home to homeless children, giving them shelter, food and love of the mother and father. Although they were not very young (Vitali was 58 years old). During these ten years, they took in their home more than 40 children and teenagers. Most of them have grown up and left home, they have their own families and their own lives. Now the family had three girls (one native and two adopted). Here is to a cake. And you, the cooks, thank you for teaching me to cook.
