"Tiramisu"
This is another delicious cake made from cheese. This multi-layered dessert is made from soft savoyardi sponge cake soaked in coffee with cognac or rum, delicate creamy mascarpone cheese, sprinkled with bitter cocoa powder on top. The homeland of a delicious cake that quickly became popular all over the world is Italy, famous for its cuisine. It is believed that tiramisu is an invention of the last few decades, since there is no earlier mention of it. For the first time, the recipe for the cake is given in the cookbook by Giuseppe di Clemente in 1971. There is a legend about this dessert that it was first prepared for the Tuscan Duke Cosimo Medici, but the recipe was used under a different name. Separately, it is worth mentioning the name of the cake - literally "tiramisu" is translated from Italian Tiramisù as "lift me up", which probably reflects the highest delight in the taste of the cake.

"Black forest"
Even if you are not too familiar with the name "Black Forest", you definitely tried this cake. A delicate sponge cake is saturated with cherry liqueur, the cream is made from airy cream, and a special note is given by an amazing combination of dark chocolate and ripe cherries. The "age" of this cake is relatively small - the cake was invented in Germany in the 30s of the last century. From there it spread to other countries, and in Russia it has become extremely popular literally in the last decade. The cake is also known under other names - "Black Forest" (from German. Schwarzwälder) or "Black Forest" (from English. Black Forest), which means "Black Forest". It is difficult to say with certainty where the original recipe for the Black Forest cherry cake originated, but many associate its appearance with the name of the mountainous region of Germany Schwarwald. This is a very distinctive area, known both for its original architecture and traditional outfits, as well as for the delicious local cuisine - delicate ham prepared according to a special recipe, as well as the cake mentioned above.

"Cheesecake"
Another very popular cake all over the world, in different countries it is prepared with multiple variations. The main ingredient of the cake is cottage cheese, and the technology of its preparation is baking a delicate creamy mass over low heat. History has it that the first cheesecakes date back to ancient times. In Greece, they were served at festive feasts, and for Olympic athletes, cheesecake was part of the standard diet. Later, the cheesecake recipe "migrated" to Ancient Rome and was very much to the taste of Julius Caesar. It was from there that cheesecake spread to European countries, England is considered the native modern variety of the cake. Although in Russia, cheese pie was known back in the 13th century. Another version of the origin of this recipe says that the cheesecake, presumably, originated from eastern countries. In the East, raisins, fruits, citrus zest were added to the curd mass, and this mass was baked over a fire. It was this recipe that came to Europe from the eastern countries with the crusaders.

"Napoleon"
This is probably the most popular cake in the world and is loved by many. Traditionally, it is made from puff pastry, the cakes are smeared with butter, butter or custard - whichever you prefer. Two beautiful legends are associated with the origin of his recipe. According to the first, Napoleon's wife Josephine accidentally caught him whispering something in the ear of the lady of the court, and, naturally, demanded an explanation. The savvy emperor guessed to say that he was revealing to the lady the secret of making his favorite delicacy, and at the same time named a set of ingredients at random. Josephine ordered the court pastry chef to prepare a cake according to this recipe, which turned out to be surprisingly tender and tasty, and was named after the Emperor Napoleon. A more real legend says that the cake recipe appeared in Russia in 1912, when the 100th anniversary of the expulsion of the French from the country was celebrated. Everyone liked the cake and became extremely popular both in our country and abroad.
