Kyiv cake is the nut-meringue choice in our Ukrainian cake collection. Our version combines airy meringue containing cashew nuts with custard cream, buttercream and a thin chocolate cream finish.
It suits someone who enjoys the contrast between crunchy nuts, meringue and smooth cream. If you prefer a soft honey sponge or flaky pastry, compare it with Medovik and Napoleon before deciding.
What is inside our Kyiv cake?
The cashew meringue gives the cake its crunch and nutty flavour. Custard cream and buttercream add richness, while chocolate cream adds another flavour to the finish. This is why it tastes different from a plain sponge, even when both have similar celebration decorations.
The nuts are part of the meringue, not just a topping that can be removed. Recipes from other bakers may use different nuts; check the exact product rather than relying on the name alone.
Ingredients and allergy requirements
Our Kyiv cake lists cashews, eggs and milk. It is not suitable for someone avoiding cashews. An ingredient list without wheat is also not proof that a cake is suitable for a person with a wheat allergy or coeliac disease, because kitchen handling and supplier information matter.
Read our allergen information and tell us the exact requirement before ordering. We cannot guarantee any item is completely free from cross-contact in our kitchen. For a mixed group, arrange a suitable option for the person with an allergy separately rather than assuming removing decoration will make this cake suitable.
Choose the serving option and finish together
The product description shows an 8-inch standard cake and bespoke designs from 6 to 12 inches. The serving options let you specify how many people the order should cover; dimensions and decoration can change with a custom brief.
Use our portions guide to explain whether the cake is a main dessert, an afternoon treat or part of a larger dessert table. We will confirm the size for the finished design rather than asking you to calculate servings from a photograph.
When Kyiv cake is a good choice
It works well when the people eating it enjoy nuts, meringue and cream. It is a useful option for a birthday or dinner where flavour and texture are part of the occasion. For an unfamiliar group, explain the ingredients clearly before serving.
For a wedding, compare flavours through a consultation, with tasting available by arrangement. Our Ukrainian cake guide is a useful starting point for choosing flavours to discuss.
Arrange the handover before the celebration
Send us the date, postcode, serving count and preferred finish. We will confirm collection or delivery for that order, together with the timing and cost. Follow the cake-specific care instructions provided for your cake, and agree suitable storage with the venue before it arrives. Delivery information explains how the arrangements are confirmed.
