Marlenka is an ancient Armenian honey-layered cake with nuts. This old Armenian recipe recently came to light in the Czech Republic, where an Armenian became famous with this honey cake, which he called Marlenka, after his wife and daughter’s name. You can make significant and simple Christmas cookies that look beautiful and taste delicious, inspired by Marlenka cake.

1/2 cup consented milk

And that’s all 🙂
Enjoy your meal!
