Latvian hedgehog cake with layered sponge and rich chocolate cream
LATVIA · PELLIJA · 1 KG
What it is
Ezitis — “little hedgehog” in Latvian — is a classic celebration cake from Pellija, a bakery in KĶekava, Latvia. Soft sponge layers are sandwiched with chocolate cream, glazed in dark chocolate, and decorated with wafer rolls or chocolate fingers that recreate the hedgehog’s distinctive spines. The result is a cake as striking to look at as it is to eat: moist, not too sweet, with the slight bitterness of cocoa running through every bite.
