"They say that Vasa's cake is an authentic Serbian cake whose recipe dates back to 1908. According to the story, it was created as a sign of gratitude of the mother-in-law to her son-in-law, Vaso Čokrljan from Paraćin, who took his wife to Viennese doctors because it was said that childbirth could endanger the lives of children and women.Wife Jelena gave birth to a healthy and large child, and we were left with a recipe for this classic of Serbian cuisine. culinary legends and that every woman needs to make it at least once in her life.

Technically it quite a difficult cake to make as the sponge is made with ground walnuts and very little flour. The sponge is meant to rise and fall to create a sponge case that you fill with a chocolate and walnut ganache. The outside coating is a type of marshmallow based on the method for making Italian meringue.
