PRAGUE CAKE
A gorgeous, sticky and sweet chocolate cake that my friend Kati made for my birthday this year! This is a Russian recipe that uses sour cream in the batter - no butter, no margarine, no oil, but let's just say that the cake is still not exactly light!! Also, note that the cake recipe is for one cake: you need to make two for a nice, tall cake. Do NOT double the cake recipe - make it twice! If you want to make a smaller "Prague torte", make just one cake and halve the syrup and filling ingredients. The original recipe was somewhat vague instruction-wise (make cake, bake until done, sort of thing...) but this is how Kati ended up making it - and it was luscious!!

- Trdelnik. Trdelnik is one of the most common pastries to find on Prague’s streets — in fact, three-dimensional invitations to try the rolled pastry hang from storefronts throughout the city, particularly in the tourist neighborhoods.
- Strudl. No, that isn’t a typo! Strudel may be famed in Vienna, but strudl is a traditional Czech dessert. Of course, when you compare the names as well as the pastries themselves, it’s obvious that they both come from the same place — in fact, some food historians believe that the modern strudel and strudl were inspired by early versions of Turkish baklava.
- Makový koláček. Makový koláček, also known simply as kolach, is a Czech pastry that has actually become extremely popular in some parts of the States.
- Medovnik. Honey cakes are very popular in Prague, and there are two in particular that you should be sure to try during your stay. The first is medovnik — a very complex answer to any American honey cake I’ve ever tried.
- Marlenka. Marlenka is another type of honey cake popular in Prague. The best way to recognized marlenka from medovnik in Prague bakery windows is to look at the shape — medovnik is baked in circles and served in wedges, while Marlenka is baked in rectangles and served in rectangular or square slices.

There are many versions of goulash in this part of Europe and the dish itself probably originates from Hungary, but the Czech-style goulash is one of the best I’ve ever had.
