The famous Vasina cake straight from my mother's notebook. I remember when I was a kid this cake was a hit among the housewives, and I was nothing special. I needed to grow up to understand why it was so special and beautiful and considered one of the best cakes in this area. This cake was made for Christmas and you can prepare it for the upcoming feast of St.Vasilij the great.
