Maybe she's a normal cake woman?
Normal ideas are welcome (or even non-cake desserts, if suitable). The chocolate marmalade one was described as "just a normal cake"βwhich makes sense, a lot of soviet recipes were dope at the time but people are in a totally different food system now lmao. Olivier salad still whips ass though. Mainly bc you can substitute a lot of ingredients, use sauce gribiche, better mustard, chicken, brussel sprouts..... Mmmmmmmmm brussels sprouts
The recipe said "just a normal cake"...?
I put too much fanfare into making an Epic Soviet Cake, and she was underwhelmed xD, I had to coax that statement out of her in the days afterward but I could tell by her face
