I have been thinking about this cake for YEARS!
I used to go into people homes for work and a lot of very nice people would offer me food. If the house and kitchen looked clean enough I would usually accept.
This particular time I was offered a white cake with whipped topping, it had an orange flavor, and was possibly soaked/baked with an orange liquor/syrup. It was so light and delicious!
Problem is there was a language barrier. Based on their house decor and the sound of their language, im guessing they were eastern European of some sort. We got by with a lot of hand gestures and when I was finished with my job, they pointed to the table, gestured for me to sit and presented this cake to me. I tried to ask what it was called and they unfortunately were unable to understand.
Now I know I can Google "orange cream cake" and probably find some recipes, but I am looking for THIS RECIPE. Does ANYONE possibly know of a traditional Czech, Romanian, polish, or maybe even Ukranian cake that fits this description???
Im doing a friendsgiving in a few weeks and would love to find out where this comes from and share it with others (as well as the story behind it.)The cute elderly couple that invited me into their home and fed me live rent free in my mind because of this cake! I NEED TO KNOW!
