List Of Almond Dishes
This is a list of almond foods and dishes, which use almond as a primary ingredient. The almond is a species of tree native to the Middle East and South Asia. "Almond" is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree. Within the genus ''Prunus'', it is classified with the peach in the subgenus ''Amygdalus'', distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed (which is not a nut (fruit), true nut) inside. "Almonds" may also be from ''Terminalia catappa'', a plant commonly called "India almond." They are edible, yet not considered as palatable as the "almonds" from ''Prunus''.

Meringue Desserts
Meringue ( , ) is a type of dessert or candy, of French origin, traditionally made from whipped egg whites and sugar, and occasionally an acidic ingredient such as lemon, vinegar, or cream of tartar. A binding agent such as salt, flour or gelatin may also be added to the eggs. The key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks by denaturing the protein ovalbumin (a protein in the egg whites) via mechanical shear. They are light, airy, and sweet confections. Homemade meringues are often chewy and soft with a crisp exterior, while many commercial meringues are crisp throughout. A uniform crisp texture may be achieved at home by baking at a low temperature () for an extended period of up to two hours. History The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' states that the French word is of unknown origin. The name ''meringue'' for this confection first appeared in print in François Massialot's cookbook of 1692. The word ''meringue'' first appeared in English in 1 ...

Almond Desserts
The almond (''Prunus amygdalus'', syn. ''Prunus dulcis'') is a species of tree from the genus ''Prunus''. Along with the peach, it is classified in the subgenus ''Amygdalus'', distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed, which is not a true nut. ''Shelling'' almonds refers to removing the shell to reveal the seed. Almonds are sold shelled or unshelled. Blanched almonds are shelled almonds that have been treated with hot water to soften the seedcoat, which is then removed to reveal the white embryo. Once almonds are cleaned and processed, they can be stored for around a year if kept refrigerated; at higher temperatures they will become rancid more quickly. Almonds are used in many cuisines, often featuring prominently in desserts, such as marzipan. The almond tree prospers in a moderate Mediterranean climate with cool win ...

Sans Rival
Sans rival is a Filipino dessert cake made of layers of buttercream, meringue, and chopped cashews. Its name means "without rival" in French. The cake may be decorated, left plain, or garnished with pistachios. The cake's origins are disputed. One source claims the recipe has its roots in the French dacquoise, while Lucy Torres-Gomez, writing in ''The Philippine Star'', claims that the cake is descended from the ''tarta imperial rusa'', the Spanish adaption of a Russian cake which was popular with the Russian Imperial Family. A similar, smaller version of this recipe is called a silvana.

Layer Cakes
A layer cake (US English) or sandwich cake (UK English) is a cake consisting of multiple stacked sheets of cake, held together by a filling such as icing (food), frosting, jam, or other preserves. Most cake recipes can be adapted for layer cakes; butter cakes and sponge cakes are common choices. Frequently, the cake is cake decorating, covered with icing, but sometimes, the sides are left undecorated, so that the filling and the number of layers are visible. Popular flavor combinations include German chocolate cake, red velvet cake, Black Forest cake, and carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Many wedding cakes are decorated layer cakes. In the mid-19th century, modern cakes were first described in English. Maria Parloa, Maria Parloa's ''Appledore Cook Book'', published in Boston in 1872, contained one of the first layer cake recipes. Another early recipe for layer cake was published in ''Cassell's New Universal Cookery Book'', published in London in 1894. Older forms Wherea ...

Kyiv Cake
The Kyiv cake ( ) is a dessert cake produced in Kyiv, Ukraine since December 6, 1956Вечерние Вести. . Retrieved 2012-12-06. by the Karl Marx Confectionery Factory which is now a subsidiary of the Roshen corporation. The cake has emerged as a symbol of Kyiv, largely due to its brand name and packaging featuring the depiction of a horse chestnut leaf, which was present on the Coat of Arms of Kyiv during the Soviet era. The cake consists of two light layers of meringue with hazelnuts covered in a chocolate glaze, and filled with a buttercream-like filling. History Once confectioners forgot to put some amount of egg-white for the biscuit in a cooler. The next morning the chef Kostiantyn Petrenko, with the help of 17-year-old assistant Nadiia Chornohor, in order to hide the mistake of his colleagues, spread the frozen cakes with buttercream, strewed with powder, decorated with floral ornaments. The recipe of the Kyiv cake has changed with time: in the 1970s, bakers ...
