The biscuit "Moskovik (Moskovskoe)" according to the recipe of the 1870s.

The biscuit is made according to the recipe of the famous chef of the Russian Empire, the head waiter of the imperial court, Duke Maximilian of Leuchtenberg.

Almond sponge cake based on nut butter. What was the nut butter like? Let's study it.

In vintage cookbooks, there was also a second variant of the sound of word "moscovite" – "Moskovik".

Attention:

• The original name of the product is "Moskavik biscuit with nut butter". The name was shortened by the project.
• In the original recipe it was written that the biscuit, if desired, was baked in a mold or molds. The project biscuit is made in the form of cookies (on a dessert plate) and a light cake of a slightly larger size.
