Torta Russa is a 20th-century Veronese invention, conceived in the 1950s and popularised through Pasticceria Flego on Via Stella. The name refers to the cake's flat shape resembling a traditional Russian fur hat, not to any Russian ingredient. The cake combines almond flour, butter, sugar and a splash of rum; it travels well and is a steady Veronese gift cake.
