I´m sure you know this cake. I used to make it sooo many times, everyone just loved it. The original recipe for this pound cake with pudding, coffee and whipped cream, or for the second name of this cake, nebeské rezy (heaven cake), is from the magazine for Báječná žena. My recipe is a little bit changed. I´m talking about the recipe using bigger baking pan and the pound cake which is in our family many years. Although it´s a bit time-consuming, the result is worth it. So if you like no butter recipes with pudding and coffee, definitely try this out. After all, the combination of pound cake, pudding, sour cream, small biscuits, coffee and whipped cream….just yummy. I used small round biscuits called piškóty, but if you don´t find them, use any kind of hard vanilla biscuits. The focus is on hard, because they will be soaked with coffee, so you don´t want to get destroyed, too watery biscuits. But definitely, definitely, definitely do not forget to put the cake over night in the refrigerator. I couldn´t have waited and started to slice it after one hour in the refrigerator and the cake wasn´t firm at all. But the next day, the cake was perfect.
