Five-Story Cake

Five thin layers of cake studded with walnuts and spread with raspberry jam. Dust this generously with powdered sugar and you have the Hungarian nut cake that has been a specialty of Rollin’ Pin Bake Shop in Atwater Village for years. The cake is not overly sweet, and the top is rough with nuts, which adds to its eye appeal. Rollin’ Pin sells it in thick slices so you can buy as little or as much as you need.
