📖 The Story Behind This Dish

In Bulgarian homes, 'keks,' a cake made with yogurt, is baked routinely. The yogurt's tang and moisture make it moist and fluffy, and it reacts with baking soda or baking powder to rise well. Lemon zest or cocoa is often added for a marble pattern, and it's enjoyed with coffee or tea.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Sunday afternoon in a Bulgarian home, a fresh marble cake is sliced as a visiting neighbor gathers for coffee.
