About the dish

Different types of gibanica layer cakes can be found in almost every Slovenian region. In Pohorje, gibanica is made with yeast dough and homemade cottage cheese. The cake can be enriched with seasonal ingredients such as dried pears, apples, forest fruits, or tarragon, making this dessert interesting regardless of the time of year. When Pohorska gibanica has cooled down, and before serving, it is traditionally sprinkled with powdered sugar. It is recommended to serve the cake with moderately strong semi-sweet wines.
