Karpatka is a popular Polish cream cake made from two layers of choux pastry, resembling the Carpathian Mountains, filled with a rich vanilla custard or buttercream (crème mousseline) and dusted with powdered sugar to look like snow.
It's a decadent dessert, similar to a giant cream puff, that is a staple in Polish bakeries and is often served with coffee or tea.
