Phyllo Cake- Paçavure Dessert

This Phyllo Cake or Paçavure Dessert is a delicious traditional Albanian dessert that cooks with baklava phyllo layers.
Do you remember the extra noodles from Rolled Kataifi With Phyllo Dough? Exactly, with those few phyllo noodles, we will prepare this other very tasty recipe to enjoy in the family.

I prepared a small casserole that was enough for ten servings. If you want to make a large casserole, you can double the following doses.

The recipe is simple. You can cook it quickly, even for a weekend lunch with family and friends.

4. Continue with yogurt, cinnamon, and sifted flour. Finally, we will add the baking powder.
5. We will throw this mass above the dried phyllo layers in the baking pan. Add the grated walnuts on top.
6. We will bake the phyllo cake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes. We check it with a toothpick. The toothpick must be dry.
