Description

Monkey Bread is the translation of 'Мартышкин хлеб.' This pudding is called that in English because it resembles the cones of the Chilean Araucaria tree, which is also known as the 'monkey puzzle tree.' But don't let all these monkey-related complexities confuse you—it's simply a very delicious cake.
