Prague Cake and Happy Fathers' Day

He mentioned it, maybe, once or twice, Prague Cake.  It seems he rather enjoyed it as a child growing up in Russia; but not until today I tried it.  Happy Father's Day?

I had asked my mother-in-law how to make it, but did not get very far and relied on a Russian recipe website. Everything went well up until the frosting.  Now, the recipe stated "cream melted butter," but what it really meant to say was to just "cream butter," (or quite possibly, to cream softened butter).  Oh my, I had liquid instead of a nice, creamy frosting.  I tried to salvage it, I put the bowl of "frosting" into the freezer, took it out a couple of minutes later and beat with the mixer.  It was now the consistency of frosting. Yay!

Not really, it was grainy as you can see from the picture(not a very good picture, sorry), and there was some sort of underlying liquid.  I was sad.  I told him what the recipe said, and what it really should have said, his words to me were "I coulda told you that." Huh? Then why didn't you?  Oh well, he will eat; he later said he does not care what consistency the frosting is, he will still eat it.

Mmmmm, I just tasted it! Yummy, I forgot how much I loved condensed milk, yes, there is condensed milk in the cake AND the frosting (did you not click on the link above?)
