Ul Boov

Shoe Sole Cake

This cake is made (or bought) for the buddhist new year's festival "Tsagaan Sar", as well as for personal festivities like a marriage. The name is derived from the shape, which reminds of the sole of a shoe. The patterns in the center are stamped with a wooden block, the bulge around is also a result of the stamping.

On the festive table, the sole cakes get stacked into a big tower, which is filled with Aruul and other sweets. There is always an uneven number of levels in the tower, and each level is formed by 5 cakes. At the top comes a little heap of Urum.
