Gołąbki is a traditional Polish dish that we make year round. As they are quite time consuming, I make a lot at once and freeze any leftover to heat with a fresh tomato sauce another time. Gołąb means dove or pigeon in Polish, the dish is named so for its resemblance to a group of resting birds!

The fruit and cream can be prepared at least a few hours before assembling. You will also need a 26cm cake ring.
