Belokranjska povitica
Belokranjska povitica (English: Bela krajina rolled cake) is a Slovenian national dish. It was supposedly brought to the Bela Krajina region by Uskoks, who were Croatian Habsburg soldiers that inhabited the areas of the eastern Adriatic area.[1] The name itself, povitica, explains the preparation procedure. The term povitica is a derivate from verb poviti (English: to roll).
