[Sca-cooks] OT OOP Russian cake question

[Bronwynmgn at aol.com]

I have a student this year who is Russian - her family has only been in the  
US for a year - and her mother sent her classroom staff a wonderful  cake for 
Christmas.  Her mother does not speak much English and we have no  idea what 
this is, but it's yummy!
 
It is many layers (at least 10) of very thin pastry of some sort  alternating 
with a cream sort of filling.  The pastry looks sort of like  graham crackers 
and is about the same thickness, but is not as sweet and is  much softer and 
moister.  I do think there are crushed graham crackers or  something similar 
on top.  The filling looks more like vanilla pudding than  anything, but I was 
getting a slightly tangy taste that makes me think it might  either be 
sour-cream based or have a small amount of lemon or something in  it.  No blatantly 
obvious spicing.
 
Anyone have any idea what this might be, or better yet a recipe?
