Sponge cake with candied fruit
Description
Homemade baking for tea. This dessert will be loved by children, but it will not only be a great addition to a cup of milk for breakfast or a snack, but also to morning coffee for adults. I reduced the ingredients and baked the sponge in a small pan 18 cm in diameter; if your pan is larger, increase the ingredients on the list exactly twofold. The height of the sponge in a 26‑cm pan will be 4 cm, and in a 24‑cm or smaller pan it will be correspondingly larger. It can be served with tea or coffee.
