Budget Cake
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. I should mention right away that you can adjust the amount of sugar in the dough, but I wouldn't recommend adding more than 150 grams, otherwise it will turn into a solid sugar cake. This cake is small, but if you'd like to treat more guests (in addition to your family), simply double the ingredient quantities. You can cover it with any cream or chocolate glaze; this time I used my favorite cream made of condensed milk and butter. Serve with tea or coffee.
