Royal Charlotte
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Despite the fact that it's a royal charlotte, you can prepare it after work for an evening tea. Also, if you have a small family celebration planned, the cake will be quite suitable instead of a cake. For those who don't like ginger, you can replace it with cinnamon. You can choose any nuts, but in my opinion the most suitable are walnuts. Overall, everything is quite simple. I'll explain in detail, Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
