Homemade dessert for tea. This is a truly festive, incredibly appetizing and delicious cake. Thin, crisp layers are perfectly soaked with rich chocolate cream. Before serving, you can decorate it with fresh berries, fruits, nuts, or even marshmallows. It's best to let the cake sit overnight so it becomes even more tender.
