Honey sponge cake
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Honey sponge cake is a unique combination of simple preparation, affordable ingredients, and a delicious result. According to the recipe, the airy sponge cake turns out surprisingly tender, soft, with a hint of honey. There are dry sponge cakes, but this one is not like that — it literally melts in your mouth, you can eat it without any creams like a real cake. Well, why am I talking — march to the kitchen to cook! :) Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
