Pie
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Even a child can make the “12 spoons” cake, yet at the same time it is a sponge cake without equal. Light as a cloud, with a pleasant citrus aroma, literally melting in the mouth! It got its name because you don’t need to measure strict grams on a scale or read the markings on a measuring cup. Everything is extremely simple and practically all ingredients are added in the amount of 12 tablespoons. On the internet you can find this pastry under the name “Italian cake without scales”. Various dried fruits, nuts or candied peel can be added to the batter, and the sponge can also be used for making a cake.
