Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. Despite the fact that the layers are quite high here, thanks to the soaking they turn out completely not dry. In addition to milk, you can use sugar syrup, for example. In the cream, if desired, you can add slightly less butter. An excellent cake for the whole family—give it a try. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
