Sugar Cake (Simple Recipe)
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. When preparing the dough for this cake, keep in mind that its consistency is different from classic yeast dough—it will be much stickier and softer. To prepare the sugar crumb, you can put the butter in the freezer for several minutes, then grate it on a coarse grater and mix with sugar. Don't forget to pour the cream over the baked cake and return it to the oven; this will make the cake much more tender and juicy. It's best to use a small pan, about 20x20 cm. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
