Chocolate cake with milk
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. The milk cake is usually decorated with chocolate shavings, which can easily be made with a knife. The milk and eggs should be at room temperature; then the sponge cake will turn out fluffier. You can use any chocolate, but it must be of good quality. The sponge cake can be baked 2–4 days before the celebration and, wrapped in plastic film, stored in the refrigerator. The pastry is ready. Serve to the table.
