Stolichny Cake
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. The “Stolichny” cake is easy to make. The main thing is not to skimp on raisins — there should be plenty. I used dark and light ones; in my opinion, it’s more interesting that way. Serve this lovely cake on weekdays and holidays. Serve cool or slightly warm.
