Chokeberry cake with sour cream
Description
Homemade baked treat for tea. You can make this cake with dried chokeberries (whole berries), but I prefer using ground chokeberries. This cake has a unique flavor and a purple hue when sliced. The small particles of chokeberries give the impression that the sponge cake contains nuts. Serve with tea or coffee.
