Cake
Description
A delicious and quite quick-to-prepare cake. Our mothers surely baked it according to this recipe. Lately, this recipe has undeservedly been forgotten, which is a pity. This cake always turns out great! The cake layers are moist, well-soaked with cream and have a slight tanginess. You can decorate the cake in various ways, depending on the importance of the occasion for which you've baked it. You can cover it with melted chocolate and garnish with fruit slices, or sprinkle with crushed walnuts. I'll tell you how. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 2
Separate one third of the dough and mix cocoa into it. I usually bake one tall cake from 2/3 of the dough, then add cocoa to the remaining dough. Grease the baking pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Bake the cakes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes.

Then place the cocoa sponge layer and spread it with cream as well. Finally, top with the remaining sponge layer and cover it with cream. Crush the leftover sponge pieces and use them to coat the sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with fresh berries or grated chocolate. The cake will be soaked and ready after a few hours.
