Cake for daughter
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. In this cake the flavor of nuts in the dough and the taste of coffee in the custard blend perfectly. A moderately moist, delicate, not very rich cake is not difficult to make at all. This cake is the result of my experiments. One day I baked it and for many years now it has been popular in our family. Try it yourself. And if you have a daughter, I hope she will like it Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
