Halloween Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The Halloween "Frankenstein" cake can also be made with a creamy or fruity filling. To do this, cut the ready-made sponge cake in half and spread one half with your favorite cream. Add sliced fruits or berries, such as canned peaches, strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, and cover with the second half. Then follow the preparation instructions starting from step two. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1
1. Prepare the sponge cake. To do this, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Beat them separately with a mixer together with sugar until thick foam forms (add 3/4 cup of sugar to the egg whites). Combine the beaten egg whites and yolks, and gently mix with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder, stirring until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased rectangular pan (with vegetable or butter) and bake for 35–40 minutes at 180°C. Check the cake's doneness with a wooden toothpick. Let the baked sponge cake cool on a wire rack, then transfer it to a serving plate.
