Cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. I decided to make the cake strawberry, but you can use any berries. For decoration you can use fruit or berries, or simply drizzle the cake with chocolate. In this recipe the cake turns out large – a little over 2.5 kg. Try it. It can be served with tea or coffee.
