Description
The baking is simple and quick. The "Lily of the Valley" cake recipe with photos is just one of the possible variations. You can decorate the cake with a floral theme using, for example, fondant. How many little branches you place on the chocolate glaze depends on your skill and imagination. You can replace the jam with buttercream or yogurt cream, according to your taste. The baked good is ready. Serve it at the table.

7. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and use it to glaze the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the glaze to set properly. Whip the frosting again and add a little food coloring. It's better to leave a small portion of the frosting white to decorate the flowers themselves.
