Cake
Description
Homemade baking for tea. We’ll make the chocolate base from eggs, flour, sugar, and good cocoa powder. For the filling, choose a good cream cheese and high-quality condensed milk. If you like, you can add chopped nuts to the cake layers—or any dried fruit, or even fresh fruit or berries. The cake comes out slightly moist, well-soaked, and incredibly tasty. Serve it cooled or lightly warm.
