Cake
Description
Making the "Ant Hill" cake at home is much easier than most other cakes. The specified amount will yield not one, but two fairly large ant hills. Therefore, feel free to halve the ingredient quantities and make half the amount. Good luck!
Instructions

Step 1
Mix the room-temperature butter with flour (add 2 cups first), baking powder, milk, and beat in the egg. Add the remaining flour. The mixture should form a fairly firm, elastic dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.

Step 2
Grate the chilled dough on a coarse grater and spread it over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The dough will be enough for two baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the grated dough until golden brown (about 10 minutes), stirring once during baking to ensure even browning.
