Cake for 30 years
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To make a cake for a 30th birthday, you need to bake many layers, preferably of different colors. What I love about this cake is that it turns out to be versatile. This dessert is suitable not only for a birthday, but also for New Year's, for example. Check out the recipe. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
