Birthday cake for my beloved
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. If you're unsure which cake to make, go for a chocolate one—no one will refuse a piece. For a man, you can modestly decorate it with berries and grated chocolate. The cake remains slightly moist in the center. Let it chill in the refrigerator before serving. Serve with tea or coffee.
