Graduation Cake
Description
Homemade dessert for tea. Here is a simple recipe for a graduation cake. First, let's prepare the sponge cake. Mix all the listed ingredients to obtain a wonderful dough. Bake a cake layer, let it cool, then cut it in half. Separately, prepare a meringue cream. Spread the cream between the layers and assemble the cake. Also cover the top and sides of the cake with cream. To give the cake significance and make it thematic, use fondant colored with food dyes. Cut out decorative elements from the fondant and decorate the cake. Then refrigerate the cake for several hours to let it set properly. Good luck!
