Homemade Cake
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, table, and rolling pin, sprinkle flour on the table. The thinner you roll the dough, the better. From 12 layers, set one aside for crumbs. If you want the cake to look neater, trim the edges. But I like it just as it is—after all, it's a homemade cake :) Serve with tea or coffee.
