Cake
Description
Making the "Narcissus" cake at home is very easy: simple biscuit layers and light cream. This cake pairs wonderfully with tea and other beverages, and will be a hit at any celebration. The cake is very light and not overly sweet. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
1. Start making the cake by baking biscuit layers. For this, beat the egg whites separately with sugar, and the yolks separately. The mixture should increase in volume about fivefold. After that, combine and gently mix, then bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

5. If desired, you can soak one of the cake layers with liqueur and syrup: mix the liqueur with water and sugar. Sprinkle the top with leftover cake crumbs (I usually grind the cake trimmings and use them to coat the top and sides of the cake).
