Cake
Description
Homemade treats for tea. When I was interning in America, I became friends with a girl named Simona, even though that name is considered masculine there. So when her birthday came, I decided to congratulate her in this special way. It's a great recipe for making an "ombre" cake, and it's quite simple to prepare. I highly recommend it. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
