Homemade cake

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Even an inexperienced cook can make this cake successfully. The main thing when mixing the biscuit batter is not to overbeat it—just mix lightly, otherwise the cake won't be fluffy. Instead of vodka, you can soak the biscuit with cognac. Decorate the top with chocolate shavings. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
