Cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. The recipe for the cake "Stirlich" will surprise you with one unexpected ingredient. If desired, it can be replaced with a more familiar one—sour cream; however, it is precisely the mayonnaise that makes this cake incredibly soft and moist. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
