Cake
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. The cream can be prepared to your taste—it can be chocolate fudge or just condensed milk. Check cake layers for doneness with a wooden skewer; it should come out dry when inserted into the center of the layer. Let the layers cool on a wire rack before assembling the cake. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
