Description

Perfect with tea and coffee. This cake could be called “Delight.” Eclair lovers will definitely appreciate it. It is prepared quite simply and relatively quickly. The starch in the cream can be replaced with flour. Sometimes sweet curd cheese bars are added to the cream. But believe me, there is already plenty of cream, and the layers are thin. That’s why I chose not to do that. The cake turns out quite large, so it will be enough for a big company. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
