Condensed Milk Cake
Description
Homemade baking for tea. The “Zebra” cake is very easy to make, but it takes time. Yet, from the simplest and not very expensive ingredients you get a wonderful dessert that will decorate the table on weekdays and holidays. The cake is soft, tender, and very tasty. The number of layers depends on the diameter of your pan. I baked it in a multicooker with an 18 cm bowl. I got 4 layers. With a larger pan diameter, there will be correspondingly fewer layers. It can be served with tea or coffee.
