Cake
Description
Homemade treats for tea. The recipe for the "Winter Cherry" cake was passed down to me by my grandmother, for whom it was a signature dish prepared for every holiday. That's why this wonderful little cake now reminds me of my childhood and cozy evenings when the whole family gathered together. Now I often make this delightful dessert myself, since my grandmother shared her recipe with me, and I think it turns out just as good as hers. And since I'm not selfish, I'm happy to share this simple "Winter Cherry" cake recipe with you. It's quite easy to make, although it will take a bit of your time—but such a delicious treat is definitely worth the effort. The baking is done. Serve it at the table.
