Smart pastry
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I suggest making a smart cake and treating yourself and your loved ones to this delicious, delicate treat. The ingredients are accessible and practically always on hand, the baking is very simple—give it a try! During baking, the dough separates into three layers. The top is an airy sponge, the bottom layer is a delicate pudding, and in the middle you get a filling—something to taste like custard. In fact, despite its simplicity, the cake turns out quite unusual and not entirely familiar in flavor. And this is the dessert we will now make—a smart cake, a magical cake, a magical pie, and, finally, as it sounds in the original, Tarta magica. It can be served with tea or coffee.
