Baked goods with cream

Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. I baked this cake using vanilla extract. Instead of vanilla, you can use finely grated zest of one lemon; in that case, increase the sugar amount to 300 grams. All ingredients are given for a pan 24-26 cm in diameter. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
