- Comments
- This cake is really very easy - it takes 20-30 minutes to prepare, and another 35-45 minutes to bake; all in all, about an hour from start to finish.
Considering the simplicity of the cake, it is surprisingly fluffy and quite good.
The name is a rough translation of its basic description.
This recipe comes from my mother, and is one of my personal favorites.
