Cakes don’t always have to have a lot of cream and sprinkles. If you want to make a delicious cake for yourself, you can limit yourself to baking a sponge cake. As a rule, this is often the most airy and juicy cake. Cream is intended as an addition to the cake.
For example, in ancient Greece, they did not know how to make cream. For this reason, the Greeks prepared only a semblance of sponge cake. As impregnation, the ancient people used honey and alcohol.
Let’s try to prepare a cake consisting only of impregnated sweet sponge cake in Greek.
