Ingredients Used

Presentation Suggestion

---  After the cake has cooled, I prepare powdered sugar and then sift it over the cake so that it is evenly mixed, now for storage in an airtight container so that mine remains crispy. --- |||| |-|-|-| --- Now here I serve it on a plate to photograph it and then after the photo side is finished I taste it. Very crispy and the sweetness is just right, not excessive, very suitable to be enjoyed while relaxing. Now some of these cakes in the original recipe are stirred in sugar water which is cooked until it dries, then the cake is stirred. In my opinion, all versions are delicious, of course the added powdered sugar has less sweetness but if stirred in sugar the cake is sweeter, all according to your taste. --- --- ---  --- ---
