Cake "Fruit Opera" Recipe
I want to offer you a very light, delicate, truly summer cake or dessert "Fruit Opera". The cakes are soft, airy, and thanks to impregnation juicy and moist. Gluten-free composition. If desired, the biscuit can be replaced with any other. Dessert is moderately sweet. And the combination of strawberries with citrus notes gives just an excellent combination. Despite the layering of this dessert, it is prepared quite easily and simply. I hope you enjoy it!!!
