Amazing cake! )) Today, in honor of February 14, I pleased my beloved with it - he really liked it! True, I made it smaller, it turned out like a big pie, but I kept your recipe. It’s relatively simple to prepare, but the taste, mmm))) I was especially impressed by the cakes - very airy and so unusual. For all its airiness, torti turns out to be quite filling, largely thanks to dried fruits and nuts - a worthy replacement for other artificial fillings. I am delighted!

Malinshi, thank you for your review, I’m glad you liked the cake. The cakes are really interesting because of their airiness and the fact that they are slightly moist.

And it reminded me of an epaulette, I don’t know why))) Maybe because of the color scheme, so soft gold and cream. Of course, the cake is amazing, but very filling. Half a piece is enough for me. But the family snorts happily.

The cake is really hearty, more suitable for men and children with a sweet tooth. When I bake such cakes on weekdays, I immediately cut off a piece to treat my friend, otherwise it will take us a long time to eat it ourselves.
