Cooking with Style Gamblers - One hour cake

Let's have some cake
written by Agata


 Lately we've been very busy with our full time jobs, holiday preparations and blog 1st birthday, so to be honest, there was not much time left for this column.
But how can you celebrate important day better than with tasty dessert? I decided to make this super easy cake which really doesn't take more than one hour.  This way we could focus on our birthday outfit posts here and here and enjoy the rest of the day with glass of Prosecco. I really love everything about this cake, simplicity, texture and flavour. If you lack time, this is perfect cake recipe for you!

Enjoy
