Why This one

a few words from me

A four-layer cake full of surprises. Each layer is a different taste experience. It started with the fact that I had a cheese mix left from sugar-free cheesecake for my son. Then I found blended poppy seeds and dried fruit in the fridge. Maybe I should call it left over cake but it came so nice that I have decided to make it as my special Valentine`s cake. In the recipe You will discover what are the other two layers. Cake is amazing, colourful, moist and unbeatable.
