The story behind this recipe
a great story of this recipe begins....just now.
here begins the story, that my grandchildrens will tell to their friends over a cup of spiced tea with "precisely this pie".
Or this story will be written on the back of the menu of a small cozy restaurant on the seafront.
I love to cook elaborate dishes with contrasting textures, beautiful colors and, of course, unique, bright taste.
But the real favorite dishes, like this cake, easy to prepare, do not require rare, expensive products, but competing in all positions competing in all positions with complex, expensive dishes.

The first time I made this cake in 16 years. It was a culinary inspiration. Of course, I knew how to cook different types of dough and maybe the recipe like this exists in cookbooks, but for me it remains my copyright creation. since the number of prepared cakes exceeded one hundred, as the number of compliments received regularly at tea parties with cake.
But today I first measured out all the ingredients and the time required for each stage.
This cake can be called universal, and not be afraid that his taste bored with frequent cooking, because the stuffing can be changed depending on preferences and available products. perfect for filling peach, apple, banana, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, fruits and berries can be easily complement any nuts, cheese, mascarpone cheese.
Well, that's all I wanted to say. And now begins the story of this recipe ...!
