The history of the appearance of the cake From where it originated, in what country was invented and who is the cook who first created this amazing combination of sweet dough, cream and various ornaments in one dish, by now it is not known. Some researchers believe that the homeland of the prototype of the cake is Italy and their opinion is supported by the evidence of linguists who claim that the word "cake" means something florid or intricate. Other researchers consider the birthplace of the sweet Vostok dish, with its mysterious "eastern sweets" and that it was there that not just the prototype of the modern cake was created, but the cake in the form in which we were accustomed to see it. And, although reliable information has not reached us, it can be confidently asserted that the role of the cake, which he plays on our festive table today, can not be overestimated. In this recipe I want to show you how the original is made, despite the absence of unusual ornaments, and a delicious cake "Curly".
