Once upon a time, back when the ready snacks did not rage everywhere, there was the cake for breakfast; but also for the snacks!
Certainly not a complicated cake, rich in expensive ingredients and prepared for a day of celebration;
a simple cake, made with what was in the house.
For example, a nice bundt cake, like the one I made here.
It is a cake that is prepared quickly and without too many complications, if you want even without a special cake pan; just a heatproof bowl in which to place the dough.
It does not need special kitchen equipment:
everything can be mixed in a bowl, by hand.
I wanted to do a luxury preparation, decorating the cake even with almonds and granulated sugar; and I also used the mixer!
But I love the comfortable life, sometimes ...
