By the way, such a cake in Finland is prepared for Christmas, and it is considered a traditional recipe. Nevertheless, the Finns themselves, oddly enough, call it the “English Cupcake”. Such a cake is prepared in a special form with a hole in the center, so the finished product is obtained in a very beautiful shape, and besides it is better baked, which is especially important for batter. By the way, the quality of the pie depends not only on how good the products were used, but also directly depends on the quality of the mold. It is important to choose a form with a non-stick coating, otherwise it will be very problematic to take out the finished cake, it can lose all its aesthetics, breaking into pieces.
