Autumn Leaves Cake

A light and incredibly tasty dessert with a philosophical theme! An easy to prepare and incredibly delicious dessert. According to the cooking technology, it is reminiscent of such desserts as “Curly Lad” or a snowball. The name is based on a comparison with a pile of fallen leaves in late autumn. The browned, fallen leaves are raked into a heap, it is covered with snow and in the spring, tender snowdrops make their way through the old brown leaves. This cake would look great on a holiday table for a birthday or Easter. The cake is formed from small pieces that resemble leaves. The leaves can be baked separately as small cakes and folded into a cake. I prefer the "rifled" method. Bake a large cake (preferably 2 cakes) and cut it into leaves. The cake is decorated with chocolate leaves and flowers.
