If you want to enjoy a truly irresistible dessert, this is the right one. NUA CAKE WITH CUSTARD AND BLACK CHERRIES. Very easy to make, very famous on the web, and of dubious origin. This dessert has questionable origins; it should have been created by a food blogger, and it immediately had tremendous success, so many people replicated it. In fact, this is the first time I’m making it, driven by great curiosity, and I assure you it is really super delicious. Easy to make as it does not need to be filled after baking but the cream is placed directly on top of the batter during baking. I must say I was skeptical at first, convinced it would sink to the bottom of the cake, but instead, it remained perfectly in the center. Try it too and let me know if you like it.
