Healthy, because
Especially in stressful times, this light and fluffy berry cake is just right: Because the vitamin C that is abundant in the berries is involved in the formation of hormones that help us to cope with stress. In addition, the fruits provide cell-protecting secondary plant substances.
Even smarter
Take a little more berries and cover the berry cake with a lavish coating. This increases the content of vitamins and bioactive plant substances per cake piece.
