Description
The sight of a Danube wave really makes your mouth water. The play of colours of the individual layers alone is visually great! This is because the mixture of light and dark dough, mixed with cherries, form a wavy pattern. The taste is then literally topped with a heavenly buttercream and chocolate coating. What a cake dream!
