Mileram Cake
Mileram Cake, a classic European dessert, is known for its creamy texture and subtly tangy flavor. It's a delightful addition to any table, especially in the summer months, as it pairs wonderfully with seasonal fruits. The cream made from sour cream and vanilla gives it a rich and creamy taste, while the fruit adds a refreshing touch.
