And a lot, a lot of chocolate
Practice has shown that few average men are able to appreciate the multi-layered plagued masterpieces in which a note of rose is intertwined with lychee under a raspberry hat. But hardly any of them will pass by the brownie. This is the most “male” cake (photo below) also because any man can make it - even the one who has the maximum for a sandwich.
