Royal Sour Cream Cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Ingredients for the dough. In this royal recipe, we bake each cake separately, since we use different ingredients as a filler for each. But we always start the same way: beat the egg with sugar, add flour, sour cream (we extinguish soda in sour cream beforehand) and knead the dough. Next in this dough are: either cocoa, or nuts, or cinnamon, or raisins, or poppy seeds. Each cake is baked separately at 180 C for 25-45 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   If raisins are chosen for one of the cakes, then you first need to soak it in boiling water for 10 minutes. Clean of debris and tails.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cooking cakes. Beat the egg with sugar.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add soda to sour cream, thereby quenching it, mix well. If sour cream was taken immediately from the refrigerator, then it needs to be heated to room temperature.

5. Step 5:

   

   After mixing sour cream and soda, the mass will increase.

6. Step 6:

   

   Mix the egg mass and sour cream.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add the sifted flour, mix well until smooth.

8. Step 8:

   

   Add raisins to the first batch for the cake and mix.

9. Step 9:

   

   The form is lined with parchment paper, lubricated with oil, pour out the finished dough. Bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes until cooked.

10. Step 10:

    

    In the second batch, I added chopped walnuts and cocoa. Cocoa here is an additional dry ingredient, so the dough will turn out thicker, you can reduce the amount of flour when kneading or add a couple of tablespoons of water.

11. Step 11:

    

    Bake the same way.

13. Step 12:

    

    For the third cake, I used poppy seeds and sliced apple.

14. Step 13:

    

    Bake the cake as well. This cake will turn out softer and it will be moist from apples.

15. Step 14:

    

    Making cream. Beat the softened butter with a mixer, then gradually pour in the condensed milk and beat until smooth.

16. Step 15:

    

    When the 3 cakes have cooled, cut off the tops in order to level the top. And it will also help to better soak those cakes where the crust turned out to be hard. We leave the trimmings for crumbs.

17. Step 16:

    

    Assemble the cake. We spread the cream on each cake, level it. Cover with the second cake, smear it, then level the third cake with cream on top and coat the sides of the cake.

18. Step 17:

    

    Dry the cake trimmings, put them in a bag and pass over it with a rolling pin on top to grind. You can also use a wooden pusher. In one hand we take a tray with a cake in the other we take a biscuit crumb and sprinkle the cake.

19. Step 18:

    

    Decorate the cake at your discretion. I sprinkled crumbs on 4 segments on the cake. Cut the apples into thin slices, boiled them for 5 minutes in sugar syrup, cooled them. I twisted 4 slices into a roll - I got a rose, made 3 roses, set them in the center. I laid out 3 slices in 2 rows with a fan.

20. Step 19:

    

    We leave the cake for impregnation.

21. Step 20:

    

    This is how the cake looks in the cut.

22. Step 21:

    

    Bon appetit to everyone!
