Magic Cake

Magically tender, simple, and delicious! It comes together in a flash — and disappears just as fast! This Magic Cake gets its name because it's magically easy to make and has a wonderfully delicate sponge-and-cream flavor. And, depending on your imagination, you can decorate it as simply or as fancifully as you like. I finished mine with chocolate shavings and chocolate figures, but if you're short on time, a dusting of chocolate shavings is plenty. Cherries also make a great topping — they pair beautifully with chocolate. So, let's make Magic Cake.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Ingredients.
Step 2:

Beat the eggs with the sugar.
Step 3:

Then mix in the mayonnaise and condensed milk.
Step 4:

Add the flour and baking powder and stir until smooth. Prepare the pan and grease it with oil. You can bake 2 layers separately, or bake 1 and cut it in half afterward.
Step 5:

Pour the batter into the pan and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes. Check the sponge with a toothpick or a dry knife: pierce it in the center, and if it's done, the knife or toothpick will come out clean.
Step 6:

Meanwhile, make the frosting. Whip the sour cream, adding the powdered sugar a little at a time. Chill the finished cream in the refrigerator so it thickens.
Step 7:

Cut the cooled, baked sponge into two layers.
Step 8:

Spread sour-cream frosting over it and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
Step 9:

Set the second layer on top and frost the whole cake with the sour-cream frosting.
Step 10:

Scrape chocolate shavings off the chocolate bar with a knife.
Step 11:

Press chocolate shavings onto the edges of the cake, then refrigerate it so it soaks and the frosting sets.
Step 12:

Make the chocolate decorations. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Step 13:

Ahead of time, prepare a template for the chocolate figures and a sturdy plastic sleeve. You can also draw on parchment paper. Slip the template under the sleeve, fill a piping syringe or bag with the melted chocolate, and carefully trace the design over the sleeve.
Step 14:

Then shift the template and keep tracing. Try to pipe the lines on the thicker side so the finished figures hold up. Make a few extra, since some may break.
Step 15:

Slide a flat tray or board under the piped figures and put them in the refrigerator to set.
Step 16:

Take the cake out of the refrigerator and coat the sides with chocolate shavings too.
Step 17:

Decorate the cake with the chocolate figures. The cake is ready — enjoy!
