Recommended Recipes:
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- salt
- 4 tbsp water
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 4 cups 25% sour cream
- powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 oz chocolate
Instructions
- Break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar and salt, and beat with a mixer for 5 minutes.
- Add water.
- In a separate bowl, place the flour and add the baking powder.
- Next, add the cocoa and stir with a spoon.
- Gradually pour the flour mixture into the bowl, mixing at low speed.
- Pour the mixture into a baking pan lined with baking paper and bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer to see if it is ready; insert it into the sponge cake, and if it comes out dry, it is ready.
- While the sponge cake is baking, prepare the cream. If you want, you can strain it through cheesecloth for a few hours to make it thicker, which will remove the whey. So, put the cream in a bowl and add the powdered sugar.
- Beat with a mixer first at medium speed for one minute, then at high speed for 8-10 minutes, until the cream thickens well.
- It should have this consistency.
- The sponge cake is ready, cut it into 3 parts.
- All 3 pieces of sponge cake must be thoroughly soaked in milk; you can use a spoon.
- Then spread the cream on top, using plenty of it, as this amount of ingredients will be enough for the whole cake.
- Spread the sides and top with extra cream.
- Finally, grate a little chocolate and sprinkle it on top to make the cake look more attractive. Refrigerate the cake for at least 5-6 hours to soften, but preferably overnight.
