Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the listed ingredients.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Crack three chicken eggs into the bowl of a food processor or mixer, add 1 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat for about 4–5 minutes on the highest speed until the mixture turns pale and triples in volume.

    Then add 3 tbsp cocoa powder and wheat flour to the egg mixture. Using a silicone spatula or a whisk, gently fold in the dry ingredients.

    Step 4

    Step 4

    The color of the dough will depend directly on the color of the cocoa powder. The darker the cocoa, the darker the cake layer will be.

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Grease your baking tin with vegetable oil. It is best to bake the sponge layers in a multicooker if you have one on hand. Pour the batter into the greased tin. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 30–35 minutes, or in the multicooker on the “Bake” programme for 50 minutes.

    Step 6

    Carefully remove the finished cake layer from the pan.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Step 7

    Place it somewhere cold to cool. Bake the second chocolate sponge layer in the same way.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Step 8

    When the sponge layers have cooled, cut them horizontally so you end up with 4 layers. Put sour cream of any fat percentage into the blender or mixer bowl, add 0.5 tbsp sugar and lemon juice, then add stabilizer for sour cream or for heavy cream. Whip everything for about 5–6 minutes until thickened.

    Step 9

    Step 9

    On a plate, place the first cake layer and soak it with syrup or jam, sweet water with sugar, and so on. Spread one quarter of the sour cream frosting on top and spread it evenly. If you like fruity fillings in cakes, you may optionally arrange pieces of orange or mandarin on top.
