Sour Cream Cake with Walnuts
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. This cake is super easy to make and relatively quick. The layers bake for two to three minutes each. The cream is quick, too. Use only sour cream with a fat content of at least 25%. Sour cream with 15‑20% fat won’t whip; it will turn into kefir with powdered sugar. A sour‑cream cake with a distinctive nutty note and a delicate sour‑cream cream will definitely please your relatives and guests. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

Knead a sufficiently firm yet elastic dough. If it sticks to your hands, add more flour. But you shouldn't heavily “beat” the dough with flour. Divide the dough into 7‑8 pieces.
