Sour cream cake

Description

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Each layer of dough is made with different additions: cocoa, poppy seeds, and chopped walnuts. You'll enjoy the variety of all three layers in every bite. The dough is based on sour cream, making it soft, tender, and fluffy. For the glaze, you can use sour cream, condensed milk, or butter. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
