Cake
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. I want to share with you a classic recipe for making the "Capercaillie's Nest" cake. This cake can be prepared, for example, for a birthday or another family celebration. It looks beautiful and is very easy to make. If you or your children prefer sweeter baked goods, you can add a little more sugar than specified in this recipe. I also want to draw your attention to the flour. Use exactly as much flour as the dough absorbs—be careful not to overdo it (when the dough stops sticking to your hands, that's enough flour). Good luck with your baking!

Step 5
Sprinkle the baking sheet with flour and place the balls on it. The balls should not touch each other, as the dough will rise further. Put the balls in the oven and bake until golden brown.

Step 7
In a separate container, prepare the white glaze: mix sour cream with sugar and stir well. In another container, prepare the dark glaze: melt the chocolate over a water bath, add 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream and butter, and mix thoroughly. Dip half of the balls into the white glaze and the other half into the dark glaze. Place the white balls in the center of a plate and arrange the dark balls around the edges.
