Cake with sour cream frosting
Description
Homemade baking for tea. The “Gorka” cake is very easy to make, but it still requires time, just like any other cake. You won’t have to roll out and bake 7–8 layers. You will bake just one sponge cake from eggs, sour cream, condensed milk, cocoa, and flour. Assembling the cake is a matter of technique. Cherries can be used fresh or frozen. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
