Cake
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. I want to share with you how to make a "Josephine" cake at home. The preparation process can be divided into several important steps. First, we'll prepare the cake layers, then make the cream, and finally assemble the cake and decorate it. Important note! The raisins need to be soaked in advance (pour over with boiling water, let them soften, then drain). Blot the soaked raisins and blend them in a blender; we'll need them for the dough. I recommend using sour cream that's not too fatty, so the cream doesn't turn out too runny. Good luck! Serve cooled or slightly warm.
