3. While the last cake layer is cooling, you can prepare the cream. Whip sour cream with condensed milk until smooth. Spread cream on one cake layer, cover with the second layer, and spread cream on top again. Leave the top layer without cream. Cut the cake in half and arrange both halves to form a semicircle. If there are any uneven areas, smooth them out with cream. Refrigerate the cake for 1.5–2 hours.
