Description

The cake turns out very tender, soft, and moderately sweet. Beautiful and tasty, it will be perfect for any festive table. I want to point out some details of the preparation. Use any nuts, add sugar to taste, and decorate as you like. Good luck. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

    Step 8

    While the cake layer cools, prepare the cream. Mix full‑fat sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. I don’t like very sweet cakes; 3–4 tablespoons of powdered sugar were enough for me. Adjust to your taste.

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

    Cut the cooled cake layer into three parts. You will get three layers. Spread each with cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, which should be toasted in a pan or roasted in the oven beforehand.

    The time has come to decorate the cake. There are no dogmas here, and everyone does it according to taste and the ingredients they have. I propose my own version of cake decoration. Using three egg whites, a cup of sugar, and food coloring, I made meringue.
