Cake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. 1. First, combine eggs with sugar and whisk thoroughly. Add sour cream and mix until smooth. 2. Sift flour together with cocoa powder. Gradually add to the batter, stirring constantly. Add baking soda and vanilla. 3. Using the specified ingredients, bake 4 cake layers. Each layer takes about 20–25 minutes. After baking, let each layer cool completely. 4. Meanwhile, beat softened butter with condensed milk. Add cocoa and vanilla (optional) during mixing. Place the finished cream in the refrigerator. 5. Generously spread cream over three cooled cake layers and stack them. Leave the top layer without cream. This is a rather classic recipe for the "Nochka" cake. Optionally, you can add nuts, candied fruits, or poppy seeds. 6. To prepare the glaze, place butter, sugar, a little milk, and cocoa (or chocolate) into a small saucepan. 7. Cook the glaze for about 4–5 minutes. 8. Generously cover the "Nochka" cake with the glaze and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight, so it soaks well). 9. Optionally, decorate the top with small stars made of melted white chocolate. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
