Cake
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The "Pancho" cake is very simple to make – a regular sponge cake is baked, then cut into pieces, each piece is dipped in a creamy sour cream frosting and stacked into a pile. After the sour cream frosting sets, the cake will become a single, cohesive dessert. Decorate the "Pancho" cake with melted chocolate or chocolate shavings. I highly recommend making the "Pancho" cake. Read my detailed recipe below. The finished dessert can be served immediately.
