Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. "Pincher" cake is a very filling dessert popular since Soviet times. When many products were in short supply, ingredients for this cake could be found in almost every home. The cake is prepared very quickly, and the frosting requires nothing more than mixing sour cream with sugar. Preparation: To make the sour cream frosting, grind the sugar into powder and whisk together with sour cream or cream until foamy. To prepare the glaze, mix milk and powdered sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat. Add chocolate and butter. Stir until the chocolate dissolves. Add cocoa and starch. Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Let cool slightly until the glaze thickens a bit. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, baking soda, and cocoa. Add flour, sour cream, and condensed milk. Mix until smooth and uniform. The batter should be thick. Bake two cake layers in the oven, one larger than the other. If desired, cut the larger layer in half and spread with sour cream frosting. Cut the smaller layer into 2 cm squares. Dip each cube into the sour cream frosting and arrange them on the large layer in the shape of a cone. Alternatively, mix all the cubes at once with the frosting and spoon them onto the cake layer. Cover the cake with chocolate glaze or sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Serve chilled.
