Cake
Description
Here is a simple recipe for "Romashka" cake. You can prepare this cake with any fruit filling; I used bananas, kiwi, and oranges. You could use, for example, pineapple or strawberries—whatever you prefer. Before serving, let the cake set in the refrigerator. Some people leave the cake in the fridge overnight, but I usually find 3–4 hours sufficient. Good luck! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Divide the dough into two parts. Bake two layers one after another by pouring the batter into the pan. Then let the layers cool down and cut each in half. Keep two halves whole, and break the other two halves into small pieces.

Prepare the cream. Beat one tablespoon of sour cream with a cup of sugar, then add three packets of gelatin (previously dissolved in boiled water). Then finely chop the bananas, kiwi, and oranges. Mix the sour cream cream, fruits, and crushed cake layers.
