Sour cream cake
Description
Homemade baked treat for tea. Cocoa is added to the dough, resulting in chocolate layers. A chocolate-based cream is used to spread between the layers and for decoration. You can make several layers. Bake each layer in a separate pan, or use one large pan and then cut the single cake into multiple layers. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
