Cake
Description
Homemade baking for tea. The “Rotten Log” cake with nuts got its name because when the dough rises, many “holes” form in it. As a coloring agent you can use jam syrup, carrot juice, beet juice, etc. Preparation of the Rotten Log cake with nuts: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. In a bowl whisk the eggs into foam with a mixer. Then add sugar and jam, whisk. Whisk in sour cream. Add baking soda, flour, and walnuts. Mix gently. You should get a thick batter. Grease a cake pan with butter and pour the prepared batter into it. Bake three layers sequentially for about 15–20 minutes. If desired, you can make layers of different diameters. To make the cream, whisk sour cream with sugar and coloring. When the layers are ready, remove them from the pan, lightly spread the sour‑cream cream and let cool. Spread the layers with cream again, stack them, and pour the remaining cream over the top. Decorate the cake as desired with fruit, nuts, powdered sugar, etc. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
