Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The sour cream cream used to soak the cake layers makes it tender and delicious. You can serve it as a loaf cake, or soak it with cream or syrup, jam or preserves. Each time you'll get a different variation of cake. For now, I suggest you find out. Serve chilled.

4. Prepare a baking pan and grease it with oil. You will need a tablespoon. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of dark batter into the center of the pan. Then pour 1-2 tablespoons of light batter directly on top. In this way, fill the pan with half of the batter, as this amount should yield two cake layers. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the layers one at a time (about 25-30 minutes).

7. We need to prepare the icing. Do not make it in advance, so it doesn't harden in the container. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add milk, cocoa, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook until the icing begins to thicken. Pour the icing over the cooled cake.
