Cake "Bears in the North"

Ingredients

Kefir - 1 cup
Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
Activated Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 1½ cups
Butter - 3.5 oz
Wheat Flour - 1½ cups
Sour Cream - 26.5 oz
Vanilla salt - to taste
Cocoa Powder - ½ cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the butter in the freezer.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the kefir and baking soda with a mixer. Add the eggs and sugar. Mix well.

Step 3

Grate the frozen butter and add it to the batter. Also add cocoa and flour — mix everything thoroughly.

Step 4

Bake two layers from the resulting batter. Each layer should be cut in half lengthwise, resulting in 4 layers.

Step 5

While the layers are baking, prepare the cream. Mix the sour cream well with vanilla sugar and granulated sugar, then refrigerate.

Step 6

When the layers are ready, place the thickest layer on a plate — it will soak better than the others. Spread a moderate amount of cream on it. Continue layering: layer — cream — layer — cream. Don’t be stingy with the cream; the more you use, the better the layers will soak. You can decorate the top with remaining crumbs or nuts — to taste.
