Step by Step guide

Step 1

To prepare the filling, beat 2 egg yolks in a saucepan, adding concentrated milk, sugar, and salt in small portions, and place over low heat. When the mixture thickens, continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add shredded coconut and vanillin. Finely chop the walnuts and add them to the cream.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 356°F. Finely chop the chocolate, add coffee and cocoa, and pour boiling water over it. When the chocolate melts, stir the mixture and let it cool.

Step 3

Grease 2 baking pans with butter, line with parchment paper, and dust with flour.

Step 4

Mix the flour and baking soda. Beat the butter, both types of sugar, and salt at medium speed. Then increase the speed and beat for a little longer (2–3 minutes). The mixture should become airy.

Step 5

Reduce the speed and add the eggs one at a time. Incorporate the vanillin and chocolate mixture. Add the sour cream in small portions. Knead the dough by hand. Divide and place it in the pan. Bake for 30 minutes. When the layers cool, remove them from the pan. Cut each layer.

Step 6

Place one layer on a plate, spread cream on it, cover with the next layer, and add cream. Repeat the process until all layers are used. The top should have cream, and sprinkle with walnuts.
