Ladyfinger Cake with Sour Cream Frosting

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
Butter - 4.6 oz
Farm fresh eggs - 5 pieces
Salt - a pinch
Sour Cream - 15.9 oz
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 10 fl oz
Chocolate - 3.5 oz
Thickener for Sour Cream - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour through a sieve and add salt. In a pot, bring the butter and water to a boil, then immediately add the flour to the boiling water, mixing with a mixer until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pot. Once the dough cools, add the eggs and knead well until smooth. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F, placing a pot of water on the bottom rack of the oven to create steam.

Step 3

Grease a baking sheet with butter and line it with parchment paper.

Step 4

Take a pastry bag (or a very sturdy plastic bag with a hole cut in it) and transfer the dough. Squeeze out thin strips about 6–7 centimeters long.

Step 5

Bake in the oven until the ladyfingers are golden, then cool.

Step 6

Make the frosting. Whip the sour cream with sugar, then add the thickener to the sour cream and mix.

Step 7

Dip the ladyfingers in the sour cream frosting and arrange them on a plate in a mound, drizzling with more sour cream frosting. Sprinkle the finished mound with grated chocolate.
