Chocolate eggs - 5 pieces
Wheat Flour - 21.2 oz
Vanilla salt - 3 teaspoons
Vinegar essence - 1 teaspoon
Activated Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon
Salt - to taste
Grapefruits - to taste
Condensed Milk - 1 can
Custard - to taste

Nuts - to taste
Cocoa Powder - 3.5 oz
Semolina - 3.5 oz
Raisins - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the dough for the layers. Beat the eggs with sugar. Add sour cream and a little salt, mix well. Add 200 grams of melted butter. Quench the baking soda in vinegar and add to the mixture. Add flour and raisins or nuts, mix the dough. It should be moderately thick, about the consistency of pancake batter.

Step 2

From the resulting amount of dough, you can bake 3 good layers. If you plan to include a chocolate layer, mix 1/3 of the dough with cocoa in a separate bowl.

Step 3

Grease the baking pan with a small amount of melted butter, then sprinkle with semolina — this will prevent your layer from burning and make it easy to remove. Pour the dough for the first layer into the baking pan. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (until golden, but not brown) at 356°F.

Step 4

Prepare the custard cream (see the preparation method on the package), which will soak our layers, and the cream made from condensed milk and butter (c+m) will give the taste of a real festive 'birthday' cake, made by mixing the remaining butter with the condensed milk. If you don't have custard cream 'on hand', be sure to soak the cake with sour cream mixed with sugar.

Step 5

Cut the fruits (bananas, kiwi, strawberries, any berries) as you wish and place them on the layer immediately after soaking it with both creams (in the order: custard-c+m-Fruits, again c+m). Do not spread anything on the top layer!

Step 6

Once all the layers are assembled, let the cake cool, prepare the chocolate glaze, and pour it over the cake. If you plan to sprinkle something on the cake, do it before the glaze hardens. Leave the treat in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours. Ideally, let it soak for a little more than a day.
