Description

If you are using a non-removable mold, grease the bottom and sides with butter and lightly sprinkle them with semolina. This will make it easier to remove the finished sponge cake. If you find the cream not sweet enough, add powdered sugar or sugar syrup to taste.

Ingredients

Sugar - 1 cup
Sour Cream - 7.1 oz
Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Farm fresh eggs - 2 pieces
Dark Chocolate Glaze Dr.Oetker - 5 tablespoons
Vodka - ½ cup
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Chocolate - 7.1 oz
Butter - 8.8 oz
Condensed Milk - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat the eggs with sugar. Add condensed milk (100 g), sour cream, and beat for 3 minutes. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and cocoa (4 tablespoons) into a large bowl. Combine the whipped mixture with the flour. Mix gently from the bottom up.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Grease a 25 cm baking pan with butter. Pour the batter into it, place it in the oven, and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the sponge cake is baking, prepare the cream. Beat the softened butter (150 g) with cocoa (2 teaspoons) using a mixer until smooth (1 minute). Pour in the condensed milk (100 g) and beat for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the finished sponge cake from the oven. Place the pan on a damp towel and cover it with a dry one. Let it cool. Once cooled, remove the sponge cake from the pan and cut it into 3 equal layers. Soak the layers with vodka. Spread cream on top of two layers. Stack them on top of each other and cover with the third layer. Do not spread cream on the top layer.

Step 5

Break the chocolate into small pieces, place them in a heatproof dish, add butter (100 g), and set over a pot of boiling water. When the chocolate melts, coat the top and sides of the cake with it. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Step 6

Also place the dish with the remaining melted chocolate in the refrigerator. Once the chocolate hardens, scrape it together with a small knife. Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings made from the leftover chocolate.
