Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the layers, mix 100 grams of sugar with 1 egg. Add 100 grams of sour cream, 100 grams of flour, a pinch of salt, and baking soda, which has been quenched with vinegar, along with 100 grams of chopped nuts. Mix everything well. Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 356°F for about 25–30 minutes. Check readiness with a toothpick. The next layer is made similarly to the first, but instead of nuts, add 100 grams of pre-soaked raisins. For the third layer, add pre-soaked poppy seeds. Cut the finished layers in half.

Step 2

For the custard, mix 2 eggs with 75 grams of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour, add 2.5 tablespoons of milk, and mix thoroughly. Pour the resulting mixture into the slightly warmed milk (250 ml), bring to a boil, and cook a little longer on low heat until the mixture thickens. Then add the butter and, if desired, beat with a mixer for a lighter texture.
