And all because the Curly Boy is very light and simple, but, despite the ease of preparation, it is tasty and beautiful.

The recipe for this cake came to me in the distant nineties. In those years, they baked and knew how to do it in almost every family. Probably because there wasn’t such an abundance of pastry in the shops, and the housewives baked cakes and pastries in their kitchens to indulge their families with something delicious. And the recipes of these masterpieces were written in notebooks with recipes and passed from mother to daughter. So, according to the recipe in the cake cakes is sour cream. Having tried the cake twice according to the original recipe, I decided to change the recipe for the cakes, and now I bake the curly lad only in this way, thereby lowering the price of the cake a bit and saving the sour cream for other purposes. See the recipe for the original recipe below, maybe someone also wants to try both versions of the cake.

And one more interesting observation about home baking from personal experience.
