Prepare a dry biscuit mixture from flour, sugar, baking powder. The second crust is baked from a dough containing eggs, milk, flour and vegetable oil. Pour this blank into the dry mixture prepared for the biscuit. It is best to use a mixer to make the dough gooey and soft. Pour water brought to a boil into it. If you did everything correctly, then the dough will turn out to be viscous and thick.

To bake the cakes, take the round shape - the classic one for cakes. Heat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees and bake until tender, check whether the biscuit is ready with a skewer (the cakes are baked for a little over an hour).

While the cakes are baking, you will have time to make a cream: knead butter and pour condensed milk into it, add cocoa powder. Mix everything thoroughly and refrigerate.

Gently level the finished cake (if it has not risen quite evenly), cut off excess irregularities. Cut out the center, leaving the edge 2 cm wide, try not to make the "bottom" too thin.

Delicious cake, you can make it in two and a half hours. The work is not difficult, so be sure to try it - you will love it!

To make a cake, you need the following ingredients:

To prepare the dough:

• Wheat flour of the highest grade - 500 g
• Sour cream - 200 g
• Granulated sugar - 200 g
• Cocoa powder
• Butter - 200 g
• Baking powder

For sour cream

• Sour cream - 200 g
• Granulated sugar - 200 g
• Walnuts - 100 g

For praline cream

• Butter - 100 g
• Condensed milk - 100 g

For praline mass

• Almonds - 100 g
• Walnuts - 100 g
• Granulated sugar - 100 g
• Cocoa powder

Start by preparing the praline mass. You can choose its color yourself - the more cocoa powder, the darker the mass turns out.

Scald the almonds with boiling water, drain and rinse with cold water, remove the husk. Lightly fry the walnuts in a pan and also remove the husks. Crush nuts and almonds, add sugar, stirring until golden brown. As a result, a sticky sweet mass is formed, pour it onto a plate and cool. You will get some kind of roasted candies.

When the mass has cooled, break it into pieces and grind in a coffee grinder, add a little cocoa powder. The finished brown powder with an incredibly pleasant aroma is the praline mass, you can store it in a closed jar.

Cook the dough in a fairly deep bowl - mix the softened butter with sugar, add sour cream and baking powder, half of the flour intended for the dough and mix thoroughly.

Divide the resulting mass into two parts. Pour cocoa powder into one, mix again. Now spread the rest of the flour evenly between the brown and white dough. There are two fairly elastic balls of dough that radiate, each must be divided into three parts - on the table in front of you there will be six balls of dough of two colors.

The dough is quite sticky and it is unrealistic to roll it out with a rolling pin, then we do all the work with our hands. We just stretch each piece of dough along the width of the mold, you can put it on foil. Bake each cake separately. The time for baking one cake is about 7-10 minutes. The temperature in the oven is 200 degrees. To make the cakes even without bubbles, pierce them in several places with a fork.

Until each cake has cooled down, try to give it an even shape - cut off the edges, after cooling the cake will crumble.

Making sour cream. Pour sugar into the sour cream and beat all the time so that all the sugar grains are completely dissolved.

Start with a white crust - put it in the center of a plate, brush with sour cream, sprinkle with crushed nuts on top, then brown crust - cream, and so on. The top cake, after you have collected the cake, is brown, you do not need to cover it with cream.

To make the cake soaked in cream, place the cake blank in the refrigerator.

After a few hours, you can start preparing the butter cream - gently mix the condensed milk with butter, add two tablespoons of the praline mass, mix.

Smear the sides and top with butter cream and praline mass, you can sprinkle the whole cake with crumbs made from scraps of cakes, you can pour rings of coconut and grated chocolate in the center of the cake - here every hostess is able to show her imagination.
