How to make a classic sour cream cake? Prepare the ingredients. You can take a large bowl and cook all the dough at once. Or you can cook a separate batch of dough for each cake - choose what is better for you. Drive the eggs into a bowl. Pour in the sugar and vanillin. Using a blender, whisk the eggs for about 5 minutes to dissolve all the sugar crystals.

Add half a teaspoon of soda, sour cream to the bowl with the egg-sugar mixture and mix the mass well. Then pour in the sifted flour. And mix well again so that there are no lumps of flour left. Divide the dough into three equal parts.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. The form in which you will bake the cakes, brush with butter and sprinkle flour on the bottom and sides. Transfer the first part of the dough to the tin and send to the oven for about 40 minutes. Check the dough readiness with a wooden toothpick. If it comes out dry, then the dough baked well. Also bake a second cake. Determine the temperature and baking time by your oven.

Add cocoa powder to the third part of the dough. Stir the dough well.

Just like the previous two, bake a third, chocolate bark. Cool all the cakes. If necessary, level them up. You can cut off the tops and put them on biscuit crumbs.

Make sour cream. Transfer the sour cream to a deep whipping dish. Pour in the sugar. Using a blender, whisk the sour cream with sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved and there is a slight increase in volume.

Do cake assembly. Place the first (white) cake on a flat plate. Brush it generously with sour cream. Put the chocolate cake on top, also brush it with cream. Cover the cake with a third bark and brush the top and sides of the cake with cream.

You can decorate the cake with crumbs of dough trimmings or in a different way, at your discretion. You can leave the cake white, decorated with a few raspberry berries, grated chocolate and a sprig of mint. Sour cream and airy, tender sour cream cakes are delicious in their own right. Let the cake soak well (leave it in the fridge overnight). Serve to the table with tea or coffee. Have a nice tea party!
