Products for cooking cakes. Flour must be sifted. Nuts - scrape and peel from the shell, or you can buy already peeled and save time. Then the nuts need to be fried in a hot pan without oil until slightly ruddy, but do not get carried away: if the nuts are overexposed, the cakes will acquire an unpleasant smell and taste of burnt.

We start the preparation of cakes by melting, stirring, butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

The fried nuts are passed through a meat grinder or crushed in a blender. In a deep bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, add the ground nuts, mix everything thoroughly.

In another container, beat the eggs a little with a mixer, add sugar, beat further until a thick foam forms.

Add sour cream to the egg mixture, mix.

Then we pour in the cooled melted butter, mix everything thoroughly.

Pour the dry nut and flour mixture into the egg mixture in parts, stirring thoroughly each time so that there are no lumps. The dough for the cakes turns out to be quite thick.

We cover the baking tin with parchment paper, grease with butter. Put 3-4 spoons of dough on paper with a tablespoon and level it.

Bake the corgi in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden. In total, there should be 5-6 cakes. Let the cakes cool to room temperature, then remove the parchment paper from them carefully (in a hot form, the cakes break).

While the cakes are baking, we prepare a cream from the prepared products: beat the boiled condensed milk with softened butter. Add sour cream and mix thoroughly until smooth. We put it in the refrigerator so that the cream acquires a denser consistency, i. e. it becomes thicker.

On a dish, lay out cooled cakes on top of each other, interbedding them with a slightly chilled cream.

Grease the sides and top of the cake with cream. We decorate the top of the cake at will.

You can sprinkle it with crumbs from cakes, crushed waffles or chocolate. Any nuts or seeds, coconut chips. The cake must be left in a warm place for an hour so that the cake is soaked in cream. The cake will become even tastier if it is then cooled. If you have time, leave it in the fridge for 8-10 hours. Now call your family or guests to a tea party with a very delicious cake.
