How to make a Soviet Day and Night cake with sour cream at home? Let's start with the manufacture of light cakes. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. The number of ingredients is calculated for a mold diameter of 20-21 cm.

Break four eggs into a deep container and pour in the salt. It is desirable that they be at room temperature. Choose the dough preparation container taking into account the fact that the mass will add well in volume, i. e. with a decent margin. Wash the eggs in running water with soda before use, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.

The secret to the success of the lush biscuit is well-beaten eggs. Don't spare any time for that. Start whisking the eggs with a mixer. The duration of the process is approximately 5 minutes. After the time has elapsed, without turning off the mixer, start pouring 1 spoon of granulated sugar until you introduce all the sugar. In total, the mixer will work for about 10 minutes. As a result, it should be very airy, but at the same time quite dense mass.

Add the flour sifted through the sieve to the dough. It must be sifted, and it is better not one, but several times. You need to intervene the dry ingredient very carefully, taking your time so that the mass does not lose its airiness. It is convenient to do this with a silicone spatula. It is enough to bring the mass to homogeneity, and get rid of lumps. Flour may need a little less or more. The dough should turn out like thick sour cream.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees beforehand. Put the parchment paper on the bottom of the baking dish. There is no need to lubricate the walls with anything, this will help the biscuit rise better. Put the dough in the tin, and place to bake. The oven cannot be opened during baking. After about 40 minutes, check the biscuit for readiness by piercing it with a toothpick. If she came out dry - the biscuit is ready. The baking time is approximately indicated, focus on your oven.

After the baking process is over, let the sponge stand in the shape of 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a rack top-down for complete cooling. It is advisable to let the biscuit infuse for at least 4 hours, then it will become more pliable and easily cut.

Prepare all the necessary ingredients to make dark cakes. The cooking method is no different from the previous one. The only difference is the addition of cocoa. Reduce the amount of flour by the amount of cocoa.

In the step of interfering with dry ingredients, do not forget that cocoa should also be sifted, this will break possible lumps in it. Before introducing the bulk ingredients into the dough, mix the flour and cocoa. Introduce the cocoa flour gradually, not all at once.

How to make cake cream Day and night? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. There are only three of them. To make the cream thick and not spread sour cream, choose with a high percentage of fat content - from 25%. If sour cream is less fat, then be sure to transfer it to a sieve lined with gauze and put it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to get rid of excess liquid and achieve good density.

Beat the chilled sour cream with a mixer, gradually pouring sugar sand. Add vanillin at the tip of the knife as more will give the dish a bitterness. The whipping time should take minutes 8 to completely dissolve the sugar. The amount of sugar can be reduced or vice versa increased, if desired. The result is an air, but quite strong mass. Put the cream in the fridge for half an hour, covering with cling film.

Cake assembly. Cut our biscuits into cakes. How many pieces to cut decide for yourself. Here you need to build on the height of the finished product. I decided to make two cakes of light and only one dark so that the cake would not turn out too high.

Each cake is alternately greased with a thick layer of cream, forming a cake. Do not forget to also pay attention to the sides and top.

Grind the scraps from the cakes into crumbs (I used a blender for these purposes), and use the crumbs to decorate. Let the classic biscuit cake Day and Night brew and soak well. He will need about 6 hours of time for this. Or it is better to leave the cake to insist on the night, and already in the morning it will simply melt in the mouth. Enjoy your meal!
