6 hours

The basis of the cake is bark, and in the case of this cake, ordinary vanilla crackers. Fold the crackers into a blender bowl and grind into fine, homogeneous crumbs. Add walnuts, prunes and dried apricots. If the dried fruits are too dry, you can first fill them with boiling water so that they soften. We work out the crumbs from crackers together with prunes, nuts and chicken again. It should turn into a completely homogeneous mass without lumps. At this stage, you can slightly diversify the taste by adding other dried fruits, for example, figs, dates, etc. Combine chocolate (70 gr) and butter (70 gr) in a deep bowl. Melt it in butter in stages of 30 seconds, each time it is necessary to stir the mass. You can also melt butter and chocolate in the oven or in a water bath. Add the liquid chocolate mixture to the crumb of crackers and dried fruits, mix well until homogeneous. The base for cakes is ready, we leave it on the table and deal with cream. A light but rich curd and sour cream will perfectly complement sweet and delicious cakes. Put sour cream, sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl. Stir with a spatula until homogeneous, leave until the sugar dissolves. Soak gelatin in water and leave to swell. Beat sour cream with sugar at low speeds, add cottage cheese and beat again until homogeneous creamy. We heat gelatin a little in the microwave, stir and add it to the cream, beat it with a mixer again. Collecting the finished cake is easiest in the ring, making it with pre-film. Pour a little crumbs from crackers into the bottom, press a little with a spoon, lubricate with cream. Next, again crumb, cream and alternate for now, the components will not end. We finish with a layer of crumbs. Without removing the ring, we remove the cake into the refrigerator for 5 hours. When the cake has already insisted a little, mix the remaining butter, chocolate in a plate and add milk. Melt the mixture, mix until homogeneous and pour the cake. Immediately after, you can remove the ring, remove the film, cut the cake into pieces and serve. Enjoy your meal!
