Food poppy - 10 gr, Wheat flour - 350 gr, Butter - 200 gr, Sour cream - 100 gr, Baking powder - 0.5 gr, Butter - 200 gr, Condensed milk - 350 gr, Vanillin - 1 gr

Let's make the ingredients for the cake. The cooking process is so fast that you can immediately turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. Margarine as a cheaper product or butter as a more natural one should be removed from the refrigerator in advance so that it is at room temperature, if there is no time to soften butter in natural conditions, then you can put it in the microwave for 1 minute to warm up.

We put the softened butter in a deep bowl. Add sour cream, baking powder. It can be replaced with vinegar-slaked soda. Pour in the sifted wheat flour. Flour may need a little more or less in contrast to the amount indicated in the ingredients, since the density and quality of flour from different manufacturers are different.

Mix the ingredients, rub the flour with butter into crumbs. The dough should be soft, but dense, not viscous.

We put the sand crumbs on a baking sheet and send them to the oven. As a rule, the dough at the edges of the baking sheet begins to brown faster than in the middle, so after 7 minutes we remove the baking sheet from the oven and mix the dough so that it does not bake in one large layer, the sand crumbs must be separate balls.

Again we put a baking sheet with dough in the oven and bring it to readiness. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet with dough from the oven, let the dough cool right on the baking sheet so that the sand crumbs become firm and crisp.

Meanwhile, prepare the cake cream. Butter should be soft.

We cook condensed milk or buy ready-cooked condensed milk, the first option, of course, is better, a natural finished product is obtained. Beat the softened butter with condensed milk until you have a cream that is homogeneous in consistency, add a pinch of vanillin, mix.

Pour the sand crumbs into a bowl of cream and mix them together well so that the cream completely covers all the dough. Put the mass on a flat plate, giving it the shape of an anthill.

Top with poppy, imitating a real anthill with ants, decorate with berries. The cake is ready. Let it cool and soak in the refrigerator and serve it to the table with tea. Have a nice tea party!
