Step cooking

Cooking cakes

1. To 380 g of sifted flour, add 250 g of butter at room temperature. Mix the ingredients to make a crumb.
   
2. Into the resulting mixture we introduce 1 egg and 200 g of sour cream and mix until smooth. The test should go out non-liquid and collect well in a lump. To thicken it if necessary, add a little more sifted flour.
   
3. We wrap the lump of dough in cling film and send it to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
   
4. After the specified time, we take the workpiece from the refrigerator and cut into portioned pieces.
   
5. Each piece is rolled out as thinly as possible on a sheet of parchment paper and using a baking ring we give a rounded shape. We use the rest of the dough for new cakes.
   
6. Bake the cakes in an oven preheated to 180ºC for about 10 minutes.
   

Cream

1. In a bowl, put 300 g of softened butter and whisk with a white mixer.
   
2. Gradually add the boiled condensed milk and mix thoroughly. If desired, add any grated nuts, cinnamon, coconut flakes and other culinary details.
   

We collect and decorate the cake

1. We wait until the cakes have cooled and begin to collect the cake. Set aside two cakes to create a powder.
   
2. Lubricate the cakes with a small amount of cream and spread one on top of the other.
   
3. Additionally, we lubricate the second, middle and penultimate shortcakes with any fruit or berry jam, which will give an additional sweet taste. After the last cake has been laid, we press the cake with some heavy object and keep it under pressure for 1 hour at room temperature. Next, we remove the cargo and send the cake in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
   
4. After that, align the sides of the cake, cutting them off, where necessary, with a knife.
   
5. We smear the remaining cream on the side surface and the top of the cake, sprinkle it with crumbs from two deposited cakes and taste it with chocolate icing, nuts, candied fruit, sprigs of mint, pastry topping or fruit.
