The homemade "Trukhlyavy Pny" cake with jam is fondly remembered from childhood by many. Interestingly, the method of assembling the cake could vary in different families, but the essence remained the same. That is, the layers were prepared with kefir and jam, but the way the cake was formed differed among housewives. Some adhered to the classic version, where the layers were simply smeared with cream and stacked. The "stump" effect was rather conditional and was achieved by carelessly sprinkling chopped nuts around the edges of the dessert. However, there was also a more interesting method of assembling the cake, where thin layers smeared with cream were laid vertically on a plate, tightly coiled from the center in a spiral. And that’s when you got the real "Trukhlyavy Pny", although unbelievably delicious. Want to try making such a cake? We have already prepared a detailed recipe especially for you!

The most delicate “Lady fingers” cake with sour cream is one of the popular homemade desserts of the Soviet era. Back then, delicious cakes were very rare in bakeries, and our grandmothers baked them at home, copying recipes by hand, and achieved great confectionery heights in their preparation. Many people remember family tea parties on holidays with pieces of homemade “Honeycakes”, “Napoleons”, “Drunken Cherries” melting in the mouth. And the “Lady Fingers” cake was baked by the most experienced cooks, since it was made from choux pastry, which not everyone knew how to make. Today, when both shops and fashionable pastry shops are full of all kinds of desserts, people are suddenly overtaken by nostalgia, and homemade cakes are again at the peak of popularity. Let's try to bake this little masterpiece!

Poppy seed cake with sour cream frosting is a delicious dessert that you can easily prepare at home with our step-by-step recipe. The poppy seeds added to the batter give the sponge cake a pleasant aftertaste. And the cream made from rich sour cream well soaks the layers, making their flavor more intense. For baking the sponge cake, you can use a silicone, metal springform pan, or a culinary ring. It’s best to use a small diameter, around 18 cm. This way, the cake will turn out tall. The finished dessert can be decorated with cake crumbs, which is very simple—cut a thin golden crust from the top of the layer and crush it with a blender or just with your hands.
