   Pour gelatin mass into a plate with sour cream and sugar, stir.

    The first cake layer is with cocoa and nuts, brush with cream (if the cake crust is dry, you can pierce it with a fork so that the cream is absorbed).

11. STEP 11

    

    The second cake is with poppy seeds, brush with cream.

    The third cake layer – with cocoa – needs to be cut into cubes.

    Roll in cream.

    Then place it on the cake in a chaotic manner.

    To decorate, melt the chocolate in a water bath.

    Take the melted chocolate with a teaspoon and pour it over the cake in thin streams. I decorated the top with finely chopped marmalade (can be nuts). Place the cake in the refrigerator overnight for the cream to harden, but you can take it out after a couple of hours if necessary.

Vera, what a wonderful cake! Cocoa, nuts and sour cream, just a wonderful combination! I'm just wondering, do the cakes have time to soak in the cream? Doesn't it turn out dry? Or does it all depend on the thickness of the cream?

Thank you, Irisha. Yes, it really depends on the thickness of the cream whether it will be soaked in or not. Therefore, whoever will do it, pay attention to this. I missed this when describing the recipe.

What a beautiful name! Vera, and the appearance is impressive, a lot of white and chocolate, which simply creates a delicate and elegant look for the cake, poppy seeds on a white background look stunningly beautiful, and the taste of the cake should be pleasant, I always liked sour cream the most, it’s not so rich and absorbs well into the cakes that there is no need to soak them! Great!

I've made this cake twice already. The first time the cakes turned out thin due to the size of the mold. I bought a 22d springform pan and it turned out fine. Very, very tasty cake. What I like most about it is that there is no sweetness. When I made it the second time, I made a mistake with the amount of cream for the gelatin. I poured out the whole pack, and there was 200 ml. There was more cream, I just poured it into the mold. I put it in the refrigerator overnight and removed the split ring in the morning. The shape is perfectly smooth, the sides are completely covered with cream. I simply coated it with chocolate and decorated the top as in the recipe. BEAUTY!!! It took more than a day to soak well. If eaten early, the bottom crust is a little hard, but still very tasty. Thank you, Vera, you have such wonderful cakes. And the design is just superb!
