Cake with cherries on starch with sour cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   First of all, I turned on the oven to warm up at 170° (I have an electric one) on the top-bottom mode. Then I prepared a baking pan, covered the bottom of the pan with parchment, did not grease the sides with anything (I have a non-stick pan)

2. STEP 2

   

   Separated the whites from the yolks.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the yolks until white with 2 cups of sugar

4. STEP 4

   

   and beat the whites to stable peaks with a pinch of salt.

5. STEP 5

   

   Gradually add whipped whites to the beaten yolks in a bowl in small portions, gently mixing the dough from bottom to top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sifted the flour and cornstarch and mixed together. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in small portions, gently mixing the dough from bottom to top. The mass should remain airy; there is no need to knead the biscuit dough for a long time.

7. STEP 7

   

   Placed the dough in a baking dish with a diameter of 28 centimeters. Bake for about 30 - 40 minutes. I didn't open the oven while baking! I checked the readiness of the biscuit using a wooden skewer: it should be dry. I let the finished biscuit cool a little, took it out of the mold, and let it cool and rest.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the biscuit was cooling, I prepared the sour cream. Using a mixer, I mixed 20% fat sour cream with sugar, added vanilla sugar and sour cream thickener.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the cooled biscuit into two parts. I spread the bottom cake with cream, put frozen cherries on it, then covered it with the second cake and spread the cream over the entire cake. The sides of the cake were sprinkled with crushed biscuit crumbs, and the top was covered with chopped nuts. I hope you will enjoy. Bon appetit!
