Curly Pancho Cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a Curly Pancho cake? Start by preparing the crust dough. Take the highest grade flour. Also take high-quality cocoa. Cocoa should have a rich color. Sour cream should not be watery, with a fat content of 20%.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam. Due to the use of condensed milk, you can add less sugar.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sour cream and condensed milk and beat until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the sifted flour with baking powder in parts, beating at low speed. While whisking, add lemon juice. The dough should not be thick and not too liquid, like sour cream. If necessary, adjust the amount of flour up or down.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour one third of the dough into a parchment-lined pan (Ø 22-24 cm) and place in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cool the cake.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add sifted cocoa to the remaining dough and beat until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bake the chocolate cake for about 40 minutes until dry.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cool the finished chocolate cake and cut into medium pieces.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now prepare the cream. Use thick and fatty sour cream for it. Ideally - 30%.

11. STEP 11

    

    Beat cold, full-fat sour cream with sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Set aside a little cream for the final filling of the cake.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the white cake on the dish. Dip pieces of chocolate cake into sour cream and place in a heap on the base. Pour the remaining sour cream on top. Place the cake in the refrigerator.

13. STEP 13

    

    While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting.

14. STEP 14

    

    Break the chocolate into pieces, combine in a saucepan with cream. Stirring, melt the chocolate over low heat. You should get a flowing, slightly viscous, homogeneous glaze.

15. STEP 15

    

    For convenience, transfer the glaze into a pastry bag and cut off the tip. You can use an ordinary spoon when pouring glaze over the cake, but the web from a pastry bag turns out neater and more beautiful.

16. STEP 16

    

    Drizzle chocolate glaze over the cake and refrigerate overnight. Bon appetit!

Incredibly delicious Curly Pancho cake! And its name is beautiful. I prepared it a little differently than the author - I cut both types of sponge cake. It seemed to me that the cake would be juicier this way. Although maybe I'm wrong.
