Sour cream cake Monastic hut with cherries

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a Monastic Hut cake with cherries according to the classic recipe? First of all, let’s prepare the necessary products.

2. STEP 2

   

   Let's start preparing the cake with the dough. If you have a food processor with blades, then preparing the dough will only take a few minutes, just put all the ingredients for the dough into the bowl and mix, but my food processor has been refusing to work lately, so I kneaded it by hand. To do this, sift 3 cups of flour into a bowl and grind the butter and flour until it becomes fine crumbs (take the butter straight from the refrigerator).

3. STEP 3

   

   Lightly beat the egg with sugar; you don’t have to add it, but then increase the amount of sour cream. Add sour cream and egg with sugar to butter crumbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Knead the dough

5. STEP 5

   

   If the dough turns out too tight, add a little sour cream, and if sticky, add flour, focus on the dough itself, it should be soft, not too tight, wrap the kneaded dough in film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is resting, place the pitted cherries (or frozen or canned) on a sieve; if they are sour, then add a couple of tablespoons of sugar, go by the taste and leave to let the excess juice drain.

7. STEP 7

   

   We take our dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into several pieces. Roll out the piece into a layer about 3 mm thick.

8. STEP 8

   

   We adjust the layer to the size of the future tubes.

9. STEP 9

   

   We cut the layer into strips for tubes about 4-5 cm wide (the dimensions depend on the size of the berry).

10. STEP 10

    

    On each strip we place a berry in one row and pinch the edges (if the dough breaks somewhere, it’s okay).

11. STEP 11

    

    We place our tubes on the deco (I got 21 tubes from this amount of dough) and bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for about 15 minutes, until lightly golden.

12. STEP 12

    

    Let our tubes cool and make the sour cream.

13. STEP 13

    

    For the cream, I used full-fat homemade sour cream; it can be replaced with heavy cream.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add sugar and vanilla sugar to the sour cream and beat lightly until the sugar dissolves.

15. STEP 15

    

    When the sticks have cooled completely, we begin to assemble the cake.

16. STEP 16

    

    First, put a spoonful of cream on the dish and spread it, this is so that the tubes do not run away from the dish.

17. STEP 17

    

    Now we lay out 6 tubes and grease them with sour cream on top, then 5 tubes and again with cream, etc., assemble the pyramid.

18. STEP 18

    

    When the pyramid is assembled, smooth the sides using the remaining cream and decorate the top with a mixture of ground nuts and grated chocolate. Let the cake soak for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.

19. STEP 19

    

    The cake is ready! Bon appetit!

My version of the Monastic Hut cake with sour cream) Instead of the usual tubes folded into a house, I decided to “make the hut round”😊. The tubes miraculously curled up like a snail and 4 cakes came out, which I coated with fluffy sour cream. And in combination with the sourness of cherries in their own juice - it’s a bomb! Everything ingenious is simple! Be sure to bake, brew delicious tea and spend a warm autumn evening with your family or friends ❤️

Thank you very much for the detailed recipe and description! My cake turned out wonderful looking! Yesterday I baked it for my son’s birthday, he turned 25. He came to visit, saw this cake and said: “I’ll take this miracle with me and treat it to my friends.” I called today and enthusiastically told how his friends ate it on both cheeks and praised him. They said that they had never eaten anything tastier. My son's friends are multinational: German, Pole, Greek, Spaniard and Turk. And everyone liked everything. I think that says a lot! It’s a pity that we weren’t able to try it ourselves, but that’s it for now... I’ll definitely bake this Monastic Hut cake again! Health and strength to you
