Vanka curly

Cake with the taste of childhood for beginners! Vanka curly is a cake originally from the Soviet Union. These are times when there was no particular abundance of sweets in stores, and to prepare this simple cake based on biscuit and sour cream, a lot of products were not required, and the products were generally available. The cake received this name because Vanka was the most common name when the recipe for this cake was created, and “curly” because the pieces of dark sponge cake in sour cream look like curls.
