• 1 pack vanilla (2 grams)
• 1 teaspoon soda quench with vinegar 9%
• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup blackcurrant

• 3 packs of sour cream 15%, 450 grams
• 5 st. spoons of sugar

Prepare the ingredients for the cake. All ingredients must be at room temperature.

We take a bowl in which we will knead the cake, break 6 eggs into a bowl and add 1.5 cups of sugar, beat it all, you can use a mixer, or you can use a whisk.

Then I add one sachet of vanilla (2 gr.)

Now you need to extinguish the soda with vinegar. We collect a teaspoon of soda, pour it into a tablespoon and add one teaspoon of 9% vinegar.

Now I mix everything well with a whisk and gradually add flour, you need 2 cups of flour, add half a cup and stir the dough.

This is how my dough turned out. The consistency of the dough resembles thick sour cream.

Now we take a baking sheet. I line it with parchment paper. We will spread the dough on a baking sheet with a teaspoon, it is better not to spread it with a tablespoon, because there will be very large "leaves" for the "Fallen Leaves" cake. We spread our "leaves" at a distance of about 2-3 cm from each other.

We put the baking sheet with the dough in the oven preheated to 230 degrees, the dough is baked very quickly, about 7 minutes, make sure that it does not burn. Here are the first leaves ready.

Now spread a teaspoon on a baking sheet with more dough and put in the oven until all the dough is finished. That's how many "leaves" I got. To be honest, we did not count how many of them we got.

Now we are preparing the cream for the cake. I have sour cream in bags of 450 grams 15%. I pour sour cream into a bowl and add sugar, I add sugar 5 tablespoons for 3 packs, if you like sweet, you can add more sugar, just try the cream and if it seems not sweet to you, add sugar. Beat sour cream with a mixer until the sugar is completely dissolved, you can do this with a whisk. You can add a bag of vanilla sugar to sour cream.

Each "leaf" must be completely dipped in sour cream.

Now we decorate our cake by laying leaves in sour cream in layers on a dish. Plus, you can decorate the cake with berries, I have frozen blackcurrant, you can use pitted cherries or, for example, strawberries. The berry gives a certain sourness and piquancy to this cake. I spread a layer of "leaves" in sour cream and add black currants, it's also delicious with strawberries, I just didn't have strawberries in my freezer.

This is how we decorate the Fallen Leaves cake. This cake is somewhat reminiscent of a mountain of fallen autumn leaves.

Decorate the cake as you wish. For example, I sprinkle cocoa on all sides of the cake, you can grate chocolate on a fine grater and sprinkle the cake, I use white or dark chocolate, here someone likes it. You can decorate the cake with chopped nuts, such as walnuts, it is not only tasty, but also healthy. You will not only eat deliciously, but also get undeniable benefits from your cake. In general, show your imagination. The cake should soak for 12 hours.

Cake "Fallen Leaves" is prepared very quickly and simply and will delight you with its unusual taste. Good appetite.

Fallen Leaves Cake is a delicate and very unusual dessert. The delicacy is ideal for those who do not want to spend a lot of time preparing a delicious cake. Instead of a biscuit base, small pancakes are used here, which are stacked on a plate in a chaotic manner. Pancakes resemble leaflets - hence the original name of the cake.

Ingredients

Fallen Leaves cake recipe

First you need to prepare the base for the cake. Put the sour cream in a bowl and add beaten eggs and sugar to it. All components should be thoroughly mixed and left for 10-15 minutes to completely dissolve the sugar. In the resulting liquid mass, add soda, milk and gently pour in the flour. As a result, you should get a fairly viscous dough.

This dough is usually used to make pancakes. It is recommended to add cocoa powder to the mixed base and mix everything well again. You will get a light chocolate brown dough. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Divide the dough into small cakes and carefully place them on a baking sheet.

Shortbread cake - an original alternative to ordinary cakes Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. It is advisable to place pancakes at a distance of up to 5 cm from each other so that they do not stick together. To create a cream, beat sour cream with sugar in a blender until an airy mass is obtained. Add cocoa powder and mix again. Then take a separate plate and grate a bar of dark chocolate.

Prepare a large flat plate and place the shortbreads on it in random order. Dip each one in cream first. Sprinkle the finished cake with chocolate chips. Before serving, remove the cake for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. During this time, the cakes are saturated with cream, and the delicacy will acquire a rich taste.
