Cooking method

So, let's break down the recipe into several main steps:

1. Sift the flour through a sieve to make it lighter and more airy. In addition, this action will allow the flour to be saturated with oxygen, which ultimately affects the quality of baking.
2. Grate flour with baking powder, add beaten eggs and a little condensed milk (about half a jar).
3. Using a mixer, beat the ingredients to make the dough softer and more tender.
4. We divide the receivedmass into two halves.
5. Pour cocoa powder into one half, mix and send both parts to bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
6. We take out the finished cakes and give them a little time to cool.
7. Give a round shape to the chocolate cake, and cut the rest into diamonds and triangles.
8. The half without cocoa powder is also cut into squares, triangles and rhombuses.
9. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream with the rest of the condensed milk and beat the cream with a mixer.
10. Generously coat the chocolate cake with cream and pour a small layer of cherries.
11. Then add the chopped cake, pre-soaked in cream.
12. We form the so-called hat from the rest of the dough and cherries.
13. The last egg is beaten with a blender with sugar and flour.
14. Pour the resulting mixture with milk and add the broken chocolate bar.
15. Cook thick glaze and decorate the surface of the cake.

We remove the finished dessert in a cool place for 2-3 hours.
