Ekaterina cake is one of the simplest desserts, but this does not affect its taste in any way. Let us consider in detail the recipe for making cakes, cream and cake in general. In addition, we will analyze relevant tips and tricks.

• baking powder for dough - 1 tsp;
• medium % fat sour cream - 300 g;
• cocoa powder - 5 tbsp. l.;
• walnut - 100 g;
• food poppy - 1 tsp

The amount of ingredients is calculated for the preparation of 12 servings of dessert. The amount of one or another component can vary slightly, depending on taste preferences. For example, you can add cocoa but reduce the amount of sugar.

Cream Ingredients

As you know, the cake consists not only of a dough base, but also of a sweet cream filling. For making creamrequired:

• gelatin - 20 g;
• sugar - 180 g;
• fat cream - 100 g;

Cooking cakes

Make cakes as follows:

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl. Beat with a mixer, gradually adding granulated sugar

Pour sour cream into bowl with eggs and whisk again

Sift flour and add baking powder for dough

Mix flour with eggs until smooth. Divide into 3 parts and spread in different containers

Add cocoa and walnuts to the first container. Mix thoroughly

Add cocoa to the second container, but without nuts

• Pour the poppy seeds into the third container, mix thoroughly.

• The form in which we plan to bake the cake "Catherine" is covered with parchment paper, greased with oil. We pour the dough. There should be 3 cakes in total. Each of them must be baked for 15 minutes.

Important! The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees. You should also take into account its power: the cooking time may vary depending on this indicator.

Preparing cream

Preparing cream:

• Put gelatin in a deep bowl. Add cream, mix and leave to swell.
• Put sour cream in another container, add sugar. Also leave until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• As soon as the gelatin swells, transfer it to a saucepan and put it on a slow fire. It is important that the gelatin dissolves. Boiling is not advisable!
• Pour the mass with gelatin into a container with sour cream and mix thoroughly.

Assembling the cake

And finally:

• The first cake, which includes nuts, grease with cooked cream.
• We do the same with the product, which includes poppy seeds.
• Cut the remaining cake into small cubes. Roll them in the rest of the cream.
• Spread the cubes in cream on the cake.
• Pour the resulting cake with the remaining cream.
• Take the chocolate and melt it in a water bath. Pour over the cake in a chaotic manner (you can make a drawing or an inscription).
• Decorate the cake with marmalade or nuts to your taste.
• Send the "Catherine" cake to the refrigerator until the cream is completely solidified.

Tips & Tricks

In conclusion, it is worth presenting a few tips:

• If the cream turned out to be too liquid, the cakes should be placed in a special detachable form - this way the cream will not spread.
• The detachable form also allows you to create cakes in the form of various shapes: a circle, a rectangle, a heart.
• If desired, you can make more cakes and add additional ingredients. For example, maple or caramel syrup, white chocolate. In the photo, the cake "Catherine" with a standard design.
