Today we baked Fallen Leaves cake. Delicate, light, the cake turned out and, as always, I want to share the recipe with you. Cake "Fallen Leaves" is very easy to prepare, the products for its preparation are all available. A very tasty cake, especially when it is soaked with cream. And even if it is not very chic in appearance, but after tasting it, you will forget about everything. And you can decorate the cake with your ingenuity and imagination.

Cake Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups sugar
• 6 eggs
• 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 each 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 of more dough on a baking sheet 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 5 tablespoons of sugar for 3 packs, if you like sweets, 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. Enjoy your meal.

But don't be discouraged if you haven't already done so. I myself had a completely ordinary 15% fat sour cream, straight from the pack. What I did to thicken it: I took gelatin on the tip of a teaspoon (1/6 of a teaspoon approximately) and diluted it in water at room temperature (about 1.5-2 teaspoons). Before preparing the cream, I slightly heated the mixture so that the granules that did not dissolve in 10 minutes finally melted. This mixture was poured into sour cream. The cream is thick and easy to use.

So, pour powdered sugar into sour cream, a little vanillin and, if necessary, a thickener for sour cream or gelatin diluted in water. At low speed of the mixer, mix all the ingredients well until a homogeneous lush mass is obtained.

10) It is convenient to lay out the remaining layers by dipping the "leaves" into the cream as a whole - this saves time and allows you to lubricate everything evenly.

11) Arrange the "fallen leaves" so that they close the voids between each other, forming more or less uniform layers.

Despite the ease of preparation, the Fallen Leaves cake turns out to be tender, soft and very tasty. This dessert got such an unusual name due to the fact that it is based not on an ordinary biscuit, but on small shortcakes, which are baked in the form of thin circles, similar to leaves, randomly laid out on a dish. To understand exactly how this delicacy is made, we will present to your attention its step-by-step method of creating it.

Delicate cake "Fallen leaves": photo, recipe

To make such a treat for a birthday, anniversary or any other holiday, you need to stock up on the following ingredients in advance:

• thick sour cream 30% fat - 360 g;
• fresh milk - a full glass;
• white sugar sand - 300 g;
• sifted light flour - 3 cups;
• small chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• table soda - a small spoon (be sure to quench with apple cider vinegar);
• cocoa powder - 2 large spoons.

Base preparation

Cake "Fallen Leaves" on sour cream should be started by kneading a semi-liquid dough. To do this, put the sour cream in a bowl, and then add small beaten chicken eggs and white granulated sugar to it. All these components should be mixed well and left aside for a quarter of an hour so that the loose sweet ingredient dissolves as much as possible. Next, in the resulting liquid mass, it is necessary to extinguish the table soda with apple cider vinegar, pour in the milk and pour in the sifted white flour. As a result of such actions, you should get a viscous base, reminiscent of pancake dough.

To make the Fallen Leaves cake more beautiful in a section, experienced chefs recommend resorting to the following trick: the mixed base must be divided into two equal parts, one of which should be filled with cocoa powder. After long mixing, you should get a dough of light and dark chocolate color. What to do with it in the future, you will learn a little lower.

Baking biscuits in the oven

In total, the Fallen Leaves cake is cooked for about two hours. But, believe me, the time and effort spent will be fully justified. After all, such a delicate dessert will not leave you or your family members indifferent.

So, after kneading the base, you should proceed to its heat treatment. To do this, you need to take a large sheet of parchment or a baking sheet, and then line its surface with parchment paper. If you do not have it in stock, then it is better to purchase. Otherwise, you will have to bake cakes using vegetable oil, which will certainly affect the taste of the future delicacy.

Thus, a viscous base in the form of small cakes should be laid out on baking paper with a large spoon. Moreover, it is desirable to place light or chocolate shortcakes at a distance of 3-4 centimeters from the sides and each other. This is due to the fact that during the baking process they will rise and become more magnificent.

It takes about 30-37 minutes to cook biscuit cakes in the oven, after which they must be carefully removed from the paper and cooled completely.

Required cream ingredients

The Fallen Leaves cake, the recipe of which we are considering, will be much softer and more tender if the cream for it is made liquid. In this regard, for the preparation of such a filling, we decided to use the following components:

• fresh sour cream 30% fat - 300 ml;
• powdered sugar - 1 cup;
• cocoa powder - 1.5 large spoons;
• without nuts and other inclusions - a large tile (to decorate the dessert).

Cream making process

First you need to put thick fat sour cream into the blender bowl, and then beat it strongly at maximum speed. Next, it is necessary to pour powdered sugar into the airy milk mass and repeat the mixing process again. By the way, the cream, like the dough, can be divided into two parts and pour cocoa powder into one of them. In addition, it is recommended to coarsely grate a bar of chocolate into a separate plate.

Dessert shaping

To beautifully form the “Fallen Leaves” cake, you should take a flat large plate and randomly put light shortcakes on it. Next, they must be generously greased with white sour cream and the biscuit is placed again, but already it must be covered in the same way with a dark filling. These actions should be performed before the end of the cakes and cream. At the end, the cake must be completely doused with sweet airy sour cream (white or in combination with dark). As a decoration, the finished dessert needs to be sprinkled with large chocolate chips.

Proper serving of homemade cakes to the table

The shaped and decorated cake should be placed in the refrigerator and kept in it for about two hours. During this time, small shortbreads will completely absorb the sour cream, become very soft and tender. Serve such a delicacy to the table with hot tea or coffee. Bon appetit!
