Cake Black prince

Prepare all the ingredients for making the Black Prince cake.

Melt the butter in the microwave or in a double boiler. Let it cool slightly so that the eggs beaten into the butter do not coagulate.

Beat the eggs and add sugar to the mixture with the melted butter, as well as kefir, and start whisking.

Beat all the ingredients together until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder and cocoa, and mix well.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture and beat. The batter should slowly drip from the spoon. If it is too liquid, add a little flour to thicken it.

Use a removable baking pan for the cake sponge, line the bottom with parchment paper, and grease the sides with butter.

Pour the batter into the pan and let it rest for a while in a warm place. Then put it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 50-60 minutes.

Before opening the mold, cool down the finished base.

Open the completely cooled mold and remove the sponge cake.

Cut it into two or three parts, excluding the top crust. When cutting the cake into layers, use a sharp knife with a thin blade. This will help you make even and neat cuts. And the Black Prince cake will not only be delicious, but also beautiful.

Break the top crust into pieces. We will need it to make the cake crumble.

Mix sour cream with powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Do not use low-fat sour cream, as it may not whip.

If you prefer the cake to be not very sweet, gradually add powdered sugar to the sour cream and butter cream, checking its sweetness at each stage. Adjust sweetness according to your taste.

Put a mixing bowl with the cream in the freezer along with the beaters for 10 minutes, so that the mixture can be whipped better. Whip the cream and carefully combine it with the sour cream part of the cream.

Prepare the cake layers and cream for assembling the Black Prince cake. If you want the cake to be more moist, you can soak the layers with a sweet syrup. For example, mix equal parts of sugar and water, heat it until the sugar is completely dissolved, and let it cool before using. Drizzle each layer with this syrup before applying the cream.

Spread the first layer with cream and cover it with the second layer.

Spread a thick layer of cream on both layers, covering them from all sides.

Grate the chocolate on a grater.

Crush the top crust of the biscuit finely and mix it together with the grated chocolate. The topping for the Black Prince cake is ready.

Cover the cake from all sides and let it soak for several hours in the refrigerator. In addition to the topping made from the biscuit lid and grated chocolate, you can decorate the cake according to your preference. Add fresh berries, chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or edible flowers. And the chocolate and biscuit topping is a classic. The Black Prince cake is ready. By the way, you can prepare it in advance. It is stored well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, while the taste and quality will also be preserved. Enjoy your meal.
