Description

The recipe initially seemed to me not too interesting, but decided to prepare for the competition. And the result was unexpectedly very decent. The cake has a sweet and sour flavour, lemon flavour and delicate shortbread texture. In General, for fans of the unforgettable cake the Soviet times under the name "Leningrad."

Cooking

To prepare products for cakes. I must say that the recipe the dough should go 360 g of butter, and because when I make a dish for the first time, I strictly follow the recipe is my rule, and I put 360 g. the Dough was super greasy, the oil just oozed out of him, so I think the amount of oil can be safely reduced, even you need to reduce.

Almonds in advance pour boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then rinse with cold water and clean from the husk. Then a little dry in the oven or microwave. Not roast.

Blend butter with sugar, add yolks one at a time, each time pounding until smooth.

Then add the zest and wine and stir.

Mix the flour and ground almonds.

Add the oil mixture and knead the dough.

Divide it into 5-6 parts

And bake cakes for 10-12 minutes. I have a form in diameter 24 see

Trim the cakes and cool. They are very fragile, easily broken, so handle with them very cautiously. To lift a shovel, in any case not hands, everything will crumble.

To prepare products for sour cream. Actually, the recipe suggested cream vanilla, but I decided that cakes and so fat enough, and made the sour cream, in my opinion, easier.

Blend sour cream, sugar and any vanilla flavoring.

Fluff cakes alternately jam

and sour cream.

Remove in the cold for impregnation (I left overnight).

Then cover the top of the cake a simple sugar glaze. The sides of the cake I missed butter cream (whipped some butter with condensed milk) and sprinkled with grated marshmallows (dried a few pieces I have here and put them in the case). You can sprinkle with grated meringue or crumbs from scraps.
