This cake, with all the usual "Kiev&a mp;quot; total only one-layer meringue with nuts. The process of making and assembling different. The cake turns out very tasty, hearty, due to icing -chocolate.

Cooking

RUB the flour and margarine into crumbs.

Separate the whites from the yolks.

Beat the yolks with sugar.

To combine beaten egg yolks with the sugar and flour with margarine. Knead the dough. Put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Rested divide the dough into 4 parts and bake the cakes at 180 ° * for 10-15 minutes. Shortbread dough, so I recommend to roll out right on the baking sheet.

While the cakes bake, make the cream. Combine sour cream with condensed milk. Instead of sour cream and butter. But in the test enough fat. And with sour cream turns out tender, with a creamy taste.

Nuts, if not fried,-fry. If fried-a little dry in the pan and grind with a rolling pin. I had half walnuts and peanuts.

Beat egg whites with sugar. While beating, add a few drops of lemon juice. Beat the whites until sharp peaks."Stagnant" state of proteins we don't need, it's not a meringue. If will long beat, then they will laminate and they will be simply thrown away.

Ready cake sprinkle crushed nuts on top and spread the frosting.

You can do the opposite-first meringue, then nuts. So it's easier. Do with 3 cakes. Oven temperature is lowered to 100*. Each cake "dried" in the oven. The meringue should increase in volume and acquire a pinkish color. This process can take 10 to 20 minutes. I have each cake "dried" for 20 minutes.

Here's the cake after "drying". Here the nuts in the meringue.

Each Korzh coat with cream. On top of the cake without the meringue. Have you noticed that the dough didn't put enough soda or baking powder? The cakes obtained are not high. But due to the meringue, the cake itself comes out pretty decent height.

Prepare the frosting as usual. Mix sugar with cocoa, add the cream, bring to the boil. Put the oil. Stir until smooth. I always instead of milk in the frosting put the cream. Due to this, it turns out more dense.

Cover the whole cake with frosting.

Proceed to the decoration. Think himself a great artist and begin to paint... Mix sour cream and sugar, add a fixer for cream. Basic, white ground, draw the flower. I did a nozzle from a syringe inserted in an ordinary package tight. Leaves, if in my performance you can call them that, draw a very thin nozzle, adding the sour cream balances the mass of green dye. I broke the package and the weight has started to come out not quite where it should be, therefore, turned out to be such a Doodle )))

For butterflies, we need a piece of cardboard, a sheet of tracing paper or parchment and chocolate.

Chocolate melt the way you want. Roll out another piece of parchment kinetic. On the tracing paper draw the butterfly, it should be symmetrical. Put chocolate in Carnatic and draw a butterfly.

Butterfly ready. Left to attach a leaf to a folded in half piece of cardboard and in this state put it in the refrigerator.

Put a butterfly near the flowers and our cake is ready!!!
