For the cake you will need a few ingredients. For cakes, take:
- 6 chicken eggs;
- 1.5 cups of sugar;
- 2 cups wheat flour;
- half a teaspoon of soda;
- vinegar for extinguishing.
For cream, take:
- a liter of sour cream with a fat content of at least 30%;

Cooking cakes
To make Fallen Leaves Cake, step by step recipe with a photo would be very helpful. To make the dough, take eggs and sugar. Eggs are best taken at room temperature. Pour them into a mixing bowl and add sugar. Beat until the mixture turns white and at least doubles in volume. To make the cake tender and airy, the dough must be saturated with oxygen.
When this happens, without turning off the mixer, start introducing flour into the dough, previously sifted through a fine sieve. This will also make future cakes more airy. Next, extinguish the soda a small amount vinegar and add to the batter. When the mixture becomes homogeneous, similar in consistency to thick sour cream, the mixer can be turned off.
Preheat oven to 230 degrees. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet or grease it with vegetable oil so that the cakes do not stick. Spoon the batter onto paper in the form of small pancakes or flatbreads. You can pipe the dough with a pastry bag. Leave some space between the circles of dough as it will rise in the oven.
Cakes are baked very quickly, they only need 5-7 minutes. You will most likely need to make several sets and bake the leaves in batches.
An interesting feature of the Fallen Leaves cake recipe is that you can cook it even if you don’t have an oven. Just take a frying pan and bake the dough in the form of small pancakes without adding oil. Don't over fry your pancakes, just cook them on both sides until done. You should get a gentle airy base for the Fallen Leaves cake.
The recipe is almost complete - when all the leaves are ready, leave them to cool, and at this time take care of the cream.
Cream
The Fallen Leaves Cake recipe is very simple, and it will take very little time to prepare it. Take sour cream and sugar and beat well with a mixer or whisk until the sugar has completely melted. If you want to assemble the cake later, refrigerate the cream to make it firmer and thicker. If the sour cream doesn't seem thick enough to you, wrap it in gauze and hang it over a bowl overnight. Then the excess whey will drain, and the sour cream will become the perfect consistency.
Also, if you want to make the taste of the cake more interesting, add to the cream fruit syrup like peach. You only need to put in 2-3 tablespoons while whipping.
Assembling the cake
When the cake-leaves have cooled and the cream has mixed, it's time to start assembling the cake. Take a large flat plate or dish and place the first layer of tortillas on it, slightly overlapping each other. If it’s hard for you to imagine how the Fallen Leaves cake should look like, a step-by-step recipe with a photo will help you with this.
Brush the dough with cream very well so that all the pieces are soaked. Then lay out the second layer, coat with cream. Do this with all the leaves, laying them in a slide. At the end, pour the rest of the cream over the entire cake and refrigerate it for a couple of hours, or better all night, so that your Fallen Leaves cake is properly soaked.
Recipe with photo step by step - chocolate version
If you want to diversify the taste of the cake, make it chocolate. You can add cocoa to the dough or cream, or you can go there and there. To do this, add 30 grams of cocoa powder to the dough. Take one that has nothing but cocoa in it, only it will give you a real rich taste of chocolate. Don't put instant drinks type "Nesquik" and cocoa with added sugar, as well as with a substitute for chocolate. But if you can't find pure powder commercially, go for the one with sugar. Then the amount of granulated sugar added to the dough should be halved. Mix cocoa powder with flour, and then add these dry ingredients to beaten eggs with sugar. The rest of the steps are identical to how to cook classic cake"Fallen leaves".
Recipe chocolate cream also uncomplicated. Just add three tablespoons of cocoa to sour cream with sugar. Or, if you want to make the cake more elegant, do not add cocoa to the mixture, but sprinkle white cream in the finished cake with grated chocolate.
You can also add chocolate icing to the cake. Look at this Fallen Leaves cake. The recipe with a photo shows how elegant and even festive it is.
For glaze, take:
- 70 grams of sugar;
- 50 milliliters of milk;
- 30 grams of cocoa;
- 30 grams of butter.
First, combine the dry ingredients - mix cocoa and sugar in a saucepan with a whisk. Add the milk in a thin stream, stirring the mixture to avoid lumps. Put the saucepan on the stove and heat the cocoa. When it boils, add butter and whip. Cool the finished cream and cover the cake with it, which is already well soaked with cream. Let the cake stand for another half an hour in the refrigerator.
Cake with berries
At the fallen leaves cake the best recipe is the one that is the simplest. However, it can be diversified with small additions. Berries can add new flavors to the cake, currants are especially good. Dark chocolate will help soften its acidity. To do this, in addition to the main ingredients of the cream, take a glass of fresh or frozen berries, 4 tablespoons of cocoa and 40 grams of dark bitter chocolate. Grind the berries with a blender and grind through a sieve so that only puree remains. Whisk sour cream with sugar and currants. Dip the dough cakes into the finished cream and place on a dish. Coat the finished cake with cream and pour over melted dark chocolate.
"Fallen leaves" with nuts and bananas
Another recipe for the Fallen Leaves cake is with nuts and bananas. They will not only complement the taste, but also diversify the texture of the cake. You can take any nuts, but to delicate taste sour cream is more suitable walnut. Take 300 grams and chop them with a knife, grate or chop with a blender.
Bananas will need 2 pieces. take ripe bananas but not too much. Mash them with a fork or a blender into a puree and add to the cream prepared according to classic recipe or with chocolate.
