Step 1: prepare the flour.
In order for the dough to breathe, and the cake to turn out tender and airy, the first step is to sift the flour. To do this, pour the flour ingredient into a sieve and sift it directly over a medium bowl. Thus, we will not only saturate the flour with oxygen from the air, but also get rid of possible flour lumps.Step 2: prepare the egg and sugar mixture for the dough.
Using a knife, break the egg shells, and pour the protein and yolk into a free bowl. Pour sugar into a container for eggs and, using a mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients until smooth, and also until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mass increases in size. Attention: if you use a mixer, then beat the eggs with sugar at medium speed. Step 3: prepare the dough.
As soon as the sugar-egg mass is ready, we immediately begin to prepare the dough. Continuing to whisk everything with a whisk, gradually add the sifted flour to the bowl in small portions so that flour lumps do not form. The consistency of the dough is like thick sour cream. Attention: the better we mix the eggs with sugar, the more magnificent and beautiful we get the cake cake. Step 4: prepare the cakes.
So, we divide the dough “by eye” into two parts. Now turn on the oven and preheat it to the temperature 180°-200°С. Lubricate two baking dishes well with butter, not forgetting the inner sides of the containers. We pour the dough into baking dishes and after that, with the help of a tablespoon, we level the surface of our future cakes. We put either in turn, or immediately (if the oven allows) the baking dishes in the oven and bake the cakes for 20-30 minutes until a golden brown crust appears on the surface of the dough. Attention: after the allotted time, it is necessary to check the degree of readiness of the test. To do this, using kitchen tacks, we take out the form and pierce it with a toothpick in several places of the cake. If the toothpick remains dry and without pieces raw dough, which means that the cake is ready and you can get it out of oven. If not, then you should put the form back and bake the cake for another 10 minutes. So, the finished cakes are set aside to cool slightly for 5 minutes. After that, cover the baking dish with a cutting board and with a quick movement of the hands, holding both the board and the container, turn the cake upside down. 
Finished cake transfer to a wire rack and do the same procedure with another cake. After that, if desired, the cakes can be cut lengthwise into several more parts. Usually from one large thick cake are obtained 2-3 more thin ones. I usually do it according to my mood and depending on the location of my free time. After that, set the cakes aside to cool down. for 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the sour cream. Step 5: prepare sour cream.
Pour sour cream into a medium bowl and pour sugar with a tablespoon and vanilla sugar. Now, using a mixer or a hand whisk, beat the ingredients until homogeneous mass. Everything, sour cream is ready! Both simple and delicious! Step 6: Cooking homemade cake with sour cream.
So, put the first cake on a dish for serving and after that, using a tablespoon, apply sour cream to the surface of the cake. We level the cream with improvised equipment over the entire plane of the cake and then cover it with a second cake. We repeat the procedure from the beginning and so on until we run out of cakes and sour cream. Attention: we do not regret the cream, but generously lubricate the surface of all cakes with it. The last cake, if desired, can be smeared with cream. Attention: to taste, you can decorate the cake with pieces of fruit or berries, for example, strawberries or raspberries. And now we put the cake in the refrigerator to brew and soak with cream for 20-30 minutes.
Step 7: serve homemade cake with sour cream.
After the allotted time for soaking the cake, we take out the pastries from the refrigerator and can serve them to the table. But you can treat friends and loved ones with a piece of such a wonderful cake along with tea or hot coffee. Optional home cake can be garnished with fruit pieces, sprinkled with cocoa powder or coconut flakes, but this is only if you decide to grease the surface of the last cake with cream. Good appetite! - – To make a homemade cake with sour cream it turned out even tastier between the cakes, you can put pieces of fruit or berries directly into the cream. For example, strawberries, raspberries or pieces of peach, orange or kiwi would be a great addition.
- - You can use homemade sour cream for making cream, then the cream will turn out richer and tastier.
- - The more sour cream, the more you can soak the cakes with cream. Then, if desired, the cake can be smeared with cream on the sides. Only in this case it is necessary to put more sugar in the cream.

Cake "Smetannik" is a cake in which, if we talk about classic version, both the dough and the cream include sour cream. It is this recipe with a photo step by step that we want to present to your attention today. I want to note right away that the sour cream that goes into the cream must be fresh, homemade, high fat. For the test, you can use any sour cream, any fat content, or not very fresh - it does not matter for the test. You can cook cakes with the addition of cocoa, like me, or you can leave them light - it will also be very tasty. In general, Smetannik turns out to be very tender, moderately sweet and suitable for both home tea drinking and for.
Ingredients:
For test:
- 250 g of sour cream;
- 3 eggs;
- 2 cups of flour;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder;
- 1 teaspoon of soda (without a slide);
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
For cream:
-¾ cup of powdered sugar;
- 0.5 l of sour cream;
- vanillin - to taste.
For impregnation:
- 2 tablespoons of cognac;
- 2 tablespoons of boiled water;
- 2 teaspoons of powdered sugar.
Recipe with photo step by step:
Break the eggs into the bowl of a mixer or food processor and add the sugar. Beat at high speed for 3-5 minutes, until a light fluffy mass is formed. We add sour cream, soda slaked with vinegar (since there is sour cream in the dough, soda can not be added, but in this case, sometimes there is still a taste of soda). We mix.
In parts, for 2-3 doses, add the flour, stirring the dough all the time so that there are no lumps, but do not be too zealous so that the dough does not turn out to be heavy.
It should also be borne in mind that, depending on the density of sour cream or the size of the eggs, a little more or less flour may be needed. Ready dough the consistency should be a little thicker and denser than thick sour cream. 
Preparing detachable forms for baking. It is best if you have 2 molds with a diameter of 20 cm. If you have only 1 mold, repeat the baking process twice. Grease the baking dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Pour half of the dough into a baking dish.
In the second half of the dough, sift the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly so that the cocoa is evenly distributed throughout the volume.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. 
We place the forms in an oven preheated to 190 degrees C and bake for 30 minutes. We do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes. The baking time depends on your oven, so it may vary slightly. We check the readiness of the dough with a dry splinter.
We take out the finished cakes from the oven and, without removing the form, put it on the wire rack. After 10 minutes, open the molds, release the cakes and leave them on the wire rack until completely cooled.
Most often, cakes are obtained with a pea, we cut it off so that after assembly the cake is even. The cut parts can be cut, mixed with cream and laid out as a middle layer of the cake. And you can give it to children - they will eat it with pleasure.
We combine for impregnation powdered sugar With boiled water and cognac, mix.
We impregnate one part of each cake - from the side of the cut.
With a mixer, beat the cooled fresh sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until a homogeneous creamy consistency - that is, you should get a thick and fluffy cream. Be careful - fatty sour cream easily turns into butter. Sometimes it is enough to whip the cream for just a couple of minutes, as it becomes thick.
The order of laying the cakes is arbitrary: whether the dark cream will be on top, or the light one is up to you. We put the lower cake on a dish and generously grease it with cream, put the second cake on it and also grease it with cream.
With the remaining cream, completely cover the side surface of the cake.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with grated chocolate.
We put the cake in the refrigerator to infuse for 2 hours.
Tips & Tricks:
Slaked soda can be replaced with baking powder. At the same time, it needs to be taken 2 times more than soda.
If you use store-bought sour cream, add 1 package of cream or sour cream thickener to it while whipping the cream.
Based classic recipe Smetannik cake can be made in many variations: in the middle - a layer of bananas, strawberries, kiwi or other fruits; add to dough.
you can cover the cake chocolate icing etc. You can decorate the cake in any way - with nuts, fruits or crumbs from cakes, coconut flakes.

Cake with sour cream: tricks and tips from confectioners
For sour cream, use homemade sour cream. If you use a store, then it should be at least 20%. Before preparing the cream, place the sour cream in a sieve lined with gauze and leave overnight. Thus, excess liquid will leave the sour cream. If you are making cream from homemade sour cream, make sure that it does not whip into butter.
For cream, it is better to use powdered sugar, then whipping the cream will be much easier. You can make it yourself by grinding sugar in a coffee grinder or using a blender. When whipping the cream, introduce powdered sugar gradually. Ready cream should not be liquid consistency. You can add fruits, berries, cocoa, lemon juice or vanillin to the cream to get the desired flavor note.
To obtain a colored cream, the introduction is allowed food coloring. By adding gelatin to the cream, you can get gentle soufflé. This is quite a worthy competitor of the cake " bird's milk". The longer the cake with sour cream is soaked, the more tender its taste will be.
