Cake “Prague”
Equipment
- Pan size: 28 cm diameter (26 cm can also be used, resulting in a taller cake)
Ingredients
For the sponge cake:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 can dulce de leche
- 200 grams sour cream
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 cup flour (180 g)
- 2 heaping tsp cocoa powder
- pinch of vanilla sugar
For the cream:
- 200 grams room temperature, softened butter
- 1/2 can dulce de leche
- 1 heaping tbsp cocoa powder
For the chocolate glaze:
- 100 grams butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tbsp cocoa powder
- 5 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and thick. Add the dulce de leche and beat again. Then mix in the sour cream
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Combine the dry ingredients with the egg mixture using a hand whisk.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper, grease with butter, and pour in the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 25 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer; if it comes out dry, the cake is ready.
- Let the sponge cake cool completely, then cut it into two or three layers.
- To ensure the cream turns out well, the butter and dulce de leche must be at room temperature. I made the cream with a hand whisk, and it turned out great. First, beat the butter a little, then gradually add the dulce de leche, and finally the cocoa powder. The delicious cream is ready.
- Spread the cream on the bottom layer of the sponge cake, then place the second layer on top. Put the cake in the refrigerator.
- While the cake is chilling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until it becomes a smooth mixture. Remove from heat just before it starts to boil, let it cool slightly, then pour it over the cake.
- The delicious "Prague" cake is ready. Bon Appetit!
