  6. While the first cake is being baked, in the same way we roll out the second.
  7. In total, 8 cakes should be obtained.

Beat the chilled sour cream, gradually adding sugar and vanilla to it. Beat up until the cream becomes thick and voluminous.

Then there remains a very simple job: you need to collect the cake. We put cakes on top of each other, not forgetting to evenly lubricate them with cream. We also apply cream on the top cake, and turn the baked leftovers from the cake into crumbs and sprinkle the cake on top.
