Walnut and butter cream cake

Ingredients

• 190 g of high-quality wheat flour (1.5 cups)
• 100 g of butter
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup of baking soda
• 180 ml of sour cream (3/4 cup)
• A pinch of salt
• sugar, adjust the amount to your preference
• 3 egg whites
• 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar
• 100 g of butter
• 4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons of ground walnuts
• A “Qız qalası” sugar figurine, to be prepared in advance.

Combine the butter, sugar, and salt, then add the egg yolks and beat well.

Mix the bicarbonate with the sour cream, then pour this mixture over the butter mixture. Add the flour and form a dough.

Divide the dough in half, roll each half out to a thickness of 6 to 8 mm, and bake separately in a preheated oven at 250 °C.

Prepare the butter cream by mixing the butter, condensed milk, vanilla sugar, and cocoa powder until you have a smooth cream.

Whip the egg whites with the powdered sugar to create the meringue.

Once the discs have cooled, spread the butter cream evenly over the first disc and place the second disc on top.

Spread some cream on top, place the sugar figurine on it, and then decorate with the whipped cream and ground walnuts.
