Method

Sponge biscuit

  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two clean, dry bowls. Make sure that even a drop of yolk does not get to the whites!
  • Add salt and sugar to the whites, and whip for 3-6 minutes until white and glossy. It shouldn't fall if the container is turned over.
  • In the resulting mass, add the almond flour in 2-3 passes using a silicone spatula (moving from the bottom to the top).
  • Take the molds: for a 18cm (7.09 inch) mold, make 3 cake layers; for a 20-22cm (7.87-8.66 inch), make 2 cake layers.
  • On the parchment, draw the desired shape with a pencil, and pour the mass inside the resulting circles, evenly spreading with a spatula. You will get 2 or 3 cake layers, depending on the diameter of the mold. 👆🏻
  • Bake the cake layers  for 17 minutes at 338F (170С), until golden brown.
  • When the sponge biscuit is ready, let tit cool completely and only then remove from parchment.

The cream

  • In a saucepan, mix the yolks, sugar, vanilla and sour cream.
  • Heat the cream in the microwave for 1 minute, and pour the hot cream into the saucepan in a thin stream, stirring vigorously.
  • Place the mass over a medium heat, and cook until the first bubbles appear.
  • Remove the mass from the heat, cover with film in contact, and place in the fridge for an hour.
  • In an hour, whip the cream at the maximum speed for a minute.
  • Then, add the butter, and keep whipping for 2 more minutes until thick. IMPORTANT: the butter and the cream must be of the same temperature. Don't warm up the butter!

Cake assembly

  • Cover each cake layer with cream, and assemble the cake.
  • Cover the finished cake woth chocolate glaze (melt the chocolate, and mix it with the oil).

* You can add some nuts or crispies to the chocolate,or decorate the cake with it.
