Preparation procedure
- Preparing the sponge: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. In a bowl, mix the plain flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and cocoa.
- Adding the other ingredients: Add the oil, water and yolks to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
- Preparing the egg whites: In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combining the egg white foam with the batter: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, preserving their airiness and using gentle top-to-bottom motions.
- Preparing the baking tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the prepared batter evenly on it.
- Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20–25 minutes, until the sponge is baked through. To check, use a toothpick — if it comes out dry, the sponge is done.
- Cooling the sponge: After baking, let the sponge cool.
- Preparing the cream: Meanwhile, prepare the cream. In a bowl, whip the sour cream, whipping cream and powdered sugar until a smooth and creamy base forms.
- Applying the cream: Spread the prepared cream over the cooled sponge and smooth it out evenly.
- Decoration: Grate chocolate over the top of the cream.
- Chilling and serving: Let the sour cream slices set in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, ideally overnight, so the cream firms up and the flavors meld.
