Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 170 g sour cream
  • 190 g flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Red food coloring

For the Cream

  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 200 g cream (33-35%)
  • 450 g cream cheese

For Decoration

  • 3 strawberries

Preparation Method

Preparing the Biscuit

Add red food coloring to the sour cream, mix well, and set aside so the color fully activates. In a separate bowl, whisk the room-temperature butter with a mixer, then gradually add 150 g of powdered sugar and the eggs, whisking until a homogeneous mass is formed. Add the colored sour cream to this mixture and mix well with a hand mixer.

Afterward, add the sifted flour, cocoa, and baking soda to the mixture and mix again until a smooth, homogeneous dough without lumps is formed. Pour the dough into a prepared mold and bake at 170°C for 40–45 minutes. Let the baked biscuit cool completely.

Preparing the Cream

Whisk the cream cheese, 150 g of powdered sugar, and cream together with a mixer until a homogeneous, soft mass is formed.

Assembling the Cake

Carefully remove the cooled biscuit from the mold and divide it into 3 layers. Place the first layer in the mold, spread 1/3 of the cream on it, add the second layer, spread another 1/3 of the cream, and finish with the last biscuit layer. Use the remaining cream to cover the outside of the cake.

Place the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours so the cream cools well and holds its shape. Then, carefully remove it from the mold, place the strawberries on top, and serve.
