Syrup	30-40 ml

Step-by-step cooking process

The process of making the cake is as follows:

1. In one container, mix the egg with sugar until white peaks form. Then sift the flour into this mass and mix. Pour the finished dough into the multicooker bowl, greased with oil. Set the “Baking” mode and the timer for 1 hour. After the specified time, check the readiness of the sponge cake with a skewer. If the stick is still wet, bake for another 15 minutes. Cool the finished biscuit without removing it from the mold for 20 minutes. Then put it in the refrigerator, after wrapping it in cling film.
2. To make the cream, whip the cream for 3 minutes. at slow speed. Then add powdered sugar in portions. Gradually increase the beating speed and continue beating until white peaks form. Then add cottage cheese and beat again for another 3 minutes. until a thick homogeneous mass is obtained. Place the finished cream in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. for thickening.

3. The biscuit is cut into 3-4 layers. To do this, use toothpicks to mark the cut points on the biscuits on all edges. Hold the top of the biscuit with your hand, and with the other hand make neat cuts on all sides. The cuts are gradually deepened, the biscuit is turned over and 1 cake is carefully separated. The remaining layers are separated in the same way.
4. The cakes are soaked in syrup. Canned fruit syrup can be used. In order for the impregnation to better fill the biscuit, it is pierced in 4-5 places with a toothpick. Apply the syrup with a brush or spoon.
5. The bottom cake is placed on the plate on which the cake will be served. Apply cream to it using a spatula or a wide knife. Spread the cream evenly over the surface. During the process, they try to control the consumption of cream so that there is enough of it to cover the sides. Place pieces of fruit on top of the cream and lightly press them into the cream.
6. Place on top of the 1st layer of another cake layer and repeat the entire procedure. The top layer is only smeared with cream, applying pieces of fruit.
7. Start applying the cream to the sides of the cake. Do this with a spatula or knife. Apply the creamy mass evenly around the circumference, then level it out. To achieve the smoothest possible edges, go over the surface with a spatula 2-3 more times. In case the cream becomes more liquid during application to the surface of the cake, put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
8. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight so that the cream coating holds all the layers together and the sponge cake is sufficiently saturated.
9. Start creating the glaze. To do this, place a smooth glass without edges in the refrigerator. The chocolate bar is broken into pieces, 4 pieces are temporarily removed, and the main mass is placed in a bowl with thick walls. Add cream to the chocolate and place this bowl over low heat. Wait until the mass begins to melt, stirring the contents periodically. Make sure that the glaze does not come to a boil. If the chocolate hasn't melted yet. and the cream begins to boil, then remove the dishes from the heat. Cool the finished glaze until warm.

10. We begin to decorate the smudges on the cake. Pre-train in a chilled glass. Place it bottom up, dip a teaspoon into the glaze and gradually pour it onto the surface of the glass. If the icing drips down too quickly and doesn't set, it is either too hot and needs to cool further, or too runny and needs to be added with some chocolate from the reserved pieces. Make drips of different lengths around the circumference of the cake. To do this, scoop a little more or a little less glaze onto a spoon.
11. Once the icing on the cake has hardened sufficiently, the top of the cake is decorated by placing pieces of fruit and confectionery around the circumference of the cake.

If desired, leave the center of the cake empty or decorate the entire surface.

How to serve a dish

Dessert at holidays is served at the end of the evening, but in the case of a children's party, the serving may be more solemn. The cake is brought out under the dimmed lights and music, a congratulatory song or the wishes of the guests. Traditionally, the serving of the cake is greeted with applause, and the dessert itself is placed in front of the birthday person. He makes a wish and blows out the candle.
