Cake ingredients

Basic Ingredients

For the test:

• low-fat kefir 2.5% – 260ml;
• wheat flour – 200g;
• granulated sugar – 240g;
• chicken egg – 1 pc.;
• cocoa powder – 1 tbsp. l. with a slide;
• blackcurrant jam, you can use apricot jam - 1 cup;
• baking powder – 1 sachet.

For cream:

• butter – 150g;
• sugar – 1 glass;
• fat sour cream 20% – 250g;
• dark grated chocolate for sprinkling - 1 bar.

Cooking method

The cake contains ingredients that can be bought in the store. Indeed, in Soviet times, when such baked goods were especially popular, there were no gourmet and affordable products. Our grandmothers made desserts from what was in the refrigerator.

Previously, the dough was beaten with a whisk or fork, but now powerful kitchen mixers have come to the rescue, and we will use them.

Biscuit dough in a mold

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Beat the egg with a mixer in a separate bowl, add granulated sugar in parts and beat further until a fluffy, stable and white mass is obtained, 5-7 minutes.
2. Mix kefir with baking powder. It is better not to use soda slaked with vinegar, since the chemical reaction of the baking powder is much smaller, so the taste of the baked goods will be softer. Add the sugar-egg mixture to the kefir, then sift the cocoa powder through a sieve so that lumps of the product do not disturb the consistency of the dough.
3. Add flour to the mixture in parts, stirring thoroughly until the dough is smooth and homogeneous. If there are lumps of flour in the dough, it will spoil the sponge and it will not rise.
4. The dough should be liquid, porous and shiny. It is necessary to pour it into a specially prepared and oiled form. It is best to choose silicone molds or cookware with a non-stick coating. If there are none, then you need to cover the dishes with parchment.
5. Bake the biscuit for 30 minutes at 180°C.
6. Beat the slightly melted butter and add sugar.
7. Add sour cream to the mixture and beat thoroughly until smooth.
8. Using a knife or thread, cut the finished cake into two even parts.
9. Place the bottom half of the cake on a plate and thickly spread currant jam on top; you can also add whole fresh berries to enhance the taste and add a slight sourness. In summer, jam can be replaced with fresh berry puree.
10. Spread half the buttercream on top of the currant jam layer, then cover with the second cake layer and place the remaining cream on top of the assembled cake. Gently coat the top and sides of the cake, the main thing is to ensure that the filling does not leak out of the middle of the cake.
11. You can sprinkle cocoa or grated chocolate on top; fresh berries will also look beautiful.
12. Cool the finished baked goods in the refrigerator, after which the “Black Prince” cake on kefir with currant jam is ready to eat!

The decoration of the finished baked goods must correspond to its royal name. Woodstock, for whom the cake is named, fought in battle in black armor. Therefore, it is best to pour chocolate glaze over the cake: it will resemble the prince’s legendary knightly vestment.

For chocolate glaze, you need to melt 90 g of chocolate and mix it with 40 g of butter, 90 g of granulated sugar and pour in all 100 ml of cream. Heat the mixture in a water bath. Cover the top of the cake with warm glaze.

The legend tells of the Black Prince's ruby. He considered it a talisman and always took it with him into battle. Hence the long-standing tradition of decorating a cake with a cherry, which is similar to a ruby.
