In a little cooled down mass, enter the eggs, stir and gradually pour the sifted flour, knead the soft elastic dough. We hold it for twenty minutes, covered with a film, and divide into six or eight parts. Each of them is thinly rolled on parchment to a diameter of approximately 28-30 centimeters. If necessary, you can pour a little flour for easy rolling.
In each cake make a few punctures with a fork to avoid swelling, and place them together with parchment on a baking sheet in the oven, heated to 200 degrees. We bake cakes for about ten minutes. When they get an attractive golden color, we get out of the oven and cut off, taking advantage of any round shape. Do this better while the cakes are hot, since after cooling they become very fragile.
Sour cream is mixed with sugar and vanilla sugar and grease generously the cakes with the cream.
At the final stage, we cut the cut pieces of the cakes and sprinkle them with the top and sides of the cake.
This cake must be left in the refrigerator for soaking, ideally for twenty-four hours.
