Since childhood, every holiday for us is accompanied by the expectation of a tea party. An integral part of such tea drinking is cake. Sour cream is one of the most common creams for delicious cakes. Here are recipes for several of them.
It is necessary
-
- 4 cups sour cream
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of instant coffee or 1 lemon
- berries
- vanillin to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy or prepare all the ingredients you need. Sour cream should be bought without lumps, fresh, it is better to cool it in the refrigerator beforehand. Sour cream is best suited for the cream, the fat content of which is 30%. And it is better to beat it at a low air temperature.
Step 2
A few hours before you make the cream, you can strain the sour cream through a colander and cheesecloth, after which it will become a little drier, which means that the cream will not saturate the cakes so much and will retain its shape. If this is not done, then the cakes will not need to be impregnated separately, the cream will cope on its own.
Step 3
Start preparing the cream itself. To do this, beat the chilled sour cream with a glass of sugar until a fluffy mass is obtained. It is better to put the container with sour cream during whisking in a saucepan with cold water for even more cooling, otherwise your cream will not be whipped. You can also add vanillin here.
Step 4
Further, your actions may differ, depending on what kind of cream you would like to receive. To get a dark cream with a pleasant chocolate color, you need cocoa and coffee, which should be poured into the cream after the sugar.
Step 5
If you want to get a fruity sour cream, then you can add a little gelatin to it, about 30 grams, previously dissolved in hot water. And then add mashed berries or jam and whisk all this again with a whisk.
Step 6
You can also add lemon to sour cream. To do this, you need 1 lemon, which you need to hold in boiling water until softened, and then cool it. Then remove the seeds, and mince the lemon along with the zest. The resulting mass must be mixed into the cream and gently stirred.
