Sift one and a half cups of flour through a sieve into a bowl with an egg-sugar mixture, add one and a half teaspoons of baking powder or half a teaspoon of baking soda, slaked in vinegar, preferably apple cider. Mix everything thoroughly. The dough should be thin enough (so that it can be poured with a spoon). Turn on the oven to + 180 ° C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or brush with a little butter. Pour the dough over it in small portions like round pancakes or tortillas. Place a baking sheet with tortillas in a preheated oven, bake for 5-7 minutes. Watch the dough, it should not overcook and turn black.

While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream. Soften 200 grams of butter in a warm place (you can grind the butter in a blender). Mix with a glass of granulated sugar. Add 2 cups sour cream, stir well again. Remove the baking sheet with the prepared cakes from the oven. Gently dip the cakes in sour cream and butter cream, make sure that they are well saturated. Prepare a flat, large dish. Remove the cakes from the cream one at a time with a spoon and place them in layers on a platter. It should look like a pyramid. You can lay out pieces of cake in the form of legs, muzzle and tail of a turtle. Refrigerate cake until completely cooled.
