To prepare, we will need the most ordinary products, no long searches for “overseas things” in stores. It is quite possible that you will find more ingredients in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

• Chicken eggs - 6 pcs
• Wheat flour – 2 cups
• Butter – 25 g
• Sour cream 20% – 1 l
• Sugar – 2.5 cups
• Baking soda – 1 tsp.
• Table vinegar – 1 tsp.
• Vanilla - 1 tsp.

For decoration:

• Kiwi – 1 piece
• Chocolate - to taste

Preparation:

So, let's start with making cookies, for this we need 2 deep cups. We will pour the white into one, and the yolk from the eggs into the other. Add a glass of sugar to each container.

Now we need the help of a blender, beat both mixtures until smooth. We take out a larger bowl and mix the whites and yolks in it. Sift the flour through a sieve and mix it into our mixture in portions. We extinguish the soda with vinegar and mix the dough. All that remains is to add vanillin.

Let's prepare a baking tray for baking the “cakes” by generously greasing it with a piece of butter. Pour the dough into the mold and distribute it evenly. Place in an oven preheated to 190 degrees and bake until done, about 20 minutes. You can check the readiness with a wooden stick; if there are no traces of dough left on it, then the cake is ready.

Let the cake cool a little. Now we need to use a glass to cut out the circles. Starting from the edge of the tray along the entire length, cut the flatbreads.

We don’t throw away the scraps, they will also go into the cake. Let's start assembling it and place what we have left from cutting out the circles onto a plate in a heap.

Next, we need to make a cream impregnation so that the cake is not a dry sponge cake. Mix sour cream and remaining sugar until smooth. Let's pour some of this mass into a pile of scraps. In the rest, dip each shortcake in cream and place on a plate. You can lay out the head and paws from cookies. Make eyes with cream or raisins, for example. We give our treat a couple of hours to soak and serve.

After our miniature cakes have cooled, you can start assembling the cake. Let's prepare a cream for it; for this we mix sour cream and condensed milk. Arrange the cookies in a heap, dipping each one in sweet cream. We put banana slices between the cookies, so the cake will become even sweeter and more tender.
