The funny, fairy-tale-like name “Vanka curly” will definitely attract your attention to the original recipe for this delicious cake. It should be noted that the kefir cake prepared according to this recipe is called differently. You can meet “Curly Lad”, and “Curly Boy”, and “Curly Pinscher”. In all cases, the recipe and the word “Curly” remain common. 😉
Making such a delicious cake with sour cream at home is quite simple. Even a small child can be involved in the formation process; it will be an exciting activity with a concrete and tasty result.
First, let's decide on the products that we will need during the cooking process.
For the cakes: 200 grams of kefir, 3 pcs. eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon soda, vanilla to taste, 6 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons cocoa.
For the cream: 200 grams of sour cream, 1 glass of sugar.
For glaze: 100 ml milk, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, 60 g butter.
How to make a kefir cake Vanka curly
First, let's deal with the cakes. To knead the dough, you need to grind eggs with sugar + vanilla, pour in kefir, add flour with slaked soda and mix. If you have a mixer, it is better to beat everything thoroughly in the same order.
Divide the dough into two parts. Add cocoa to one and knead, and leave the other as is. If desired, cocoa can be added to both parts. In this case, the cake will turn out with a richer cocoa taste.
Now all that remains is to simply pour the dough into greased or parchment-lined molds. Bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees. We check readiness with a wooden splinter.
Remove the finished cakes from the mold, cool and cut one of the cakes into cubes (3x3 cm).
How to make sour cream for cake
Beat the sour cream (just don’t use too much liquid) with sugar and get a cream.
How to assemble and decorate a cake
Cover the whole cake with cream. We dip each cube of sliced cake into the cream and line it up with a “hat” and fill it with the remaining sweet sour cream.
If desired, you can cut both cake layers into cubes and, having dipped all the pieces in the cream, build a tower on a dish in a random order of colors.
How to make glaze
You need to boil the milk, add sugar, cocoa and cook for 4 minutes. Then add oil and cook for another 3 minutes. You can add a couple of slices of chocolate to the hot glaze - it will taste better and harden faster.
Well the last “touch to the portrait” remains. The cooled but not hardened glaze needs to be poured over the cake and allowed to sit at least a little. The glaze does not need to be applied in an even layer. We will draw patterns on the cake in a thin stream, as it were. What is the result - look at the photo.
You will see why the cake is called “curly” when you cut it. This is clearly visible in the photo.

In order to make them delicious, you need to beat the chicken eggs vigorously with granulated sugar, and then add thick sour cream to them, quench the baking soda with lemon juice and add wheat flour. As a result of intensive kneading of all ingredients, you should get a semi-liquid dough (almost like for charlotte).
Baking cakes
To bake both cake layers in the oven, you should heat a springform pan, grease it with butter, and then put the chocolate dough into it. It should be cooked at a temperature of 180-190 degrees for one hour. After the dark cake is completely baked, it must be removed with a spatula, set aside to cool, and then level the edges using a plate of the appropriate diameter.

How to make a curly pinscher cake
To make the most delicious cake at home, I first make the dough for it. Immediately beat the eggs into the mixer bowl and pour in sugar, which can be replaced with powdered sugar or taken in equal parts.
Beat eggs with sugar for about 3 minutes, at high speed, and then add condensed milk, sour cream and soda slaked with vinegar. Then use a whisk or spatula to mix everything until smooth.
Now I add flour, but before that it is advisable to sift it so that the dough turns out tastier and more airy.
Then I mix the flour into the dough with a spatula so that it turns out to be the perfect consistency, without lumps.
It is best to bake the cake crust in a springform pan, as it will be easier to remove it from it carefully. I grease the sides of the mold with a little butter, and put a piece of baking paper on the bottom and connect the mold. When the mold is ready, pour half of the dough into it.
I add cocoa powder to the rest of the dough and mix it to get a beautiful chocolate color.
Now I take a regular tablespoon and spread the chocolate dough onto the light one, in a chaotic manner. Thanks to this method, you do not need to bake two cakes of different colors separately, but rather make one large two-color one. I turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees, and when it’s hot, I set the cake to bake for 35 minutes.
Since I have a curly pinscher cake with sour cream, I now prepare the sour cream for the cream. To do this, I take a colander and put a piece of gauze at the bottom, folded in two or three times. Then I put sour cream for the cream in it and leave it so that the excess liquid is gone. Thanks to such manipulations, the cream will become much thicker and will not drip.
After the baking time has passed, I check the cake for readiness by piercing it in several places with a wooden toothpick. If the toothpick comes out completely dry, then it is ready.
Now I take the finished cake out of the mold and carefully remove the parchment.
After this, I transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. If you leave it to cool on a plate or board, it will become soggy underneath.
Now I prepare all the necessary fruits. You don't have to take the same fruits as mine. I think the perfect combination is orange, kiwi, banana and apple.
We clean and chop the fruits for the cake. Cut the banana into slices, kiwi into semicircular slices, apple and orange into small pieces.
When making this cake, it is important to make a delicious sour cream. Transfer the sour cream from a colander into a bowl and add powdered sugar to it. You can add sugar, but the powder dissolves faster in sour cream, due to which the cream will be thicker.
I mix the powder with sour cream and it turns out to be a delicate, delicious cream. But I decided to add condensed milk, which only makes the cream tastier.
Mix back until the cream has a uniform texture.
When everything for the cake is ready, I start shaping it. The cake layer has already cooled down, so I cut it into two parts. They should be unequal, the main thing is to get a thin bottom crust, and cut or tear the remaining dough into small pieces.
I will not do the soaking, since sour cream soaks the cake very well. I put the cream on the bottom cake and distribute it evenly over it, and put pieces of fruit on top, in any order.
I spread pieces of crushed cake on the fruit in a layer, then again cream and fruit, and so on until the end.
The cake is fully formed, it turns out quite large. Now I will make chocolate icing to decorate the cake.
For the glaze, mix milk, sugar, cocoa powder in a saucepan and place over medium heat. I stir all the time so that the glaze does not burn and as soon as it starts to boil, add butter, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Now I leave it to cool. When the cake icing has cooled completely, pour it over the cake and sprinkle colored coconut flakes on top. Well, the curly pinscher is ready and I am sure that my step-by-step recipe with photos will help you prepare this delicious cake for your holiday.
I put it in the refrigerator so that it soaks well. For this, 6 hours is enough for him, but of course 12 is better.
Now you know everything to prepare a curly-haired pinscher, the recipe with sour cream will become a real lifesaver for you when you have a little free time and need to prepare a delicious cake. You can bake faster than this, which is made with custard. Bon appetit!
The sour cream ladchik curly cake (or curly lad) was at the peak of popularity in the nineties, perhaps surpassed in popularity only by honey cake with custard. Due to the shortage of some products and the meager selection of purchased culinary products, almost every housewife tried to prepare sweet pastries herself, using a minimum of ingredients. Now “Curly Cot” has changed a little: in some recipes berries or pieces of fruit are added to the cake, in others you can find variations in making the cream. The only thing that has remained unchanged is the spectacular appearance of the popular baked goods, which we will try to repeat.
- sugar - 1 glass;
- eggs - 2 pcs.;
- baking soda - 1 teaspoon;
- sour cream - 200 g;
- flour - 2 cups;
- cocoa powder - 1-2 tbsp. spoons.
- sour cream - 75 g (3 tablespoons);
- butter - 1 tbsp. spoon;
- sugar - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- cocoa powder - 3 tbsp. spoons.
Sour cream lad curly cake recipe
- We start preparing “Curly Lad” with biscuit dough. Pour a glass of sugar into a deep bowl and beat the eggs into it. Beat with a mixer.
- We extinguish the soda with vinegar and add it to the sugar-egg mixture. Add 200 g of sour cream.
- Sift the flour into the dough, constantly stirring the mixture to avoid the formation of lumps.
- We will prepare two cake layers: chocolate, which will be the basis of the future cake, and also light, used for decoration. To do this, divide the dough, which resembles the consistency of thick sour cream, into two equal parts, pour cocoa powder into one of them, and mix.
