Curly Boy Cake


This cake is moist and not too sweet.The base of the cream is sour cream,which makes it different from most of the cakes.It’s called «curly boy cake» but my kids call it «the mountain cake».This recipe was given to me by my sister-in-law years ago,we still love it.

Assembling the cake:

Slice the white cake in half. Spread condensed milk on the cake. Spread the cream.place the other half on top creamed side. Spread the cream on top and sides of the cake.

Cut the chocolate cake into 1 1/2 inch squares. Throw in about 7 squares at a time in to the bowl with cream , mix it with spatula or spoon to make sure its completely covered with cream. Arrange the squares on top of the white cake. Using a spoon add the chocolate glaze all over the cake.( I didn’t use all the glaze). Place it in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
