The 'Homemade' cake is the embodiment of comfort and traditions of Russian cuisine. Its tender layers, made from whipped eggs, flour, and sugar, are soaked with two types of cream. The first is made from cottage cheese and boiled condensed milk, giving the cake softness and creamy richness. The second is an airy cream cheese that adds lightness and sophistication. The dessert's special touch comes from layers of fruit: sweet bananas and refreshing kiwi create a multifaceted flavor. The top layer is covered with melted dark chocolate that beautifully drips down the sides of the cake, creating an impressive visual effect. Decoration with favorite sweets gives it individuality. This cake is the perfect choice for family tea time or celebrations; it brings a sense of home warmth and joy. Once soaked, it becomes even softer, revealing its rich flavor.

Preparing the cake layer. It is advisable to make it a day in advance so it doesn't crumble when cut. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Divide the sugar into two parts and beat the yolks with one part of sugar; then take out the egg whites and beat them with the second part of sugar until creamy. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks, then add flour, preferably through a sieve; I also added a bit of cocoa powder for color and flavor. Grease a baking pan with vegetable oil and pour in our future cake layer; bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30-35 minutes. The finished cake can be wrapped in plastic wrap or covered with a towel and left to sit for at least 8 hours. Then cut the cake into three different parts.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces
- Sugar: 1.5 glass
- Wheat flour: 1.5 glass
