• Sugar: 250 g
• Bananas: 3 pc
• Sour cream 20%: 350 g

Cooking steps

1. We make sand dough. We separate the yolks from the whites. We melt the butter or margarine in a convenient way (in the microwave or on the stove). It should not be hot; if it is, we cool it down. To check, use a finger; if it doesn't burn and feels comfortable, the temperature of the butter is good.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 3 pieces
   • Butter: 100 g

2. Add 125 g of sugar (half a cup) to the yolks, mix, pour in melted butter, mix, and add flour. The dough turned out thick. We put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 250 g
   • Butter: 100 g
   • Wheat flour: 300 g

3. We wash and clean the bananas, then slice them into medium thickness, not too thick and not too thin.

4. Preheat the oven. Prepare the pan, for example: grease with oil and sprinkle with flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 100 g

5. Take the dough out of the fridge, place it in a mold, and gently spread it evenly. On top of the dough, lay sliced bananas. Then spread sour cream (it should be at least 20% fat) on them. Now put it in the oven at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 20 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 300 g
   • Bananas: 3 pieces
   • Sour cream 20%: 350 g

6. While our cake is baking, we take the egg whites separated from the yolks, add 125 g of sugar (half a cup) and beat with a mixer until a white, thick, fluffy mass forms, leaving patterns when you draw through it (somewhat reminiscent of whipped cream).

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 250 g

7. Take our cake out of the oven and carefully spread fluffy egg white on it. You can make a design or peaks. If you have a piping bag, create your masterpieces :))) Put it back in the oven for 3-5 minutes to lightly brown the white. The egg white may settle a bit, but that's not a big deal. Our cake is almost ready.

8. If this is the 'angel's tear', then we need to make tears. It's very simple. Place the cooled cake in the fridge for half an hour. Take it out, and shiny, beautiful droplets will form on it, those are the tears :)

9. Enjoy your tea!

10. I cooked it many times, and in the last one, I decided to pour homemade peach jam over it and spread it on the edges.
