This is a very original name for a cake.is not related to the breed of dogs. And it originates from the Spanish "pancha", which means "sour cream pie". And the cake itself is nothing more than a variation on the theme of the Spanish sour cream cake. By the way, this cake is also known under the names "Curly Ivashka", "Curly boy", "Curly boy", "Curly poodle" and even "Ai-Petri". But, despite the rather unusual name, the Pinscher Curly cake is considered not only a very tasty, but also an easy-to-make dessert. And there are simply countless variations on the theme of the "Pinscher" itself. Let's try to cook some of them?
Just "Pincher curly"
As those who have tried to cook it claimcake according to this recipe, baking can be done even by novice cooks. So if we are not yet sorceresses, but are just learning, then it is worth trying this version of the recipe. Ingredients for the dough:
- one and a half glasses of flour
- a glass of sugar
- a tablespoon of fatty sour cream
- 2 eggs
- half can of condensed milk
- 2 tsp. slaked soda or baking powder
- 2 tbsp. l. cocoa
Ingredients for the cream:
- liter of sour cream
- a glass of chopped walnuts
- 6 tbsp. l. powdered sugar
Ingredients for the fondant:
- sour cream (4 tbsp.)
- sugar (6 table spoons)
- Butter (2 tbsp.)
- 4 tbsp. l. cocoa powder
Preparation: First, prepare the dough.Beat the eggs with sugar. While stirring the egg-sugar mixture, gradually add cocoa, condensed milk and sour cream. Continuing to lightly beat this sweet mass, pour in all the flour (one tablespoon at a time). And at the very end, add the soda quenched with vinegar or citric acid. Divide the dough for two identical cakes and bake in two forms - round and rectangular. Bake the cakes in the oven for about 40 minutes, at a temperature of 180 degrees, until the "test on a dry toothpick" is reached. While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream. Beat the sour cream until fluffy and gradually add powdered sugar to it, and at the end - walnuts. Remove the baked cakes from the oven and cool. Next, assemble the cake. Take a round cake and thoroughly coat it with sour cream and nut cream. We leave it to soak, and in the meantime, cut the rectangular cake into cubes. The size of the cubes does not matter much, but too small cubes can get soaked from the cream, and too large ones can remain dry. Therefore, you need to cut medium-sized cubes (as always, the golden mean) - about half a matchbox. After that, we return to our finished round cake (or return it to ourselves) and put all the cubes on it, having previously dipped them in sour cream. You can put the cubes in different ways: chaotically, like a collapsed woodpile, in a neat pyramid or "as it turns out". And then "curl" our pinscher with a thin stream of chocolate glaze. To prepare such glaze, mix sour cream with sugar and cocoa, add a small piece of butter and heat to a boil. Pour the cake with still warm chocolate and sprinkle with chopped walnut kernels.

Another variation. The composition of the cake is almost the same, but the execution is slightly different. Ingredients:
- 2.5 tbsp. flour of the highest grade
- Half a can of condensed milk
- Milk - 1/3 tbsp.
- Cocoa powder - 5 tbsp. l. for glaze and 2 for dough
- Sugar or powdered sugar - 1 tbsp. for the test, 1 tbsp. for cream, 5 tbsp. l. for fondant
- Flour - 1.5 tbsp.
- Sour cream - 2.5 tbsp. in the cream and 1 tbsp. in the dough
- Soda (redeemed) - 1 tsp.
- Butter - 2 tbsp. l.
- 2 eggs
Beat eggs and sugar thoroughly.After the mass has increased in volume, add soda, sour cream and condensed milk. Mix thoroughly but carefully and add all the flour one spoon at a time. Divide the mass in half. Leave one white, and add cocoa powder to the other. Bake both cakes in a greased form in a hot oven for about 40 minutes. Let the baked cakes cool and cut them in half - each cake into two thin ones. Then assemble the cake, alternating light and chocolate cakes and spreading them with cream. Lay out three cakes in this way, and break the last one into small pieces. Pour all the "fragments" into a bowl with the rest of the cream, mix and put on top. Pour glaze made from milk, sour cream, butter, sugar and cocoa on top of the cake.
"Curly Pinscher" with dried apricots and prunes
Let's call this cake for a changeCurly Pinscher. Just so you don't get confused - if you add prunes and dried apricots, then the curls become curls. So, for the curly version of "Pinscher" you need the following ingredients:
- Bank of condensed milk
- Milk - 1/3 tbsp.
- Cocoa - 5 tbsp. l. for glaze and 2 for dough
- Sugar or powdered sugar - 1 tbsp. l. for the test, 1 tbsp. for cream, 5 tbsp. l. for fondant
- Flour - 1.5 tbsp.
- Sour cream - 3 tbsp. in the cream and 1 tbsp. in the dough
- Soda (redeemed) - 2 tsp.
- Butter - 2 tbsp. l.
- Prunes and dried apricots for 1 tbsp.
- 1 chocolate without filling
- 1 tbsp. walnuts (crushed)
- 2 eggs
Preparation:For the dough, mix eggs with a glass of sugar, a glass of sour cream, a can of condensed milk, soda and all the flour. After mixing, beat it all with a mixer. Divide the resulting dough for the cakes into a couple of parts: a quarter and three quarters. Bake a thin light cake from the smaller part. Add cocoa powder to the other part of the dough and make a chocolate cake from it. While the cakes are baking, beat the cream from sour cream and sugar and cook the icing (sour cream, sugar, milk, cocoa, butter). The composition and method of preparing the cream and glaze for all versions of "Pincher" are the same. And for this version, we also prepare a filling of dried fruits: wash the dried apricots and prunes well, dry them and cut into small pieces (you can grind them in a blender). Take the ready-made cooled cakes and make the base of the cake from the white one, laying it on a plate and generously spreading it with cream and sprinkling with dried fruits. Break (cut) the chocolate cake into pieces. Put half of the pieces of chocolate cake soaked in cream on the cake, sprinkle them with nuts and dried fruits, and then put the remaining "fragments" also dipping them in cream. Sprinkle the whole cake with nuts and prunes with dried apricots on top, and then pour over the fondant. And finally sprinkle with chopped chocolate shavings. These will be our Curly Pinscher's curls.

This is an option for those housewives who do not haveoven, but there is a microwave oven. It turns out that it also copes well with the preparation of Curly Pincher.

Now it's the turn of the eggs, which we also add to the dough one by one, and then the soda, quenched with citric acid or vinegar. At the very end, gradually pour in all the flour and mix well again. Divide the dough into three equal parts. Make one chocolate part by mixing the dough with cocoa powder, and bake three cakes one by one. Bake the cakes in a microwave pan. Each of them will take only 3 minutes at maximum power. Simply a super-fast cake! And then assemble the cake. Coat one white cake with cream, and cut the second one into pieces together with the chocolate one. Dip each biscuit cube in cream and place on the base cake. You can do it in layers (white - dark), or mixed. Pour chocolate glaze on top of the cake. If desired, you can add a filling of dried fruits, you can use any nuts, poppy seeds, canned or fresh fruits. "Pincher" with cherries and strawberries is very tasty. There are fans of this cake with a filling of pineapples and peaches. Some people prefer hazelnuts to walnuts, and some prefer almonds. In a word, there are as many options as there are cooks.
