Each family has its own recipe for a crown dish,which everyone likes without exception. Sour dessert "Mishka in the North" is a kind of hit of many generations. And this is not surprising, because this cake is prepared quickly and does not require any expensive ingredients. So, let's pamper our relatives and prepare the cake "Mishka in the North". 
We bake cakes
For the cake:
- 200 grams of sour cream;
- the same amount of sugar;
- butter - 50-60 grams;
- a teaspoon of the extinguished soda (it is possible to replace with a disintegrant);
- cocoa powder - a few teaspoons (determine the color of the future cakes themselves);
- 400 grams of well sifted flour.
To prepare the dough, combine the soft oil withsugar and beat well until the oil turns white. Now add the sour cream and mix the mixture until the sugar grains dissolve completely. Once the mass becomes uniform, divide the dough into two halves. In one of them you need to add cocoa and a glass of flour. In another - just flour. In each serving, add half a teaspoon of soda or a teaspoon of baking powder. The flour is introduced gradually, carefully mixing a thick mass. In the end, you should get a soft and smooth-looking dough: not too tight, but at the same time, good at the hands. At first glance, it may seem that the recipe is inaccurate - there is little flour. However, do not overdo it, otherwise the cakes will get too hard and badly soaked in cream. The finished dough is sent to the fridge for about half an hour, previously dividing both light and dark parts into three cakes - future cakes. If you want, you can make more cakes, but remember - the thinner the cakes, the harder they are to roll out. Rested dough should be carefully rolled out and transferred to a baking tray. Do not forget to immediately give the desired form to the cakes. Bake cake in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees, for each cake will take about 15 minutes. 
Cooking cream
Now the cakes should cool down, and while you are preparing the sour cream for the cake "Mishka in the North". You will need:
- 1 liter of sour cream of high fat content (it is better to take a home product);
- 1.5 cups of sugar, if you love sweeter, you can take a little more;
- Vanillin.
The recipe for sour cream is absolutelyuncomplicated. Even if you cook it for the first time, you will definitely succeed! So, take chilled sour cream, add sugar and vanillin, and beat well with a mixer. If you want the cream to turn out, you can add a white egg protein to the sour cream. Such cream differs by airiness and tenderness and necessarily it is necessary to taste to all family.
Picking up the cake
Cooled cakes smeared with sour cream,the recipe of which is given above. Dark and light cakes usually alternate with each other so that the cake begins with a cake with cocoa, and ends with a light crust. But this is absolutely not important. You can upload them in the order you want. The main thing - do not feel sorry for the cream for the cake, each layer should be soaked rather densely. The top cake also needs to be smeared with cream, but already with a thin layer. You can decorate a cake as you like. We propose to water it with icing.
Make the glaze
It will require:
- sugar - 4-5 tablespoons of spoon;
- Approximately 2 tablespoons of fatty cream (table);
- 3-4 spoons of cocoa powder (tea);
- a piece of butter (about 50 grams).
To make a cake frosting, mix everything(except butter) in an enamel saucepan. Wait until it boils, not forgetting to stir constantly. Cook until completely homogeneous. Now add butter, mix well immediately. The glaze is ready. Sprinkle the top of the cake with a cooled glaze (otherwise the cake will simply absorb it without residue) and put the cake in a cold place to soak up. Dessert sides can be sprinkled with chopped nuts or scraps of cake. If you take this recipe as a basis, you can surprise your loved ones each time with a new dish. For example, cakes do not only colorful, but also add nuts, poppy seeds or raisins to them. The top of the cake can be sprinkled with sugar powder, candied fruits or the same nuts. You can decorate the dessert with any fresh berries and top with a colorless jelly. Here, an excellent berry, for example, cherry or black currant, is perfect. As you can see, the recipe for sour cream is difficult to spoil, but you can try to improve using various supplements.
