Dough
First, prepare small cookies - the basis for the cake. To do this, prepare a shortcrust pastry.
Put the margarine out of the refrigerator for at least three hours before preparing the cookie dough. It should be soft and room temperature. Sift flour so that it is saturated with oxygen. Due to oxygen, the dough will turn out soft, friable, it will be easy to cut and break, and due to its good porosity it will be perfectly saturated with sour cream.
Pour sugar and margarine into a deep bowl. Wipe the sugar thoroughly with it until large crumbs are obtained. Add a few eggs and use a mixer or blender to beat the ingredients well.
Flour is introduced into the mass gradually, so that in the dough not clumps of flour are formed. Add the flour a little and knead the dough. When it ceases to yield to the mixer, start kneading with your hands, rubbing each lump. The dough should be monotonous. To make the dough loose and porous, he needs a baking powder. The analogue is slaked soda.
How to extinguish soda with baking vinegar? Take a tablespoon and add about 1/3 soda to it. Spread the soda over the entire surface of the spoon and gently pour the vinegar on top. Do not overdo it with it, it is only necessary for soda to hiss. Put slaked soda from a spoon into the dough and mix thoroughly with the dough.
Divide the finished dough into two parts. A smaller piece should be 1/4 of the whole test. From it we will make a cake on which the cake will be built, from the rest we will make small cookies - the bricks of our sweet pyramid.
