  13. Divide the cream into two parts, add prunes cut into small pieces into one. Stir the cream.
  14. On a layer of biscuit, coffee-impregnated crust, add cream with prunes. Smear the side surface, top of the cake with cream without prunes. Decorate the cake to your liking. To decorate the cake in the recipe, confectionery sprinkles were used, snowflakes were made from sugar mastic.
