  6. Bake at 180 degrees for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Let the cakes cool down. I do not recommend putting warm cakes on top of each other, as they may stick together.

  7. Prepare the cream. To do this, mix eggs, sugar, flour and sour cream in a cup. Stir until smooth. Put it in a water bath and boil the mass, stirring constantly, until thickened. The finished cream is covered in places of contact with food wrap and put in the refrigerator until it cools completely.

  8. Beat the butter until fluffy. The food processor helped me with this. Gradually add the cooled cream. We put the finished cream in the refrigerator until it is used.

  9. Cooking currant jam. To do this, mix the puree with sugar and warm it up until the first bubbles appear. Add starch diluted in a small amount of water and boil until thickened. Remove from the stove and allow to cool completely. Start assembling the cake. Spread the cream from the pastry bag over the cake. Add the currant jam in the middle. Cover with a second cake and repeat the procedure. Spread only cream on the top of the cake, jam is not necessary to use. Put the finished cake in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight so that it gets soaked and becomes soft and tender.
