If you have never tried such a dessert as Pancho cake, then be sure to cook it at home, and step-by-step recipes with photos will help you with this. This is a moist sponge cake with delicate creamy sour cream and fruit interlayer. Traditionally, such a cake is prepared with pineapples, but today there are other options for a delicious treat.

Pancho cake with pineapples

Home-made Pancho cake with pineapples will surely please all those with a sweet tooth. For dessert, you can bake only a light biscuit or, as in the proposed step-by-step recipe with a photo, white and coffee.

Ingredients for the biscuit:

• 160 g flour;
• 4 eggs;
• 230 g sugar;
• 6 g baking powder;
• 20 g cocoa;
• a pinch of salt;
• 8 g vanilla sugar.

For the cream:

• 1 kg sour cream;
• 300 g sugar;
• 15 g vanilla sugar;
• 30 g gelatin;
• 150 ml of water;
• half a pineapple.

Preparation:

• For the biscuit, send eggs, salt into the bowl and beat lightly.
• Add two types of sugar and beat at high speed until a fluffy mass is obtained within 8-10 minutes.

Sift the flour together with the baking powder and send it to the egg mixture, knead the dough

Now we visually divide the dough in half, sift cocoa into one part, and the same amount of flour into the other, so that the chocolate dough does not turn out to be thicker than white

You can bake biscuits in different forms, but there is a more interesting option - in the form of a zebra. Cover the baking sheet with parchment, spread 2 tablespoons of dark dough in the center, and then 2 tablespoons of light dough in the middle. And in this sequence, lay out all the biscuit dough

• We send it to the oven for 15-20 minutes, the temperature is 190 ° C.
• We take out the finished biscuit, cool it and cut it first into strips, and then into squares.

Peel the pineapple and cut it into small pieces

• For the cream, first soak the sheet gelatin in cold water.
• Next, pour regular and flavored sugar into the sour cream, beat until the bulk ingredients are completely dissolved.

After leaving a little cream for decoration, pour melted and already cooled gelatin into the bulk, mix

• Cover the round shape with cling film.
• Dip the pieces of biscuit into the cream, put them in a bowl, put pieces of exotic fruit on top of the first layer. And in this sequence we collect the whole cake.

Then we cover with a film, put a plate on top and a load weighing 1 kg, put it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours

Then we take out the cake, put it on a plate, cover the dessert with the remaining cream and decorate with melted chocolate

If you could not buy a juicy and sweet pineapple, then you can use canned fruits. Gelatin can be replaced with a thickener for sour cream and cream, and natural yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for cream.

Cut the finished and cooled biscuit into two unequal parts, the bottom cake is 1.5 cm high

Cut the top cake into cubes with sides of 2-3 cm

For the cream, take fatty thick sour cream and beat it for 7-8 minutes with the addition of sugar. If the fermented milk product turns out to be liquid, then add a thickener for sour cream or cream
