The cake is very easy to bake - even with ease, so there should be no difficulties. I would like to point out that the quantity of products listed is for a large cake for a similarly large company. If you want to bake a more "intimate" version, you can reduce the ingredients.
The dough is very tender, soft, and melts in your mouth, and it keeps well for several days. As for the cut - you can see it all yourself, it's just a surprise for those with a sweet tooth.
The cake is very convenient because it can be served without the help of a knife - just "break" it into separate parts - "snowballs".
What you need for the cake:
for the filling - 30-40 pieces of pitted prunes,
30-40 pieces of peeled walnuts,
250 ml of wine or liqueur;
for the dough - 3 eggs,
1.5 cups of sugar,
1 teaspoon of baking soda, quenched with vinegar,
300 g of margarine,
4.5 cups of flour;
for the cream -
400-500 g of thick sour cream,
200 ml of cream,
2 cups of sugar;
for decoration - 1 bar of dark and 1 bar of white chocolate.
Soak the prunes in wine or liqueur - preferably overnight, but a couple of hours will work too:
Beat the eggs with sugar until completely dissolved.
Add the quenched soda:
Chop the flour with margarine.
Combine the egg mixture with the flour and quickly knead the dough. I also added 3 tablespoons of sour cream - for softness:
It is advisable not to knead the dough for too long - although, in principle, it is already very pliable, soft, and problem-free. The main thing is not to "overdo" it with flour...
Now we take the prepared prunes out of the alcohol and stuff them with halves of walnuts - like this:
Divide the dough randomly into equal pieces.
From each piece, shape a ball in your palm. The number of balls will determine how many parts the cake will have.
In the center of each ball, place a prune with a walnut and seal it.
Place the finished balls on a baking sheet lined with paper.
Now, put the baking sheet in the oven at 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes - watch them, they should be slightly baked, but it's important not to over-dry them! You can easily check if they are ready with a dry stick...
Now for the soaking cream. Whip the cream (I used 33%) with sugar:
Gradually add the sour cream, continuing to whip. It should form a rather thick mass. Adjust the sugar to your taste; you can add less.
Now we start to layer our "snowballs" in a mold. Cream - layer of cookies - more cream... And so on until the very top.
There is an even simpler option: in a large bowl, just pour in the cookies and cover them with cream - let them sit for 10 minutes, then arrange the soaked balls on a plate in a mountain shape...
Well, the bowl is all filled, pour the remaining cream on top and place the bowl in the cold - ideally overnight.
In the morning, the "mountain" is ready - it comes out of the mold easily:
Now we melt the dark chocolate in a water bath or with a little vegetable oil:
And pour it over the cake - completely or partially.
Grate the white chocolate or melt it, let it set, and then scrape off the shavings with a spatula or knife.
When the dark chocolate sets, sprinkle the white chocolate on top like snow:
The cake is served on the table already "snowed":
