Pancho cake - general principles and methods of cooking
Sour cream cake “Pancho” can be easily put on a par with such famous cakes, which are “Prague” and “Bird's Milk”. Delicate biscuit cakes soaked in a delicious cream cream and poured with aromatic chocolate icing on top - this is what makes up the great taste of this culinary masterpiece.
By the way, Pancho has quite a few other names, among them “Roly” and “Curly Pinscher”. Perhaps he is familiar to you under these names! Many inexperienced cooks confuse “Pancho” with the cake “Graf ruins”. But, despite its external similarity, these two representatives of the sweet world have a completely different composition, and, accordingly, significantly differ in taste.
Skillful confectioners working in the company “Fili - Baker” keep the recipe of their famous creations in secret. But if you try very hard, you can find analogues of “Pancho”. And the reason lies not in the fact that some particularly curious hostess managed to reveal a secret recipe, not at all! The fact is that the recipe for this cake was found quite by accident during the “survey” of grandmothers, aunts and neighbors for interesting recipes. Representatives of the company liked one of the recorded recipes so much that they decided to start production of this cake on the Russian market and immediately gave this name, which is now known to everyone.

Let's open the secret curtain and list those products without which the “Pancho” cake simply won't take place. So, to make this extraordinary delicacy, you need fresh eggs, cocoa powder, good flour, sifted through a sieve, soda and lemon juice.

Pancho Cake - the hostess to the note
- For baking cakes, a shape from 20 to 25 cm is best suited. This is a standard size that will allow the cake to be baked evenly;
- All the ingredients before cooking the cake and cream should have the same room temperature, so we strongly recommend that you get everything from the refrigerator in advance and allow the products to get the appropriate temperature;
- To make the cake more lush and tender: first, sift the flour, secondly, when baking the cake, do not rush to remove them from the oven, and even more so - from the form. Give them a little brew, cool, and only then, holding the form over the steam (to better leave the cake and did not crumble), release it;
- The readiness of the cake is checked in the classical way: a match or a toothpick. If it is dry and clean, then the cake is ready;
- To improve the taste of future cakes, beat the proteins separately from all the ingredients - long and thoroughly, and only then you can gradually pour in (pour in) other ingredients.
