Our Children's Day cake. #children #family

Recently, it was International Children’s Day, and someone was very eager to make a cake together ???????? — and of course, I was the happiest to enjoy such a beautiful moment.
We chose a version that was as simple as possible, but still delicious and loved by everyone.

I thought I’d share this sweet moment with you too, because I feel like you might already be a bit tired of just bread and only me, always alone in the kitchen ????
I hope you enjoy this kind of content, and that I’ll find the courage to make more like this in the future.
This recipe is an old one — from when I was just a little girl. My mom used to make this cake without even using a scale. The rule was simple: for each egg (I used 5), you add one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of flour, plus one tablespoon of neutral oil.

I then divided the batter and added a few drops of different food colorings to create colorful layers, and arranged them in the pan. It baked at 170°C (about 340°F) for 35–40 minutes — depending on your oven, of course. The best way to check if it’s ready is the good old toothpick trick: if it comes out dry, the cake is done!

For the cream, I used 500 g of sweetened sour cream, 100 g of powdered sugar, and 200 g of soft cottage cheese — a simple and light filling that brings back childhood memories.

It’s nothing fancy, but it’s filled with love — just like the cakes our moms used to make. ????
We wish you a beautiful summer, and for the children an active childhood!
