quickly made and still something for the eye and the palate

Cream the butter, sugar, and eggs until fluffy, add the sour cream, sift in the flour, cocoa, and baking soda, and knead into a smooth batter. Bake at approximately 175°C (350°F) and let the base cool. Divide the base into 2 layers using a piece of twine and spread with the buttercream. Put the layers back together and cover everything with the cream, including the edges. Decorate as desired. Buttercream: Make a pudding from the milk and 1.5 packets of pudding powder according to the instructions. Bring the pudding and butter to room temperature and mix together until a smooth cream forms. Mix in the powdered sugar and almonds to taste. Tip: It’s best to make this 2 days before eating; it will then set really well and be nice and moist.
