Method of preparation

1. Separate the whites from the yolks. Mix the egg whites with 1/2 cup of sugar and refrigerate.

2. Melt the butter. Let it cool.

3. Mix the egg yolks with the butter and cream.

4. Add the baking soda quenched with vinegar and the flour. Knead the dough.

5. Divide the dough into 28 equal sized balls.

6. Refrigerate the dough balls for 30 minutes.

7. Roll out each ball of dough into a surface 20-25 cm long and 3-4 cm wide.

8. Prepare the filling: chop the walnuts with a knife. Soak prunes in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Arrange them on a kitchen towel, then finely chop them.

9. Pour boiling water into the pot of poppy and let it soak for 20-25 minutes.

10. Drain the water from the poppy through a gauze net, arranged in a colander. Allow the poppy seeds to drain well. Keep it at room temperature until the poppy seeds dry. Mix the dried poppy seeds with 2 tablespoons of sugar.

11. Arrange the filling on the tops of the dough. Thus, you will get 9 tops with prunes, 9 with walnuts and 10 with poppy seeds.

12. Roll the tops with filling. Bake the rolls obtained in the oven preheated to the temperature of 180°C for 15 minutes.

13. Prepare the cream: line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the cream into it. Put it in a cold place for 5-6 hours, so that the whey drains.

14. Beat the cream with sugar.

15. Prepare a larger platter. Grease it with cream.

16. Assemble the cake: arrange the first 7 rolls with different filling. Brush them with cream.

17. Followed by another 6 rolls and again a layer of cream with sugar. Assemble the pyramid-shaped cake in this way until you use all the rolls.

18. Grease the cake with cream. It must be completely covered with cream.

19. Take the egg whites out of the fridge, beat them stiffly. Decorate the sides (smaller) of the cake with the obtained cream.

20. Sprinkle with grated chocolate.

21. Refrigerate the cake and let it soften for 24 hours.
