Cooking method

Cooking time: 3 h

Grind butter with sugar until smooth. At the same time, add one egg at a time.

Then add flour, sour cream, lemon essence, brandy to the dough. Knead.

You need to bake Shakotis cake on a special wooden spit.

There are no such houses, as a rule. Therefore, you can take a cake mold with a hole in the center. The bad thing is that the cake will look different - it will lose its beautiful "twigs".
