Unusual "PIPE" Cake

You will need
DOUGH:
*3.5 cups flour
*3 sticks of butter of margarine
*250-300 grams sour cream
*pinch of salt
*baking soda (just a pinch)
*cranberries or raisins or whole preserved sour cherries.
FROSTING:
*chocolate butter-cream
*plain butter-cream or any other frosting

LET'S GET STARTED

 Use butter at room temperature (soft) but don't melt it. Just mix all ingredients together. Boil water and let cranberries sit in hot water for about 15 min. Drain water. Divide your dough into even parts. Roll out strips, add cranberries in the middle and form a long "sausage" or little balls or short "sausages" to fill the inside. It doesn't really matter. Try to make your pieces not to thick or thing and with identical consistency.
Bake 480F until golden-brown. It should be done pretty soon. Let it cool completely. If you want your cake to have a few layers use smaller diameter baking pans for the same recipe. I strongly recommend to moisturizer your baked product by spraying with either sugar syrup or any juice. Let it get absorbed and soften the dough.

Layer baked pieces with chocolate butter-cream. Decorate with any frosting on top. I decorated the sides with crumbled dough leftovers. On top I sprinkled cocoa powder. Also I placed a few dark and white chocolate chips, raisins and nuts. 





THE END
