Method

1

Combine the milk, salt, and butter, then bring to the boil.

2

Add the sifted flour to the boiling mixture while stirring constantly.

3

Heat the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring continuously until all flour lumps disappear.

4

Remove the mixture from the heat, let it cool to 70–80°C, then add the eggs one by one while stirring until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

5

The finished dough should be a viscous consistency.

6

Grease a baking sheet with margarine.

7

Pipe the choux pastry onto the baking sheet in thin "fingers" using a pastry bag.

8

Bake at 180–200°C for 30–40 minutes. Let cool.

9

Whip the sour cream, gradually adding the sugar.

10

Arrange the baked "fingers" on a serving platter in a stacked log-cabin fashion, generously coating each layer with the frosting.

11

Grate the chocolate on a coarse grater and garnish the cake.

12

Let the cake sit for a couple of hours so it can soak through.
