👨‍🍳 Method

1
Gently mix the sour cream, sugar and vanilla, without beating in air.
Bowl
💡Mix gently, don't whip: air bubbles in the topping burst during baking, and the white layer comes out pitted instead of smooth.
2
Take the cake out of the oven, carefully spread the topping over it, smooth it and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
