Method:
Soak fruits separately for 2-4 hours and then grind them in a mincing machine separately, too. Chop finely walnuts. Dough making: Mix egg, sugar, baking powder, salt, sour cream very well and add flour gradually until the dough is detached well from hands. Divide dough into 9-10 parts. Roll out every part very thinly. Spread the prunes filling on the dough and make a roll. If it is too long, cut it into parts. So you must have three/six prunes rolls, three/six apricots rolls, three/six raisins rolls. If you have some dough and filling make other rolls. Bake them in a preheated oven during 10-15 minutes. Cream making: Mix sour cream with sugar very well and put it in the fridge until it's needed. Let rolls cool down a little and then cut them into pieces (3 cm long). Take a very deep pan, cover bottom and sides with polyethylene. Now make the first layer from prunes little rolls (the rolls must "stand" very tightly to each other). Pour 1/4 cream on it and put chopped walnuts. Then make another layer with apricot rolls, pour cream and use walnuts. Then goes raisins layer, cream. and walnuts, if it's not the last layer. If different little rolls are left, make the fourth combined layer. Spread the cream. Put the pan in a fridge for a night. In the morning prepare a large dish. Turn the pan upside down and take off the polyethylene. Chocolate icing making: Mix sugar and cacao very well and then add milk. Boil on a very little fire during 15 minutes always stirring, then add butter mix well and spread on the top and sides of the cake. Put the cake in the fridge for a half an hour and then decorate it with grate chocolate, fruits and anything you like. Trouhlyavy Pen is very big (about 3 kg), so invite more friends. Served with tea or coffee.
