You can also experiment with the dough. You can work with texture, such as caramelizing with sugar, and then you get a layer of puff pastry with a thin golden crust, which enhances the taste and crunch.

The secret to the success of a layer cake in the winning combination of taste and texture. Crispy dough together with enveloping buttercream is hard to mess up. In addition, for this cake there will always be ingredients in the house.

To prepare the dough, choose the highest grade flour. Be sure to sift it several times. This is necessary to give splendor to the test.
-
Cooking dough for the cake should be in a cool room, otherwise it will "float". All products must also be chilled, including water.

Even how you roll out the dough affects the result. Do this from yourself, in one direction, while constantly turning the rolled dough over. Fold the dough into squares. In this form, put in the refrigerator for a while. Repeat this procedure several times.

The most important thing here is to make a good dough. I had problems with it at first. Later I got used to it and it turned out very tasty. I try to make the cream practically without sugar, it seems to me that it tastes better this way.
