Moldovan Cherry Crepe Cake - Kushma lui Gugutza

This cake is delicious, fast and good-looking. The filling is usually sour cream (and I recommend 30% fat cream, to make it thick and not runny). You can also make homemade whipped cream using liquid cream.

This time, I chose a new filling, similar but a little fluffier and with a slightly different taste. I saw this recipe somewhere on the internet and I really liked the idea of combining fermented sour cream with sweet cream and condensed milk. It was really good, I recommend it for other cake recipes too.
