Method of preparation:

1. Let's start with the preparation of cakes. To do this, beat the eggs with sugar.

2. Add melted butter and kefir to the resulting mass. Mix well.

3. Add flour and cocoa. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 40 minutes.

4. After 40 minutes, take the dough out of the refrigerator and add the baking soda and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

5. Pour the resulting dough into the mold. Bake at 180 degrees for 70-75 minutes.

6. It is best to wrap the finished sponge cake in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours. This will make it easier to cut into individual cakes.

7. Next up is the cream. For this, mix the condensed milk with water, sugar, flour and cocoa. Put on the fire and bring to a boil.

8. Cover the finished cream with cling film and let it cool to room temperature.

9. Beat the cooled cream together with soft butter until fluffy.

10. Form the cake. Divide the sponge cake into three separate cakes, cutting off the top. Assemble the cake, spreading cream over each layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

11. Decorate the cake as desired. Sprinkle with crumbs and coconut.
