Instructions

Cake Dough

  1. In a large bowl combine flour together with sugar.
  2. Using a fork, stir in the softened room temperature butter. Add in the sour cream and give the batter a good stir.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and vinegar. Add the mixture to the dough and stir until well combined. Place the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour.
  4. Put the dough into a meat grinder to form long, thin strips.
  5. Spread the dough pieces evenly across a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350°F.

Adding Cream to the Cake

  1. Break the baked cake strips into tiny pieces.
  2. Combine the softened butter with the dulce de leche until smooth and creamy. Combine the butter and dulce de leche mixture in a bowl.
  3. Form the cake into the shape of your choice. To look like an anthill, many people create a mount on top of a large plate. Leave it to set in the refrigerator overnight.
