Rich Chocolate Walnut Sour Cream Cake

Chocolate-nut cake with soaking and sour cream. The cake turns out very chocolatey due to the density of the dough. The dough is first prepared like a biscuit, but more flour is added, plus cocoa powder. Measure cocoa in level tablespoons. The density and porosity of the finished cake is clearly visible in the photo.
