What dish is most often associated with a holiday? For most, it becomes clear that the product in question is cake. This large creamy dessert is prepared everywhere for birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. Without a cake, the holiday already seems incomplete.
One may wonder – how did people used to celebrate significant dates without cakes? There were analogs of the dessert, more like pies.
Let’s create a homemade cake from simple products.
Ingredients for cake crusts:
- eggs – 2 pcs;
- condensed milk – 280 g;
- salt – a pinch;
- butter – 100 g;
- flour – 160 g;
- leavening agent – tsp.
Ingredients for the cream:
- egg yolk – pcs;
- sugar – 150 g;
- starch – 2 tablespoons;
- milk – 500 ml;
- butter – 180 g.
Cake preparation:
To prepare the cream, mix in a saucepan yolk and granulated sugar until the grains of sand are dissolved. Pour the starch to the yolk, pour in the milk. Over medium heat, cook the mixture until thickened.
Next, transfer the cream base into a plate and cover with cling film.
While the base is cooling, prepare the dough for the crust – mix the eggs with condensed milk. To balance the flavor, add salt and stir.
Melt butter in the microwave and pour into the egg mixture. Sift the flour combined with the baking powder into the egg mixture, knead a homogeneous dough without lumps.
Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking tray
.
Distribute the dough evenly, bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
Divide the biscuit into 4 equal strips
.
While the cakes are cooling, in a separate bowl beat butter with a mixer.
Gradually pour the cooled cream base into the whipped butter and continue to whip. Smear the surface of each cake with the obtained cream.
Create a pattern on the cream layer with condensed milk.
Roll up the first cake into a roll, and then layer the next cakes on the roll.
Smear the cake with cream on the sides and on the top. Decorate the cake with chocolate chips if desired, make roses from the cream.
Let the cake soak in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
This is an easy-to-make budget cake.
