Cake has a rather complex history of origin. It is known about the first cakes that they originated in ancient Rome. However, for a long time the industry of confectionery art did not develop. For this reason, cakes up to the XVII century were considered sweet honey bread without cream and other modern attributes of the dessert.
In England, it was believed that cakes are the pies of lovers
.
Therefore, pieces of sweet pastries were placed next to the bed of the bride or groom for sweet dreams.
Let’s tell you how you can prepare at home a bright cake – “Sunny Blizzard”.
Biscuit ingredients:
- eggs – 2 pcs;
- flour – 50 g;
- sugar – 40 g;

Ingredients for the cream:
- canned apricots – 850 g;
- cream 33% – 300 ml;
- sugar – 180 g;
- sour cream – 70 ml;
- gelatin – 30 g;
- vanilla sugar – 10 g.
Preparation of the cake:
It is necessary for the preparation of the sponge cake to divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Whites beat with a mixer to a lush foam, gradually pour salt and granulated sugar.
Next, add the yolks, one at a time, and continue beating until homogeneous
.
Gradually sift flour into the protein mixture, stir gently with a spatula to maintain a lush dough structure.
Place the dough in a baking
dish
lined with parchment
.
Bake the biscuit for 25 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven.
Cool the biscuit, remove the parchment from the surface. Remove the crust with a knife. Also remove about cm from the edges of the biscuit.
Place the biscuit in a pastry ring, soak with apricot juice from the canned apricots. Mix 180 ml of apricot juice with gelatin and leave to swell.
For the cream, chop the apricots in a blender

.
Separately in a blender grind cottage cheese, combined with 100 grams of sugar and sour
cream
.
In a separate bowl at low speed of the mixer whip cold cream
.
Gradually pour the rest of the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar into the cream.
To the thick cream pour the cottage cheese mass, mix the components. Heat gelatin in the microwave to 50 degrees Celsius, pour ½ of it into the apricot mush
. The second part of the gelatin is poured into the cottage cheese and cream mixture, beat the components with a mixer until the products are completely combined.
Pour the cottage cheese
mixture
onto the biscuit in a pastry ring
.
Next, pour the apricot mush in a pattern over the cottage cheese mixture.
With a fork and a spoon we recommend drawing a pattern on the cake. We put the dessert in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
