Cake Treat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a Dainty cake? Start cooking with the custard, as it will take time to cool down. Prepare the products for him. Take delicious, high-quality, natural butter, without vegetable fats in the composition. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance so that it softens.

2. Step 2:

   

   How to make cream? Take a saucepan with a thick bottom. Beat an egg into it, add sugar and flour. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

3. Step 3:

   

   Whisk the egg with sugar and flour until smooth. Then start pouring milk into them a little at a time. Mix the milk well with the egg mass, then lumps will not form. Pour in all the milk in this way.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put a saucepan on a small fire and, with constant stirring, bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as the first bubbles appear, immediately remove from the heat. The mass will thicken greatly. Cool it to a warm state.

5. Step 5:

   

   Then add soft butter to the custard base. Use a whisk to mix the mass well. In a warm cream, the oil will disperse quickly.

6. Step 6:

   

   The result is a smooth, shiny, very tasty custard. Cover it with a film "in contact " — so that it lies directly on the surface of the cream. Then a crust will not form on it. Put the cream in the refrigerator, but in the meantime, take care of the cakes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the products for the cakes. The main ingredient is honey, the taste of the whole cake will depend on its quality. Therefore, choose natural, fragrant honey, lime or floral.

8. Step 8:

   

   How to make cakes for a cake? Take a fireproof bowl and beat the eggs into it. Whisk them lightly with a whisk. Add sugar, butter and honey to the eggs. Place the bowl on a pot of boiling water. There should be enough water so that it does not touch the bottom of the bowl.

9. Step 9:

   

   With constant stirring, bring the mass to uniformity. Make the fire under the pan small — the water should boil, but not too much, otherwise the eggs may curdle.

10. Step 10:

    

    Remove the bowl from the pan and pour the soda into it. Mix it up. The mass will turn white and increase in volume.

11. Step 11:

    

    Start pouring flour into the mass in portions, stirring it first with a whisk, and then, when the dough becomes thicker, with a spoon. Unlike a classic cake, the dough in this is not thick, it cannot be rolled out with a rolling pin, so it should be.

12. Step 12:

    

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (top-bottom mode). Take a baking sheet, cover it with baking parchment. Spoon a portion of the dough onto paper and smear it into a circle with a diameter of a little more than 20cm. Make the thickness ~5mm.

13. Step 13:

    

    Put the baking sheet with the cake in the preheated oven. Bake it until it is ruddy, it will take from 6 to 8 minutes, no longer. The cake will rise strongly when baking. While it is baking, prepare the second one by also spreading the dough on paper.

15. Step 14:

    

    Remove the finished cake from the baking sheet, immediately put another one on it and send it to the oven. Cut the baked cake with a sharp knife, using a plate as a stencil. You can not do this, but this way the cake will be neater. Do not throw away the trimmings, they will go to the crumb. Bake all the cakes in this way. I got three pieces, with a diameter of 20cm after pruning. You can make 4, but then they will turn out thinner.

16. Step 15:

    

    Smear the cooled cakes with custard. It turns out a lot of cream, you can not regret it, it will taste better.

17. Step 16:

    

    Brush the top and sides with cream as well. Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to stabilize.

18. Step 17:

    

    Dry the trimmings in the oven on a baking sheet.

19. Step 18:

    

    And then grind them to the state of crumbs. I did it with a rolling pin, you can punch them in a blender.

20. Step 19:

    

    Sprinkle crumbs on the top and sides of the cake.

21. Step 20:

    

    I used walnuts and chocolate to decorate the top. Nuts can be dried in a dry frying pan — they will become more crispy and fragrant. Any chocolate will do — dark, white, milky, like mine. You can take both in tiles and coins.

22. Step 21:

    

    Chop the nuts — in a mortar, blender or knife.

23. Step 22:

    

    Sprinkle them on top of the cake.

24. Step 23:

    

    How to make chocolate frosting? Put the pieces of chocolate in a tight bag, conveniently immediately in the culinary. Boil the water, pour it into a saucepan and cool to a temperature of ~ 60 ° C. Dip a bag of chocolate into hot water. From the heat it will start to melt. Help him with your hands, kneading with your fingers.

25. Step 24:

    

    When the chocolate is completely melted, remove the bag from the water, cut off the tip and apply the icing to the top of the cake.

26. Step 25:

    

    The cake is ready, serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
