Cake Number 3

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a Number 3 cake? Start cooking with baking cakes. How to make dough for cakes? Pour sugar into a saucepan with a thick bottom, add butter and honey to it. Put the pan on a small fire. With constant stirring, wait until the butter has completely melted.

2. Step 2:

   

   Then bring the mass to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. It is not necessary to boil for a long time so that the sugar does not begin to caramelize. Add soda to the hot mass. The mass will begin to foam and increase in size.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cool the mixture a little. To cool it down faster, pour it from the pan into another bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add to warm (not hot!) crush the eggs and mix well. 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.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add half of the flour to the resulting mixture. Pre-sift it through a sieve. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking.

6. Step 6:

   

   Knead the dough well with a whisk or spoon, then add the second part of the flour. Knead the dough already with your hands. It turns out soft and sticks to your hands a little. There is no need to add more flour, after cooling the dough will become the desired consistency.

7. Step 7:

   

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for at least two hours (you can even overnight). After the time has elapsed, remove it from the food film, divide it into two equal parts and roll each into a layer 4-5 mm thick directly on the baking paper on which the cake will be baked.

8. Step 8:

   

   Cut out a stencil of numbers from the paper. Put a paper stencil on top of the rolled dough and cut out the figure with a knife.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove excess dough. You will need this dough later for the third cake. From the remains of the dough from the third cake, you can cut out the decor in the form of stars, hearts or flowers. Prick the cake with a fork in several places and send it to the oven to bake at a temperature of 170-180 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Similarly, prepare two more cakes.

11. Step 10:

    

    While the cakes are being baked, prepare the cream. Prepare the products. Cream and cheese should be cold, take them out of the refrigerator immediately before cooking. Choose high-quality, proven condensed milk. Without vegetable fats and food additives. The composition should contain only two ingredients: milk and sugar. As a result, the taste and quality of the finished dish will depend on the quality of condensed milk.

12. Step 11:

    

    How to make cream? Add condensed milk and powdered sugar to the cream.

13. Step 12:

    

    Beat the creamy cream to a good froth, but not to hard peaks.

14. Step 13:

    

    Continuing whipping at low speeds, add cottage cheese to the creamy mixture. Beat it until fluffy and smooth.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put the cream in a pastry bag with a round nozzle (I have an open star nozzle). Put the first cake on the substrate. And put the cream on top of the entire surface of the cake. First make the outline of the figure, as the cake will be open and the cream will be visible. Then fill the middle with cream.

16. Step 15:

    

    Put the second cake on top, cream on it again. Then the third cake and cream. It is not necessary to press down the cakes strongly with your hands. Decorate the top of the cake as desired. For decoration, you can use cookies baked from leftover dough, small chocolates, candies, marshmallows, marshmallows, dragees, berries. Cool the cake for about 2 hours in the refrigerator, then serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
