After all, you must agree, this is a great reason to gather around the table for tea. So remember the recipe and don’t put off until tomorrow what you can cook today. Good luck! Ingredients: Dough:
- half a glass of fatty sour cream (if desired, you can replace it with cream)
- two eggs
- 1/4 small spoonful of soda
- a cup of sugar
- two glasses of sifted white flour
- piece of butter - for baking
- pinch of citric acid
- three handfuls of walnuts
- salt - one pinch
Cream:
- butter packaging
- one egg
- a glass of warm pasteurized milk
- a cup of sugar
- Vanillin - to taste
- 60 grams of powdered sugar
Method of preparation:If you rarely deal with dough and are not a high-class pastry chef, do not worry about the future of your nut cake, because its recipe is really easy and accessible to everyone. Anyone can master the dish, the main thing is to put in a little effort and spend time. We suggest baking a sour cream dessert, and prepare butter cream to grease the cakes. Well, let's go on a culinary journey? So, first pour granulated sugar into a bowl, add eggs and thoroughly grind the products so that they form a homogeneous mass. Then add table salt and citric acid, sour cream and soda. Mix the ingredients and sift wheat flour here, using a sieve for this. Now beat everything well with a kitchen whisk, thus getting rid of lumps. Knead the dense dough with your hands, then roll it out with a rolling pin into a thick circle and place it on a greased baking sheet. By this time, the oven should already be preheated to 200 degrees. Bake the dish for about half an hour; to check if it is ready, carefully pierce it with a match. Is the wood dry? Then it is time to take the cake out. When it has cooled, cut it into two equal-sized halves. Grind the top part in a blender, then combine it with crushed walnuts. It is recommended to fry the latter in a dry frying pan beforehand - this will make the dish more appetizing. By the way, you can change the recipe a little, for example, by adding peanuts or almonds. Just a little more, and the sour cream cake will be ready - all that remains is to make the cream and assemble the product. Take 1/3 of the sugar and grind it with the egg. Now put the pasteurized milk on low heat, as soon as it warms up slightly, add the remaining sugar and, stirring, cook until boiling. Then fill a glass halfway with the resulting sweet milk mixture and slowly pour it into the egg mass. When the products are combined, add them to the remaining milk, which is still on the stove. Bring the cream to a boil, then turn off the burner and let it cool. Then add softened, cut into pieces and mixed with powdered sugar butter to the mixture and beat the ingredients into a fluffy, homogeneous mass. The preparation of the nut cake has come to the final stage: draw the cream into a special pastry syringe and apply it to the cake. You can use a regular spoon. Sprinkle the dough with nut crumbs on top and treat with the rest of the sweet sauce on all sides. Put the product in the refrigerator until it hardens. If you wish, decorate the sour cream dessert with chocolate shavings or whipped cream just before serving. As you can see, the recipe is not at all complicated, but the result is amazing - both adults and children will like this appetizing dish.
Strawberry cake with rum and nuts
The recipe will be especially useful in the middle of summerseason, when scarlet juicy strawberries are sold on every corner. This time we suggest making a sponge cake dough, which in combination with rum soaking is a real masterpiece of culinary art. To prepare an appetizing cake with nuts, you will need brown rum, but if you don’t have it, use regular rum. Ingredients:
- a glass of macadamia nuts (crushed in a blender)
- slightly less than a two-hundred-gram package of butter (take about 160 grams)
- flour - 100 grams
- four proteins
- salt
- 1/2 small spoon of baking powder
- 100 grams of sugar
- eight milliliters of rum (we used brown)
- 500 grams of fresh strawberries
- 150 milliliters of creamy cream
- a little sugar powder
For decoration:
- whole nuts
- grated chocolate - optional
Method of preparation:In order not to suffer too much with the dough, we suggest using a simple classic sponge cake recipe. First, turn on the oven to heat up to 190 degrees, and in the meantime, get busy cooking. Grind the nuts in a blender and combine 1/3 of it with soft butter, cut into small cubes. Grind the products thoroughly, then add flour, pre-sifted and mixed with baking powder. Now beat the egg whites, table salt and granulated sugar in a separate bowl, when you are done, carefully pour the resulting mixture into the dough. Here's a little advice: to make the foam thicker, use cold eggs. Mix the sponge cake well, then put it in a round springform pan and put it in the oven. This dough is incredibly tender and sensitive, so do not slam the doors or open the oven door, otherwise you risk ruining the future nut cake. After about 25 minutes, you can take the product out, having first checked its readiness: pierce it with a match and, if it remains dry, feel free to take the dish out. Let it stand for a while, then carefully separate it from the sides of the dish, put it on a board and cool it. In the meantime, sort and wash the strawberries, then cut each berry into two parts. To make a delicate cream, beat the butter, powder and two tablespoons of rum with a whisk; when the mass becomes homogeneous, add ground nuts. Divide the cooled cake with a knife into two circles, grease the first with impregnation and sprinkle with the rest of the alcohol. Then apply a generous layer of cream, put the strawberries and cover with the second biscuit. Treat the cake on all sides with the remaining creamy mass. Now whisk the cream and powdered sugar and, filling a pastry bag, decorate the dish with a beautiful pattern, put in whole nuts, sprinkle with grated milk chocolate if desired. Put the dessert in the refrigerator for half an hour; when it is soaked, call everyone to the table. Enjoy!

Separate the whites and yolks, placing them in different bowls. Then grind the latter with granulated sugar, add crushed walnuts, butter, as well as sour cream and soda, previously slaked with either vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and pour in the pre-sifted wheat flour. Now go back to the whites: beat them with a whisk, then gradually, in a small stream, pour into the dough. Place the resulting thick homogeneous mass in a greased form. Bake the product for no longer than 40 minutes, while the oven temperature should not exceed 190 degrees. Make a delicate cream: mix condensed milk with 50 grams of butter. Then grate the chocolate into strips on a fine grater, and dry the remaining nuts in a frying pan and break into medium pieces. When the sour cream cake is ready and has cooled down a little, cut it into two equal-sized pieces. Apply cream to the bottom "floor" of the dish, then cover it with the second cake and again generously coat it with the sweet mass on all sides. At the very end, you need to decorate the product - sprinkle it with nuts and chocolate. You can buy whipped cream and apply a pattern with it.
