Of course, you can do it even easier and assemble a cake from ready-made chocolate cakes or cookies. But if you have the opportunity to use the oven, then it's simply a sin not to bake the most delicate chocolate dessert, especially since you already have the recipe. However, we will reveal to you the secrets of each of these options.
German chocolate cake
The easiest cake recipe that doesn'twill require additional time from you to prepare the cream. You just need to knead the dough and bake the cake. But there is one little secret here - the icing for the cake is made while the dough is still being prepared. Tempting? Then let's try it! Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups of sugar
- A glass of fresh milk
- A glass of refined vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons with a slide of cocoa powder
- Bag of baking powder
- A packet of vanilla sugar
For decoration, take almond petals orwhite chocolate. Preparation: Turn on the oven and heat it up to 180 degrees. Break all four eggs into a bowl, add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar and beat well until white. Now pour milk and vegetable oil into the egg-sugar mixture and add cocoa powder. First, mix carefully so that the cocoa does not spray when beating, and then take the mixer again. Beat the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved in the liquid. Now pour out one glass from the resulting mixture - this will be our chocolate glaze. Pour sifted flour into the remaining mixture and knead the dough for our cake. Pour it into a greased and floured form (it is better to take one with removable sides) and put it in the oven. Bake the cake for about thirty minutes, and check the readiness with a test on a dry stick. To do this, pierce the top of the cake with a toothpick or a wooden skewer, listen to the stick and look. If there are no wet lumps of dough on the skewer, our cake is ready. Take it out of the oven and remove it from the mold. Immediately, while the cake is still hot, cut it crosswise into two parts (making two cakes). Pour the glaze over the bottom cake, cover with the second cake and glaze the cake on top and on the sides. Sprinkle with almond petals or white chocolate shavings. Or you can decorate the cake with both petals and shavings. Leave our work of culinary art to cool. During the cooling process, the glaze will set on the hot cakes. Inside, it will soak the cake, and on top it will be shiny and smooth.
Chocolate cake made of biscuit cakes
A very tasty cake can be made from ready-made sponge cakes. In this case, we will not have to bake anything, but we will need to prepare the cream. Ingredients:
- Packing of chocolate biscuit cakes
- Bank of condensed milk
- A pack of butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- Chocolate shavings for decoration
Preparation:We only need to prepare the cream, which we will make buttery. To do this, put the butter in a bowl and let it melt a little - it should become soft. Now take a mixer and lightly beat the butter, and then continue beating, pouring in small portions of condensed milk. If you pour in all the milk at once, the cream will come out liquid. At the end of beating, add a pinch of vanillin and cocoa powder. The finished cream should come off the sides of the pan well. When the cream is ready, put it in the refrigerator for literally ten minutes, and then begin to assemble the cake. If desired, the cakes can be soaked in sweet syrup, but, as a rule, factory-made biscuit has a fairly porous structure and does not need additional soaking. So, stack the cakes, smearing each layer with cream. The top of the cake and its sides are also smeared with cream. The sides of the cake can be sprinkled with nut or shortbread crumbs, breadcrumbs or oatmeal dried in a frying pan. Decorate the top with butter cream and chocolate chips. You can also sprinkle it with cocoa powder - it all depends on your imagination and experience.
Chocolate cake from cookies
A very simple recipe that allows you to quickly prepare a delicious chocolate cake. A great option for when there is no opportunity to bake the cakes in the oven. Ingredients:
- About a kilogram of cookies
- Bank of condensed milk
- A pack of butter
- A glass of milk
- Vanillin
- 3-4 tablespoons of cocoa powder
Preparation:A delicious cake can be made from any rectangular cookies. But the main thing is that they should be thin, otherwise the cake will be dry. For a chocolate cake, it is preferable to take chocolate cookies, but any other will do, just without fruit flavors. So, let's prepare the dish on which we will assemble the cake. Now we need to make butter cream. To do this, beat the softened butter with condensed milk, and at the end of beating, add a pinch of vanillin and cocoa powder. Then everything is simple. Take the cookies, dip them in milk and put them on the dish. Assemble the first layer of the cake from the cookies and coat it with cream. The second layer is also made of cookies soaked in milk. We arrange it like brickwork: the top cookie - on the seam between the two lower ones. Grease this layer with cream, and then put another one. We lay out all the cookies in this way - the number of layers depends on the size of the cake. Finally, coat the top and sides of the cake with cream and sprinkle it with cookie crumbs. Leave the cake in a warm place for a couple of hours to soak, then put it in the refrigerator. This is how quickly and easily you can make a delicious chocolate cake. So choose a recipe and try it – the result will definitely please you. The main thing is to cook with pleasure. Bon appetit and success in the culinary field!
