Squirrel Cake

A very delicious cake will please both children and adults who love nuts! Very, very tasty, fragrant and hearty cake for a family celebration or to meet guests. Interesting nut cakes are perfectly combined with boiled condensed milk cream with butter and sour cream. You can use any nuts: walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, Brazilian or others. Choose the ones you like! There are a lot of variants of the recipe for the Squirrel cake. I chose this recipe because I really liked the fact that nuts go into the dough. As a result, the cakes have an interesting structure, taste and aroma. And the cream is familiar to many. You can buy condensed milk already boiled, or you can cook it yourself.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 2 h 30 min

Step 1:
Products for making cakes. The flour must be sifted. Nuts -split and peel from the shell, and you can buy already peeled and save time. Then the nuts should be fried in a hot frying pan without oil until slightly ruddy, but do not get carried away: if you overdo the nuts, the cakes will get an unpleasant smell and taste of burnt.
Step 2:
We begin the preparation of cakes by melting, stirring, butter in a saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 3:
Roasted nuts are passed through a meat grinder or crushed in a blender. In a deep bowl, mix flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, add the ground nuts, mix everything thoroughly.
Step 4:
In another container, beat the eggs a little with a mixer, add sugar, beat further until a thick foam forms.
Step 5:
Add sour cream to the egg mixture, mix.
Step 6:
Then pour in the cooled melted butter, mix everything thoroughly.
Step 7:
Pour the dry nut-flour mixture into the egg mixture in parts, mixing thoroughly each time so that there are no lumps. The dough for cakes turns out to be quite thick.
Step 8:
Cover the baking dish with parchment paper, grease with butter. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of dough on paper with a tablespoon and level it.
Step 9:
Bake the cakes in a preheated 200 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. In total, you should get 5-6 cakes. Let the cakes cool down to room temperature, then remove the parchment paper from them carefully (when hot, the cakes break).
Step 10:
While the cakes are being baked, we prepare a cream from the prepared products: beat boiled condensed milk with softened butter. Add sour cream and mix thoroughly until smooth. We put it in the refrigerator so that the cream acquires a denser consistency, i.e. it becomes thicker.
Step 11:
We spread the cooled cakes on top of each other on a dish, layering them with a slightly cooled cream.
Step 12:
Grease the sides and top of the cake with cream. We decorate the top of the cake at will.
Step 13:
You can sprinkle it with crumbs from cakes, crushed waffles or chocolate. Any nuts or seeds, coconut chips. The cake should be left in a warm place for an hour so that the cakes are soaked with cream. The cake will become even tastier if it is then cooled. If you have time, leave it in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours. And now invite your family or guests to a tea party with a very tasty cake. Bon appetit!
