Ideal male cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a Man's Ideal cake? Before you start making the cake, prepare walnuts, as they will be needed for both the sponge cake and the filling. Chop the nuts with a sharp knife. It is not necessary to grind much, they should be felt. Then fry the nuts in a dry frying pan. Make the fire small and stir them all the time so that they do not burn. Then cool the nuts.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare a sponge cake. How to make a biscuit? In a large bowl, break the eggs, add sugar to them. 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. Beat the eggs with sugar on a high-power mixer until a fluffy light mass.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then add honey, brandy, soda and vanilla to the eggs. It is better if the honey is liquid. If it is thick, then melt it first in a water bath. Take natural and high-quality honey. Pour the sifted flour in portions, each time mixing it gently into the dough with a silicone spatula. 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. Then add a handful of roasted nuts. Mix it up.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the finished dough into a baking dish (I have a diameter of 20 cm) and put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40-50 minutes. Remove the finished biscuit from the mold and cool. Let him lie down for a few hours. Preferably in the refrigerator, wrapped in a bag or plastic wrap. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cut it into cakes because of its softness. Cut the rested biscuit into 4 cakes and soak with sugar syrup (water + sugar).

5. Step 5:

   

   Prepare the cream. For the cream, take soft butter and whisk it with boiled condensed milk. Take the oil of the highest quality, natural, corresponding to GOST. Take it out in advance so that it softens. Condensed milk also choose the best, from a trusted manufacturer. Without vegetable fats and food additives. The composition should contain only two ingredients: milk and sugar. You can cook condensed milk yourself at home.

7. Step 6:

   

   Assemble the cake. Brush each sponge cake with cream and sprinkle with roasted nuts.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cover the finished cake with the remnants of butter cream with condensed milk in a thin layer. Then put it in the refrigerator so that the cake is soaked and the cream freezes. At this stage, you can simply sprinkle the cake on top and sides with ground nuts or biscuit crumbs. And you can decorate it more interesting.

9. Step 8:

   

   Whisk cream with powdered sugar and line the sides of the cake. How to whip cream correctly? Take cream with a fat content of at least 33%. The whipping dishes and the cream itself should be cold. Beat with a mixer at minimum speed, gradually increasing the speed. How do I know if the cream is whipped enough? The creamy mass should retain its shape and not spread. At this point, stop whipping. Otherwise, the cream will turn into butter.

10. Step 9:

    

    Separately melt the chocolate with cream and cool to room temperature. This can be done in a water bath or in a microwave. Take any chocolate, both milk and dark will do, choose according to taste. If the mass is thick, then pour a little more cream.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour chocolate over the top of the cake and use a spoon to make beautiful smudges. Decorate the top of the cake with chocolates and cookies (or other favorite treats). Put it in the refrigerator so that all this beauty freezes. Have a nice tea party!
