Cake Sand temptation with flowers and boiled condensed milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 6 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   So: Beat butter and sugar until white. If you like it sweeter, you can increase the amount of sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat in the eggs and beat again until smooth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add salt, soda and vanillin and mix again.

4. STEP 4

   

   Squeeze the juice of 1 medium lemon and add to the egg-butter mixture. Mix.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now it's the turn of the flour. You will need approximately 1 kg. Add flour gradually and knead.

6. STEP 6

   

   The result should be a lump of shortbread dough that will not stick to your hands or to the cup. If the dough is still sticky, add more flour until the required consistency is formed.

7. STEP 7

   

   Like that.

8. STEP 8

   

   Since it is easier to work with shortcrust pastry when it is chilled, we place the resulting dough on a board sprinkled with flour, form it into a “brick” (this is done for more uniform cooling) and place it in the freezer for 40-45 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   After the time has passed, take it out and divide the dough into 10 equal parts.

10. STEP 10

    

    We leave one part and put the rest of the dough in the refrigerator so that the dough does not heat up. Lightly knead the remaining piece and form it into a round cake.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll out the layer to a thickness of 2-3 mm.

12. STEP 12

    

    Using a rolling pin, transfer the future cake onto a baking sheet. There is no need to grease the baking sheet with anything, just sprinkle it generously with flour. Place the baking sheet with the future cake into the oven, preheated to 150-180 degrees, for 3-5 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    The “varenka” that we will use as a cream should be very thick and under no circumstances should it flow. Otherwise, the cake risks being left without filling.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the finished cake on the table and immediately grease it with condensed milk. The thickness of the layer depends on your desire. For a cake with a diameter of approximately 26-27 cm, it takes about 0.5 cans of condensed milk. Sometimes a little more.

15. STEP 15

    

    Then scatter the berries on top of the condensed milk. I prefer lingonberries, as this berry is sour and well compensates for the sweetness of condensed milk. The cake is not sweet. In addition to lingonberries, you can use cranberries. Goes well too. The amount of berries is to taste. But the more, the better the cake will be soaked.

16. STEP 16

    

    We perform the same actions with the next cake: knead, roll out, bake and immediately hot, from the baking sheet, place on top of the greased cake. Next, smear with condensed milk and pour in the berries.

17. STEP 17

    

    Gradually such a cake is formed.

18. STEP 18

    

    We do not spread the last tenth layer of cake on top.

19. STEP 19

    

    In order for the cakes to be saturated with berry juice and the cake to level out, place it under pressure for 3-4 hours.

20. STEP 20

    

    After the time has passed, we level (cut) the sides of the cake using a lid or a round baking sheet as a rim.

21. STEP 21

    

    Coat the sides and top of the cake with condensed milk.

22. STEP 22

    

    Decorate with chocolate, berries or shortbread crumbs.

23. STEP 23

    

    Ready!

24. STEP 24

    

    Cake in section.

25. STEP 25

    

    This cake holds up well. It can be easily covered and decorated with mastic. Bon appetit and drinking tea!!!

The cake, of course, looks very beautiful... But the calories in it are terrible... I don’t even know, would anyone dare to cook it? So much condensed milk is too much for me... I would divide it into 20 portions instead of 12. Question to the author: isn’t there too much sweetness in the cake? And what can you replace boiled condensed milk with? Is it possible to dilute it somehow so that it takes less?

I made this at home a long time ago, the cake turned out delicious. You just need to have time to place the shortcakes evenly, otherwise they will break quickly. And it’s very tasty. I added milk to save boiled milk...
