Chopped cake with condensed milk

Name: Chopped cake with condensed milk
Total time: 3 h
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 200 g Butter; 400 g Wheat flour; 1 Eggs; 0.5 cup Water; 100 g Butter; 1 can Condensed milk

A cake prepared according to the rules of exemplary housewives of the 19th century! While studying Chopped Cake recipes on Internet sites, I was interested in the fact that there were, as it were, two recipes under the same name. The description of the cake and the cream are similar, but the recipe for the crust dough is different. I note that there are 2 similar cakes: Stepka-Rastrepka" and "Homemade Napoleon". I found the answer in the book "Model Kitchen" published in 1892. At that time, in addition to such well-known types of dough as: Puff pastry, choux pastry, etc. , there was also Chopped dough, as it was called based on the principle of preparation, frozen butter was chopped together with flour into cereals and the dough was kneaded with this. Moreover, the book offered 2 recipes: 1 - from Chukhonsky butter, flour, eggs and water, which is what I used To prepare the cakes, of course, I replaced Chukhonian butter with butter. 2 - from butter, flour, eggs and sour cream (so similar to the “Homemade Napoleon” cake). The dough rolls out perfectly and the baked goods are very tasty. Perfect for making cookies, cakes and other confectionery products. What surprised me most was that after soaking overnight, the cakes did not soften, the cake was soaked, and the cakes remained crispy.

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

STEP 1
Ingredients needed to prepare Chopped Cake. The amount of water is indicated approximately, it is better to take a glass of water and add it while kneading the dough, the dough itself will take the required amount.
STEP 2
It is better to chop frozen butter, although I made a small mistake. It is more convenient to chop in a special trough, and not on a board, where you can knead the dough.
STEP 3
Chop finely until it becomes coarse.
STEP 4
Form a slide, make a hole, break an egg into the hole. Knead the dough by adding water.
STEP 5
Form the dough into a log and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Perform all other operations only with cold dough.
STEP 6
For convenience, I cut the bun into equal pieces and then put it in the refrigerator.
STEP 7
Take a piece of dough out of the refrigerator and roll out the cake.
STEP 8
We form a skin for the cake, place it on a cold baking sheet, pierce it with a fork in several places and put it in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. IMPORTANT: cold cakes must go into the oven. For this purpose I use 3 aluminum baking sheets. 2 are in the refrigerator with the cakes, one is in the oven.
STEP 9
Bake the crust until golden brown
STEP 10
Cool the cakes.
STEP 11
We make the cream from boiled condensed milk and butter.
STEP 12
Combine condensed milk and softened butter.
STEP 13
Beat with a mixer.
STEP 14
Coat each cake with cream and form a cake.
STEP 15
Do not lubricate the top; place a weight on it. You should not place a weight, a heavy lid or a heavy plate. Send along with the cargo to the refrigerator overnight.
STEP 16
In the morning, spread the remaining cream over the entire cake.
STEP 17
Sprinkle with crumbs (you can prepare a separate cake and break it into sprinkles) and chocolate pieces.
STEP 18
Can be served for breakfast. Honestly, your family will be delighted with this breakfast.

Thank you for appreciating my work. I like to rummage through literature in my spare time, especially since I still have the library from my grandfather. I would be grateful if you could share a photo of your cake.
