Classic anthill cake with boiled condensed milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 18 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Anthill cake with boiled condensed milk? Prepare your food. The base of the cake is shortbread dough. Therefore, to prepare it, take good quality butter or margarine. Sour cream is better suited with 20% fat content.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the cream according to the classic recipe, butter and boiled condensed milk are used. To reduce the calorie content of the cake, I will replace the butter with 20% fat sour cream. Products for preparing the cream should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the dough. How to make the dough? Chop the butter into cubes with a knife. If it is at room temperature, you can use it like this, mashing it with a fork. Add granulated sugar to the butter and rub the mixture well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Gradually add sour cream to the sugar-butter mixture, continuing to thoroughly grind it until the sugar dissolves.

5. STEP 5

   

   Sift the flour with baking powder and add it to the ingredients in portions, kneading the dough. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

6. STEP 6

   

   The dough should become thick, but there is no need to knead it for a long time - as soon as it comes together in a lump, stop kneading.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the dough into several parts (I have 3), wrap each part in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   After the specified time, turn on the oven to preheat to 200 degrees. Now you need to chop the cooled dough to bake it into small pieces. I pass the dough through a meat grinder. You can also: cut into noodles, grate on a coarse grater or tear into pieces with your hands. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the baked goods are golden brown.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cool the finished pieces of dough to room temperature and knead them with your hands: the structure should be heterogeneous, let there be large pieces and very crumbs in the cake.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the cream. How to make cream? Mix the ingredients for the cream (at room temperature) until smooth. I repeat once again that the classic recipe uses butter to prepare the cream; I replace it with sour cream to reduce the fat content of the finished product.

11. STEP 11

    

    Mix the prepared cream with the sand base in a deep bowl.

12. STEP 12

    

    Next, form the cake into the desired shape (slides). To do this, lay out the dough in parts, giving it a mound shape. Or line a container (bowl) with cling film, place the dough and cream there, compact it, and then turn it over onto a cake plate. The finished cake can be decorated as you wish - with chocolate, nuts, poppy seeds, or you can leave it as is. To soak the dough with cream, it is better to leave the cake in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

13. STEP 13

    

    This is the cut the cake gets the next day after baking. Bon appetit!

I've heard about this cake, but I've never tried to make it, I'll correct myself. I know a similar recipe for a cake with condensed milk and cookies without baking.

I have loved Anthill cake since childhood. I usually cook it simply with boiled condensed milk. This recipe is a little different from my usual recipe, so I decided to try it. Classic Anthill cake with boiled condensed milk contains sour cream, both in the dough and in the cream. This is the main difference from my usual recipe. This cake turned out to be moderately sweet, more pliable, and it is easier to mix cookies with this cream than just with condensed milk. I decided to put the mixed dough in a bowl to harden, and then turned it over, I got a nice little mound. I decided not to decorate it any more, because I wanted to eat a piece faster. The cake came out very tasty, a little creamy and held its shape well. Thanks for the recipe!
