Iceberg cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the cake. Let's start with the biscuit. For a small cake for a family of three, a sponge cake made from two large chicken eggs is enough. Place the chilled chicken eggs into a blender bowl.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add sugar and use a blender or mixer to beat the ingredients until a thick white foam forms.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add a pinch of vanillin, baking powder and sifted wheat flour to the egg mixture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Gently mix the ingredients with a spoon or whisk so that the foam does not settle. The dough is ready. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the baking sheet with parchment. Grease it with butter. Pour the dough onto the parchment, distribute it evenly over the surface of the sheet so that the dough does not reach the edges. Bake the sponge cake for about 30 minutes, focusing on the operation of your oven and the size of the sponge cake. We check readiness with a wooden toothpick; it should come out dry.

6. STEP 6

   

   Remove the finished biscuit from the oven and let it cool slightly directly on the parchment. Carefully cut out a circle from the biscuit on a plate of the required size. Cut the remaining dough into small pieces of arbitrary shape.

7. STEP 7

   

   Preparing cream for the cake. Place heavy cream or sour cream in a deep bowl. Add sugar and vanillin.

8. STEP 8

   

   Beat with a mixer or blender until thick foam forms. Let the cream cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the biscuit crust on a plate and brush it with cream.

10. STEP 10

    

    Dip the sponge cake pieces into a bowl of cream and place them on the sponge cake circle to form a mound.

11. STEP 11

    

    We clean the walnuts, wash them, dry them in the microwave or in a dry frying pan, put them in a bag and crush them into coarse crumbs with a rolling pin.

12. STEP 12

    

    Sprinkle walnuts on top of the cake.

13. STEP 13

    

    Break the milk chocolate into pieces, put it in a metal bowl, pour in the milk. Melt the chocolate, stirring constantly, in a water bath or over low heat until the glaze is uniform in consistency.

14. STEP 14

    

    Let the glaze cool slightly and pour it over the cake. You can decorate the cake with fresh strawberries if you wish.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place the cake in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak. Enjoy your tea!
