And others. But there is something even simpler! Are we reading?

I suggest making a very simple cake, for which you don’t even need to turn on the oven. The cake is cooked in a frying pan. And although it consists of 8 cake layers and custard, you won’t spend much time preparing it. The thing is that the cakes are cooked in a frying pan for only 1-2 minutes.

In just a short period of time, you will have eight cakes ready. All that remains is to coat them with hot custard and let them brew for several hours. Even a child should be able to make this cake!

Dough

• Wheat flour 1.6 tbsp.
• Condensed milk 125 g
• Soda 0.3 tsp.
• Table vinegar 5 ml
• Chicken eggs 1 pc.

Cream

• Butter 100 g
• Milk 250 ml
• Wheat flour 1 tbsp. l.
• Sugar 0.5 tbsp.
• Vanilla sugar 20 g
• Chicken eggs 1 pc.

Combine egg and condensed milk.

Beat with a fork until smooth. Add baking soda and vinegar.

Add flour - knead the dough.

Divide the dough into 8 parts.

Roll each one out onto a floured board into a thin flat cake.

Fry each flatbread in a hot dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Using a plate and a sharp knife, cut out round cakes with a diameter of 13-14 cm.

For the cream we need milk, sugar, flour, egg, butter, vanilla sugar.

Combine milk, egg, flour, sugar. Beat well with a fork or mixer and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add butter and cook for 20 seconds.

Grease the cakes with hot cream.

Cover the top and sides of the cake with cream. Sprinkle with crumbs from the trimmed parts of the cakes (they must be crushed using a food processor).

The cake should sit for 2-3 hours before serving.

Recipe 2: The simplest cake recipe: sponge cake, sour cream

For cream:

• butter - 250 g,
• condensed milk - 400 g.

Grind sugar with eggs, add soda slaked with vinegar, softened butter and honey. Heat all this over low heat until the volume increases. Add flour and knead the dough, divide it into 7-8 parts.

Roll out each piece of dough into a crust and bake them in a greased pan at a temperature of 150 degrees. Cool the cakes and trim their edges.

Grease the top and sides of the cake with cream and cover with crumbs made from cake scraps.

How to prepare cream. It's very easy to do. Thoroughly rub the softened butter with condensed milk, beat the cream and cool well.

Recipe 4: Simple Chocolate Cake

To prepare this delicious chocolate cake you will need the most simple ingredients:

• kefir - 1 glass;
• sugar -1 glass;
• flour - 1 glass;
• chocolate - 1 bar;
• soda - 0.5 tsp;
• cocoa - 2 tbsp. l.

The cake cream will consist of the following ingredients:

• sour cream - 400 ml;
• sugar - an incomplete glass.

Now we have everything to make our homemade chocolate cake. First of all, you need to thoroughly beat the kefir and sugar with a mixer.

Next add cocoa, soda and flour sifted through a sieve. Beat with a mixer until smooth. The consistency of the dough should be like medium fat sour cream.

Place the resulting mass in a silicone (or any other) mold, lightly greased with vegetable oil. Then we send the form with chocolate dough to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, bake for about 30 minutes.

The finished chocolate cake should be cooled to room temperature and cut lengthwise into two parts.

While our chocolate cake is cooling, you can prepare sour cream for it. You don’t need a lot of strength here either: just beat the sour cream and sugar well with a mixer so that all the sugar dissolves. Generously grease the cake layers with the resulting cream and stack them on top of each other.

All that remains is to decorate our wonderfully delicious chocolate cake with grated chocolate. You can use absolutely any chocolate, milk or bitter, as you like. We took dark chocolate and grated it on a coarse grater.

It is best to refrigerate the finished cake for at least a couple of hours so that it is well soaked in the cream and becomes soft and tender.

Recipe 5: Simple Sponge Cake

Dough:

• eggs – 4 pcs.
• wheat flour, grade I – 1.5 cups
• granulated sugar – 2 cups
• soda – 0.5 tsp.
• lemon juice – 1 tsp.
• a pinch of salt

For cream:

• sour cream – 250 grams
• powdered sugar – 1 cup.

First we prepare the cream, because it needs to sit in the refrigerator after cooking.

The cream is the simplest - sour cream. Beat sour cream with sugar. The mass should be light and the sugar should completely dissolve. The resulting cream, as I said, is in the refrigerator.

Now I make the biscuit dough:

I beat the whites separately, then add the yolks, and only then the sugar. The sugar should completely dissolve. After this, gradually, in small portions, add flour. I do this so that there are no lumps, constantly whisking the dough. I quench the soda with lemon juice in a tablespoon and add it to the dough and continue to beat everything together for a while.

I pour the resulting mass into a cake pan, in which I first lined it with baking paper. I bake the sponge cake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. You can check its readiness using a toothpick - pierce the biscuit with it - if the toothpick is dry, the biscuit is ready, if there is still raw dough on it, you need to wait.

After this, I cut the finished sponge cake into three layers and let them cool, and then generously coat the layers with cream.

I decorate the finished sponge cake with cream.

Recipe 6: Quick and tasty cake - with honey

For the cakes:

• Chicken eggs 2 pcs.
• Wheat flour 2 cups.

• Sour cream 700 gr

So, for the cream you will need, first of all, to squeeze out the sour cream, then put it in a wide cup and beat with a mixer, gradually adding sugar. Next, bake the cakes (to do this, mix the ingredients to a consistency like rich sour cream and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes), check their readiness with a wooden toothpick.

Cut the cakes lengthwise and stack them in layers, first coating each with sour cream. The resulting cake may be a little dry, but that's okay - this is how its taste is fully revealed. The top of the cake can be decorated at your discretion either with the same cream or other suitable products.

Cake. Cake is a confectionery product, usually round or rectangular, with fruit, cream, chocolate, etc. As a rule, it consists of several layers.

Initially, cakes were baked only in round shapes. This was associated with the sun and it was believed that baked goods in this shape were a symbol of fertility. This tradition has been preserved in the preparation of loaves and wedding cakes. Decorating cakes with candles also came to us from our ancestors. According to beliefs, it was believed that blowing out candles is a sacred act: along with the smoke from the candles, our desires are carried into the sky, which are sure to come true.

Today, the variety of cakes is amazing. They can consist of several tiers, be decorated with various figures or made in the form of cartoon characters, cars, dolls, etc.

Cakes can be made from sponge, puff, shortbread or waffle dough. Chocolate, cream, marmalade, fruit, jelly, meringue, etc. are used as decorations.

As a rule, cakes are baked to mark some special event. Depending on this, they are decorated accordingly.

All cakes are conventionally divided into three categories:
*real cakes. They are baked whole. These usually include pies, Easter cakes, Easter cakes;
* Italian type cakes. They are also called Neapolitan cakes. The basis of such cakes is a dough crust. There is a filling on it - fruit, cream, etc.;
* prefabricated cakes. This is the most common group of cakes. The dough cakes are baked separately and then laid out in layers, which are soaked and coated with cream.

Depending on the type of dough from which the cake is made, there are also several types:
* French. They are usually prepared from puff pastry or biscuit dough. The puff pastries are baked and then coated with cream and stacked on top of each other. The sponge cake is baked as one large cake, and then carefully cut lengthwise into several cake layers, which are necessarily soaked in some kind of syrup.
* Viennese. These cakes are based on yeast cakes, which are soaked in milk-chocolate or milk-coffee cream.
* waffle. Waffle cakes are most often soaked in boiled condensed milk. Such cakes are stored for a very long time and are easily transported, but the taste is very monotonous.
* sand. As a rule, they are coated with marmalade or fruit and berry filling. These cakes are the cheapest. They are not recommended for people who are prone to obesity.
* "liquid". This type of cake is common in the UK. The base is a biscuit. Method of preparation: place a sponge cake in a deep bowl. Pieces of biscuit of various shapes and sizes are placed on it in a chaotic manner, leaving large gaps between them. This whole mass is filled with cognac syrup, and then with liquid marmalade or butter-egg cream. You can add nuts, raisins, candied fruits. After this, the cake is placed in the cold for a day.
* curd. From the name it is clear that the main component in the dough is cottage cheese.

You can decorate cakes with cream, icing or various decorative elements made of chocolate, marmalade, etc.
