Decorate “Karpaty” with coconut flakes.

Polish Karpatka cake, combining thin cakes based on choux pastry and a delicate milk layer, is a wonderful dessert for hospitable tea parties, special events or modest gatherings with the family. A successful combination of a sweet, enveloping cream and a bland flour part forms a pleasant and not cloying confectionery product, which will surely appeal to those with a sweet tooth of all ages.

The choux pastry is prepared in the standard way, as in the formation of the well-known French and popular ones. For those who have already dealt with at least one of the above desserts, making “Karpatka” will seem extremely simple. We recommend that novice cooks who are not yet familiar with choux pastry practice and hone their skills using this recipe. It’s not for nothing that the Karpatka cake is often called a large or “lazy” eclair - the taste is very similar, and the preparation is much simpler, since the flour base is baked in one cake layer.

Ingredients:

For the test:

  • butter - 100 g;
  • flour - 150 g;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • water - 250 ml;
  • eggs - 5 pcs.

For cream:

  • milk - 500 ml;
  • sugar - 170 g;
  • vanilla sugar - 10 g;
  • flour - 50 g;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • potato starch - 25 g;
  • butter - 200 g.

For registration:

  • powdered sugar - 1-2 tbsp. spoons.

Cake “Karpatka” recipe with photos step by step

How to prepare dough for Karpatka custard cake

  1. First of all, measure and sift 150 g of flour through a fine sieve. We will work with the dough quickly, so everything you need should be ready right away.
  2. Next, pour water into a thick-bottomed pan and add a pinch of salt. Add butter, cut into cubes. Place on low heat.
  3. When the oil fragments are completely dissolved and the liquid boils, add all the flour. Remove from heat and immediately, without wasting a minute, knead the mixture very quickly. As soon as the butter-flour mixture turns into a single composition, return the pan to the stove.
  4. We continue to actively mix the dough for 1-2 minutes, setting the heat to minimum. It is necessary to obtain a plastic mass that easily lags behind the bottom/walls of the pan. After removing from the heat, place the dough in a clean bowl and cool.
  5. Add eggs to the now cooled flour mixture, one at a time, stirring the dough thoroughly each time.
  6. We achieve a homogeneous, smooth composition. The dough will be shiny, viscous and viscous.
  7. We line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, approximately 36x32 cm in size (no less!) - the layer of dough should not be thick. If you don’t have a large baking tray, divide the flour mixture in half and bake in two batches. Level the choux pastry as much as possible so that the cake bakes evenly.
  8. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. The cake should rise in tubercles and brown well.
  9. After cooling completely, cut the baked cake into two equal parts.

    Cream for custard cake “Karpatka”

  10. In a large heat-resistant container, combine all the dry ingredients - flour, starch, salt, vanilla and simple sugar. Mix.
  11. After bringing to a boil and removing from heat, little by little add hot milk to the dry ingredients (about half the serving). Stir very thoroughly, leaving no lumps.
  12. Pour the resulting mixture into the remaining milk and return to the stove. Cook the cream over low heat, stirring carefully and continuously. As soon as the mass thickens, remove from the stove and cool.
  13. Beat softened butter until fluffy.
  14. In small portions, introduce the completely cooled milk mass, continuing to work with the mixer. We get a thick, fluffy cream that holds its shape well and does not spread.
  15. Assembling the cake. First place one part of the cake on a suitable dish. Apply all the cream, trying to distribute it as evenly as possible.
  16. Next, cover the cream layer with the second part of the cake and press down lightly. Sprinkle the cake with sifted sweet powder.
  17. Before tasting, put the product in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours so that the cream layer “hardens” and the cake itself holds its shape well when cut. Divide the finished dessert into portions and serve.
