Homemade steak-raspregka: cake recipe
Some housewives believe that the process of making a cake at home takes a lot of time and effort. Moreover, most of them think that the consciousness of such a dessert requires only expensive components that are not always found in stores. But this is an erroneous opinion. For example, the cake "Step-rasterka" is done in a few hours and with a minimum set of components.
So, for a tasty treat, we need:
- light flour of the highest grade - from 350 g;
- butter or good margarine - about 250 g;
- cold water for drinking - about 130 ml;
- citric acid - a little (at the tip of a knife);
- sea salt - about ¼ dessert spoon.
All of these components are necessary for the preparation of cakes. As for the sweet cream, then for it we need:
- condensed milk - a standard jar;
- good quality butter - about 250 g;
- walnuts - about 200 g.
Kneading basics
How to make a cake "Step-rasterka" with condensed milk? First you need to knead the dough for cakes. For this, you need to cut high-quality margarine into small pieces, and then combine it with light flour and grind well. As a result, you should get a homogeneous small crumb. After this, a liquid mixture consisting of cold water, citric acid and salt must be added to the bulk. Having mixed all the components together, you should get a pretty tight dough from which you need to make a lump, put it in a bag and send it to the cold (for 60 minutes).
Bake crispy cakes
How to cook dessert “Step-rasterka” (cake) at home? A photo of this treat is presented in this article. Read on.
After that, the dough will be kneaded and cooled, it needs to be removed from the bag and rolled into a thick sausage (with a diameter of 7-8 centimeters). Next, the product must be cut into 9 equal parts. Each piece should be rolled into a round thin layer and baked alternately in the oven, using a cast-iron frying pan as a mold. At the same time, lubricating the dishes with oil is highly not recommended. It should only be lightly sprinkled with flour.
It is desirable to bake cakes at a temperature of 210 degrees for about 3-6 minutes. During this time, the dough will cook well, but will not burn and will not dry.
Making calorie cream from condensed milk
Which cream is best suited for the Stepka raspretka dessert? A cake recipe may include the use of any filling. We suggest applying a high-calorie, but, meanwhile, the easiest cream. To cook it, you need to thaw the cooking oil well , and then beat it with a mixer. Next, to a noticeably whitened butter, you should add condensed milk and continue the mixing procedure. In the end, you should get a very lush and delicate cream.
We correctly form homemade dessert
Before you make a cake "Step-rasterka", you should wait until all cake layers have completely cooled. I would like to emphasize that after heat treatment the baked sheets become quite fragile, and they break very quickly. That is why if you need to give your home treat a special shape, then it is recommended to cut it out before the heat treatment process.
So, after all the cakes are baked, you need to take a large cake and put one of the products on it. Having greased it with condensed cream, it is required to lay out the next cake and carry out all the same actions with it. In the end, you should get a fairly high cake. On its entire surface, it is recommended to apply a sweet cream abundantly, including the side parts.
Decoration process
To make the Stepka-rasterka cake not only tasty, but also beautiful, it is advisable to cover it with nuts after forming it. To do this, sort and rinse the walnuts, and then dry them in a pan or in the microwave. Next, the product must be crushed into crumbs using a knife, mortar or blender.
How to present to the table?
After the “Stepka-rasterka” cake is ready, it is recommended to immediately place it in the refrigerator. After a few hours, dessert can be safely served to guests. To do this, it needs to be cut into several parts, put into saucers and presented to the table with a cup of tea.
The new recipe for the cake "Step-rasterka" step by step
We have already said that the presented dessert can be made according to different recipes. The classic version has been described above. Now I want to talk about a new method of cooking cake "Step-rasterka". For him we need:
- light flour - from 3 glasses;
- expensive margarine, good quality - about 300 g;
- cold water for drinking - 2/3 cup;
- table salt - ½ dessert spoon;
- apple vinegar - a dessert spoon;
- citric acid - ¼ dessert spoon.
We will need the listed ingredients for the base. As for the cream, then for it should be purchased:
- light flour - 2/3 cup;
- small sugar - 1.6 cups;
- medium eggs - 4 pcs.;
- fresh milk - 0.75 l;
- vanillin - at will;
- high-quality butter - 210 g.
Making the basis for shortcakes
The dough for such a cake is kneading exactly the same as in the previous recipe. To do this, rub the margarine with flour into the crumbs, and then pour the mixture consisting of cold drinking water, table salt, table vinegar and citric acid into them. As a result, you should get a very tight dough, which is recommended to stand in the refrigerator for half an hour.
We form cakes and bake them in the oven
Cake "Step-rasterka" in a pan in the oven is done quite quickly. After preparing the dough, it must be divided into several parts (8-9 pcs.), And then rolled into round layers. If necessary, the edges of the products can be aligned, a plate of the desired diameter is used as a pattern.
It is advisable to bake cakes in the oven for a short time, for 4-8 minutes at a temperature of 210 degrees. After the products are lightly browned, they must be removed and cooled.
Cooking a delicious cream
We decided to use the custard for the cake. To prepare it, you need to beat the yolks with half the granulated sugar, and then dilute them with one glass of cold milk. After that, add wheat flour to the components and mix well so that not a single lump remains in the mass.
As for the remaining milk drink, it should be warmed up a little, and then pour into the previously prepared mixture. Next, the resulting mass must be put in a water bath and cook until thick. After removing the dishes from the fire, the contents must be completely cooled. At this time, you should do protein processing. They need to be whipped until persistent peaks appear along with sugar, and then put in a similar manner in a water bath and, stirring regularly, a little warm.
After all the described steps, the two cooled masses must be combined and mixed. In the future, they need to add soft cooking oil and beat with a blender at the highest speed. In the end, you should get a very delicate and delicious cream that you can immediately use to make a cake.
We form a dessert and serve it to the table
After making custard, you should proceed to the direct formation of dessert. To do this, all baked and cooled cakes must be generously greased with a sweet and tender mass. Also, the cream must be applied to the entire surface of the cake. In conclusion, it can be covered with nut crumbs, chocolate chips, mashed cookies or other pastry decorations. Serving such a treat to the family table is desirable only after two hours of exposure in the refrigerator.
