In our life, there are times when the hostess’s arsenal lacks such an important tool as the oven. A trip to the campsite, repairs and living in a hostel can make it impossible to cook what you want. And sometimes there is no desire to bother with a baking sheet and raise the temperature in the apartment. Some home craftsmen recommend preparing a cake in a pan.
It is very simple and does not take much time. If you decide to make a cake in a pan, then the recipe can be any, but the principle is always the same:
• The dough for shortcakes is kneaded and divided into several parts (sometimes the dough can be liquid and poured into a frying pan, as for pancakes).
• In a hot skillet, each cake is fried on both sides and cooled. With a sharp knife, align the edges of the cakes.
• The cream is prepared in advance and spread on cakes.
• The cake is decorated with chocolate icing or grated chocolate, nuts and coconut, grated wafer or crumbled crumbs, or whatever you like.
Try to make a cake in a pan
Recipe:
• In a water bath, mix and beat eggs (2-3 pcs.), Sugar (a glass), butter (100 g) and honey (about 100 g).
• Introduce a teaspoon of soda topped with vinegar.
• Pour in approximately 3 cups of wheat flour and mix thoroughly.
• The mass will turn golden in 7-8 minutes and you can put it on the table to mix with the remaining flour (1.5 cups). Knead until it stops sticking to your hands.
• On a table sprinkled with flour, roll thin cakes (depending on the thickness, 6 to 10 layers should be obtained). To make all the cakes of the same diameter, use a plate that is suitable in size for your pan.
• Spread cakes on a hot frying pan, leveling with your fingers so that the cakes do not “run away”. Fry the cakes.
• Lubricate still warm cakes with liquid drinking cream and leave under a towel so that they soak and become soft.
• To make a cream that fits best into a cake in a pan, select the recipe yourself from two options. The first option: sour cream - beat 600 g of thick sour cream with 200 g of sugar. The second option: cream with condensed milk - combine one can of condensed milk with a pack of butter (250 g).
• Cream each cake and collect the cake.
• Decorate it and refrigerate it overnight.
Curd cake in a pan - very tasty
• First, make a cream. Grind the egg with sugar (a glass).
• Add flour (3 tablespoons), vanillin and mix thoroughly.
• Pour in milk (500 ml) and put the mass on low heat to thicken. Do not forget to stir.
• After thickening the cream, remove it from the stove and cool.
• Put pieces of soft butter (200 g) into the cooled mass and beat.
• Cooking the dough. To make a delicious cake in a pan, the recipe must be strictly maintained. Cottage cheese (200 g) is combined with one egg and sugar (a glass), vanilla and a teaspoon of soda (quenched).
• Gradually add flour (300 g) and knead a thick, but not too cool curd dough.
• We divide the dough into parts (7-9 cakes) and roll it thinly on the table.
• In a hot pan, bake each cake from two sides, piercing with a fork so that it does not swell.
• After the cakes have cooled, grease them with cream (if the edges of the cakes are not even, you can trim them).
• Cooking chocolate icing. We mix cocoa powder, sugar and sour cream (or milk) and put on a fire to cook. Stir constantly and cook for a couple of minutes. When the icing has cooled, put a piece of butter in it (this is necessary to make the icing glisten) and pour the curd cake on it.
• Sprinkle the cake with nuts, candied fruits or grated waffles.
For a curd cake, boiled condensed milk may well be suitable as a cream.
You can experiment and come up with your own cake in a pan, which other housewives would like a quick recipe.
