How to make a cake "Dark-skinned"
And now the main thing is to repeat the described actions correctly. Then you will definitely be able to bake this incredibly tender dessert. We read and do what is described in the cooking method.
Dough
The best basis for this baking is a dough that looks like a liquid sour cream product. All dishes must be perfectly dry and clean. Step-by-Step Kneading:
- We break the eggs. Separate the yolks from the proteins. It is convenient to do this using a special device, but with sufficient skill the procedure is excellent for any housewife. The main trick is to prevent any microparticles from getting into the protein from the yolk. Separate the components of the eggs in different bowls.
- Now we need proteins. Beat them quite a bit and pour sugar. Beat a little more and pour in ice water. And now we speed up the mixer and work until we see that the products are turned into shiny white foam.
- Take a bowl with yolks, slightly beat them to destroy the form and mix. Add the yolk mass to the proteins. Very delicately intervene with a spatula or spoon.
- Combine starch, baking powder and flour. Sift the resulting composition directly to the egg mass in a deep bowl. We turn products into a homogeneous mass. Just the one that we need.
Cake baking
Perhaps this is not the easiest point on the implementation of the reality of the cake recipe "Smuglyanka". However, nothing terrible at this point. It’s worth doing it once, and the next time you need to bake a gentle homemade cake, you will be able to create it many times faster and more masterly.
And now we need to use a low pan for baking cakes. Cover it with special paper intended for baking. In fact, this is ordinary parchment tracing paper. The edges of the paper should be larger than the edges of the baking sheet. For them we will take our cake in the future. For security, it is better to grease the parchment with a small amount of lean non-aromatic oil.
Pour the batter onto the surface of the paper and align it (wait until it spreads over the sheet).
We heat the oven to the level of 200 degrees. Having placed the baking sheet with the dough inside, we wait 8-10 minutes. In order not to make a mistake with the moment when it is necessary to remove the base for the cake, we look at its surface. The golden color of the cake is a sign that it can be removed. Check for toothpick readiness. To overcook the base is highly undesirable, it must be flexible.
We take out the cake and form the baking
And now we need a completely clean cloth towel. With it, we will make a roll of the resulting cake.
Walkthrough:
- Step one. Moisten the towel slightly with clean cold water.
- Step Two Having taken out the base for the cake (on the baking sheet), we turn it upside down. Thus, the parchment will be on the surface of the cake. We also wet the paper slightly with water, from these actions it can easily move away from the bottom of the workpiece.
- Step Three We remove it by pulling the free edges.
- Step Four The towel under the billet and the released dough are rolled together, getting a fairly dense roll.
- Step Five Put the resulting construction aside. While this all cools down, it's time to do the cream.
Cream for "Smuglyanka"
The highlight of this dessert in its filling.
Pour gelatin into a deep cup. Pour it with milk at room temperature. We are waiting 15-25 minutes. After this time, the gelatin will swell. As soon as this happened, we proceed to further actions to create a cream.
Pour condensed milk and the whole cream rate into the pan. Mix the ingredients until smooth. We put the dishes with milk ingredients on the stove. At a moderate temperature, we expect the beginning of boiling. Cook the future cream for at least a minute. Constantly mix the composition. You can add your favorite jam or a spoonful of cocoa - optional.
After a specified time, remove the dishes from the stove. Add milk with swollen gelatin. Mix quickly, and do this until the whole gelling product has dispersed in the milk composition. Fully dissolved gelatin is a sign that the mixture can be set aside until it reaches room temperature.
In the cooled composition, spread the cream cheese. Beat the cream for at least three to four minutes using a mixer. If you selflessly wish to give airiness to the cream with a whisk, then you will have to whip a little longer. Put the finished cream in the cold for half an hour.
We form a product
It's time to do the direct assembly of the cake. Sponge cake wrapped in a damp towel, carefully unwrap and release.
Generously coat the inside with a thick layer of cream. Before applying this cream to a biscuit, it is worth it to be thoroughly mixed again.
Now again do the roll. Sent in the cold for thirty minutes. So that the cream placed inside the product is well frozen.
Coat the surface of the cake roll with the remaining custard. Grind the chocolate on a fine grater. The resulting crumbs generously sprinkle the cake on top and from the sides.
As a result, it will turn out, as in the photo, the cake is "Smuglyanka". You can optionally decorate it with nuts, a cream pattern, and fruits. Some housewives pour the finished product with chocolate icing. In general, homemade dessert is decorated as you like.
