We are used to the fact that it has recently become fashionable to cook mastic cakes. But not every housewife has the skills to work with her. Therefore, consider a simpler recipe that is in no way inferior to newfangled. You can cook it for the holidays for your little sweet tooth and not be afraid that someone will not like it.
Cake recipe
In order to bake a cake in the shape of the sun, we take a round shape. We bake cakes, which in diameter will be no more than 25 cm. For their preparation, we need 100 grams of butter, which must first be cooked before it melts. We cover them with the form. Next, pour half a liter of kefir into a bowl. Pour one and a half glasses of sifted flour and the same amount of sugar here. We will need vanillin and soda in equal proportions - one and a half teaspoons. If desired, add a teaspoon of poppy seeds.
All ingredients must be mixed well with a whisk or mixer. Pour the finished mass into the mold. The oven must be heated to 180 degrees. After that we send the form for forty minutes into it. In order to make sure that the cake is ready, it must be pierced with a match or a wooden stick. If the stick is wet, then the cake can be left in the oven for a few more minutes. To assemble the cake "Sun" we need a cooled cake. Therefore, it is best to bake it in advance.
Cooking cream for the cake "Sun"
In a deep bowl, spread 400 grams of butter. Following the oil, we send one can of liquid condensed milk and 200 g of soft cottage cheese. Add vanillin to taste. Whip it with a mixer, you can manually, but then it will take a lot of time. Beat cream is necessary until it turns into a uniform dense mass.
In addition to cream for greasing cakes, impregnation is required. In its quality, you can use one glass of milk or water diluted with lemon juice. Also, 400 grams of jam is good for impregnation. It is advisable to use lingonberry, as it is not very sweet and will add some sourness to the taste. Plus, in advance it is necessary to dry 200 g of walnuts and chop.
Cake assembly
Carefully remove the cooled cake from the mold using a spatula. To do this, first pry it from the walls, and then disconnect it from the mold. Cut the cake into three identical parts with a knife and thread. With a knife, make two cuts around the entire circumference, after which we stretch the thread from one edge to the other. Next, lay the cakes on a tray. We put down the one that we will demonstrate to the guests. Now pour the cake with the impregnation, spread part of the cream on top and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cream with walnuts.
Pour the second cake with impregnation, spread the cream in the same way as on the previous one. Instead of walnuts, put jam on the second workpiece. Soak the last cake before putting jam on it, as this will be the bottom. Using the second tray, turn the cake over.
The stage of decorating the cake "Sun"
Grease the top with cream. The simplest decoration option is to decorate it with waves. The waves are made with the help of an ordinary spoon, which we dunk in the cream. On the cake, we move smoothly from the center to the end of the cake. If desired, you can put berries of lingonberries or any other fruits. In extreme cases, you can sprinkle with nuts. You can also lay out slices of lemon or orange in a circle.
Above you can see in the photo the cake "Sun", decorated with cream. This recipe is good in that every housewife can experiment with cream and impregnation, depending on the preferences of all family members.
