Lucky Cakes - Delicious Ingredients
As with any confectionery product, the entire list of ingredients comes down to two large parts - a list of products for cakes and cream. So, in order to get the special cakes that distinguish the Snickers cake, the recipe requires you to prepare the following ingredients:
- one culinary glass of flour, it is faceted, or for those who prefer precise measures - 200 grams;
- one culinary glass of sugar, unlike flour, is 175 grams;
- eggs - some confectioners suggest using 6 pieces, others only 4, but most insist on the classic "middle", namely 5;
- chocolate - depending on how rich the taste is preferred by the cook, it is suggested to use from 70 to 100 grams, you can replace it with cocoa powder - a “fork” from 3 to 6 tablespoons is also offered;
- sour cream - 1 cup, can be replaced with milk, but use 2 cups already;
- 5 grams of baking powder (or 2 teaspoons), can be replaced with soda in the volume of a teaspoon ;
- vanilla to taste.
The names of the cakes are sometimes closely related to their cream. Snickers is no exception in this regard. Moreover, like a chocolate bar, this sweet temptation has three different impregnations. So, for the first cream you will need very fat cream (the percentage should not be lower than 30) in the amount of 400 milliliters and sugar - only two tablespoons.
The second cream includes a can of condensed milk, butter, pre-softened, in the amount of one hundred grams and the same amount of ground peanuts, previously roasted. The third cream can only conditionally be called such. Strictly speaking, this is chocolate icing, which will require one hundred grams of chocolate and milk (two tablespoons).
Snickers cake: recipe
The first step is to bake cakes. For this, the yolks separated from the proteins are whipped with sugar and vanilla. Then chocolate is dissolved in warm milk. This is best done in a water bath, as the melting point of this sweet is only 36 degrees. For those who prefer to use cocoa, the instructions are the same: the powder should form a uniform mass with milk. After this happens, the sugar-egg mixture is added to the chocolate milk. The deposited proteins should be whipped into a foam, and then combined with flour and baking powder, later add the milk-egg mixture.
There are several options for baking cakes. According to the first, a gas oven is heated to 180 degrees (electric - up to 200). The entire volume of the dough is poured into the form, it goes to the oven for twenty-five minutes. The second option offers the same procedure, only the entire volume of the test is divided into two parts and baked in two forms. The third option involves the use of a multicooker. To do this, pour the whole mass into the bowl and set the timer for 40 minutes in the “baking” mode, checking the readiness with a wooden stack.
After the cake is baked, it should be cooled, previously cut into two parts. If the second baking option was used, then it is not necessary to separate the cakes. Creams should be prepared at this time.
The names of the cakes reveal their "essence." Snickers follows the indicated rule and repeats the filling of the sweet bar. The cream is combined with sugar and laid out on the first cooled cake. Then he goes cold for fifteen minutes. While the cream hardens, a second cream is prepared. To do this, condensed milk is whipped with butter and combined with peanuts.
Once the cream has hardened, the entire mass of the second cream should be laid out on the first cake. The resulting “sandwich” is covered with a second cake and glazed. To make it, melt chocolate in milk in the same way as for cakes.
Cake, the delicious parts of which will conquer any sweet tooth, requires special clothing. This cake can be masticated or strewn with nuts. The main thing is that the decoration of the sweet masterpiece has a fantasy and a sense of proportion.
Snickers cake, the recipe of which was described above, will be an ideal gift for the holiday - both for children and adults.
