Easy cake recipes are very useful when there is no time or desire to make a cake or pie. They are not as high in calories as other pastries; they are easy and interesting to decorate.
And the recipe for cake is nowhere to be as relevant as at a children's party. After all, it is more convenient for a child to cope with this small and compact delicacy than with a huge piece of cake.
Cake recipe with lemon cream
Do not be afraid of the presence of acid juice in the recipe. There is enough sugar in the dough to compensate for acidity. And the tenderness of the shortcrust pastry will make the taste balanced. Also, for lovers of sweets, you can give advice to sprinkle powdered sugar on top of finished products or serve with sweet sauce (or just with condensed milk). Before you make a cake, the recipe of which we present here, take care of buying quality lemons. Ideally, they should be fragrant with thin skin, bright, juicy and pitted.
Buy several different lemons in advance and try them. For a base, beat one hundred and fifty grams of butter (
warmed to
room temperature) with one hundred grams of sugar. The mass should turn white. Sift flour (three hundred grams) with salt, add to butter, beat. Knead a
shortbread dough for a long time, it will become tough. Bake the base separately for twenty minutes. Then cool. Prepare a
lemon cream by whipping six pieces of fresh eggs with the juice of four lemons and two tablespoons of zest. Then add two hundred grams of flour and a glass of sugar, mix until smooth, pour over the cooled cake. Bake for thirty five minutes. Then cool and cut into squares.
Walnut Cake Recipe
Chocolate dough is very easy to make. And the aroma from it comes such that leaving at least a little from the first portion is simply impossible. Take, of course, the highest cocoa chocolate. This will make the texture as saturated as possible. This cake recipe allows you to replace walnuts with hazelnuts and even pecans. But the taste, of course, will turn out different. Serve these cakes must be chilled - because of the large amount of chocolate in the dough, they can float and lose shape. The structure of this baking is very similar to a cupcake, only it is less oily and oily, which is fully compensated by the addition of nuts. Melt a hundred grams of chocolate with the same amount of butter using a water bath. Beat three eggs with sugar, mix with a glass of flour, add chocolate and add nuts. Bake for forty minutes, then glaze with chocolate, butter and milk.
Cakes without baking
