You can buy a ready-made cake baked by professionals, or you can make it yourself. There are many pastry shops and private companies that will deliver any cake to their home at any time. Moreover, culinary experts do not hide recipes for the preparation of their branded confectionery. For example, the cake "North", which is considered the main company dessert from the company "North", the housewives can bake themselves, and then compare the result with the product of professionals.
We bake a cake "North"
The recipe is not easy. In the cake there are not only biscuit cakes, but also sand. The same is with creams: immediately you need to cook custard and chocolate.
For a biscuit base you need: about one and a half glasses of flour, 5 or 6 eggs, about one and a half glasses of sugar (preferably fine).
For shortcakes you need: a couple of glasses of flour and more than half a glass of sugar, about three hundred grams of butter, three egg yolks, a couple of teaspoons of sour cream.
For custard you will need: about two hundred grams of butter, one egg, a glass of sugar, one and a half glasses of milk, vanilla and a teaspoon of starch and flour.
To make a chocolate cream you will need: about two hundred grams of chocolate, half a kilogram of butter, four eggs, vanilla, half a glass of milk.
Cooking cake "North"
First you need to drive a biscuit dough from eggs, sugar and flour. In the preheated oven, bake the cakes until golden brown and cool. Then you need to divide the finished biscuit into two cakes.
Next you need to bake the sand base. She is preparing like this. Mix flour and sugar well. Chop the butter finely, put in flour and mix again. It should be oily grains. Beat the yolks, add sour cream to them. Knead the dough and put it in a cool place for 10-15 minutes. Then bake cakes, the form should be the same as the baked cake. When the crust becomes golden, carefully remove and allow to cool.
Cooking cream and cake decorating
In its composition, this confectionery product resembles a Marrakesh cake. The “North” is somewhat more saturated, probably because it is not only prepared from different types of cakes, but also soaked in different creams.
Custard is prepared in the usual way. Each mistress has her own proven option. It is only necessary to mix all the products and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and at the end add oil and beat thoroughly. We prepare chocolate cream a little differently. The butter needs to be slightly softened and grated thoroughly with sugar. During grinding, add over the egg and pour warm milk in small portions. Next, add vanilla and chocolate, which must first be softened. Mix everything until smooth and set to cool.
On a cake plate or other flat plate, put sponge cake and spread it with custard. Next is the sand cake and it is smeared with chocolate cream. Then the layers are repeated. On the sides of the cake "North" is covered with chocolate cream. That sand cake, which was the most ruddy, must be broken into small crumbs. This will be an ornament, only sprinkle with strips. It remains only to cool it for about 5 hours - and then you can serve it to the table.

Mix the jam with soda and refrigerate for 40 minutes. Next, mix all of the listed products and add the jam with soda. Knead the dough, as for fritters. Put it in a mold and bake. Divide into two cakes, and coat them with custard. Garnish with chocolate and refrigerate for several hours.
