A cake made of ready-made crispy waffle cakes significantly saves the time of a hospitable and welcoming hostess. If your friends come unexpectedly, you will always have a few minutes to please them with a simple but original dessert of your own preparation. The filling for waffle cakes can be any, depending on what products you have in the refrigerator at the moment. You can also experiment with ingredients and create your own unique masterpieces.
The easiest wafer cake cake
For a large cake, you will need two packs of cakes at once. Here is the complete list of required ingredients:
- Round waffle cakes -10 pieces.
- A can of boiled condensed milk.
- GOST condensed milk can.
- Butter peasant - 200 grams.
- Sour cream 20% fat - 200 grams.
This cake will be filled with two types of fillings at once, so stock up with two bowls for whipping. The assembly of the tiers themselves must be carried out on a flat plate of large diameter. The main thing is that the bottom layer of the cake is stable on the surface, without slipping. Cakes with condensed milk - this is a win-win dessert option. We begin to prepare the toppings.
Two kinds of fillings
Butter should be pre-melted to room temperature. Combine the ingredient with boiled condensed milk and carefully knead with a fork or whisk.
Tip: the cream will be more tender if boiled condensed milk is cooked at home. Put a tin can in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and then cook over moderate heat from one and a half to three hours. Cooked filling for waffle cakes will be used to impregnate the lower half of the cake. Immediately after mixing the ingredients, you can start laying layers.
Another little tip: to prevent the cake from sliding on the surface of the plate during assembly, apply a little filling in the center of the dish, and then lay the first cake. Thus, your cake will be linked with the dish itself.
As you can guess, the second type of cream will go sour cream and regular condensed milk. The lighter filling has a weightless and lighter structure in contrast to the oil version. To whip the second cream, it is necessary to use clean cutlery, in order to avoid mixing shades.
If you have never before been assembling a cake from ready-made waffle cakes, our cooking tips will come in handy. When laying the layers, pay attention to the consistency of the cream. The bottom five layers will be saturated with thick oil filling. Therefore, smear it with a thin layer, while applying some effort. The upper half of the cakes is held together by a more fluid and lighter filling. It will be better if you do not smear too much the sour cream layer on the surface of the cakes. It is well absorbed, so apply it in a thick layer.
Cake decoration
When the top layer of the cake is smeared with sour cream filling, pay attention to the ends of the dessert. Take a knife with the rest of the cream and treat them with the side surface. If you sprinkle such a cake with waffle crumbs, coconut flakes or grated chocolate, the dessert will become complete. You can eat the cake right away, but it is better if it stands in the refrigerator for two hours and is completely saturated.
Chocolate Nut Filling
As we already said, the filling for waffle cakes can be any. The next cake with chocolate-hazelnut cream will have only five layers of cakes, so it can disappear from the tray for one tea party with a large company. Here is what you need to cook it:
- Wafer cakes - 5 pieces (one package).
- Premium butter - 200 grams.
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
- One glass of sugar.
- 4 tablespoons of honey.
- Crushed walnuts - 1.5 cups.
This filling will need to be cooked a little. Therefore, take oil out of the refrigerator and put it in a saucepan. Send honey, sugar, nuts and cocoa powder there. Mix everything thoroughly, bring to a boil, and then cook over moderate heat for three minutes. Do not forget to stir the composition all the time. When the cream cools a little, soak it with each cake.
You can soak the top, but in this case it would be better if the top cake is left without decoration. And again, small cunning tricks rush to your aid: a cake assembled with warm toppings will be much tastier if it is sent to the refrigerator before serving for a couple of hours.
Fruit filling
For this cake you can use any fruit, the main thing is that you and your guests like them. The complete absence of sugar and condensed milk is in favor of the recipe. The list of ingredients for the cake:
- Wafer cakes - 5 pieces.
- Curd without filler - 200 grams.
- Berries (raspberries or strawberries) - half a glass.
- One banana
- One big peach.
As we already said, the fruit filling for waffle cakes can be any: tangerines, oranges, kiwi, canned pineapples, baked apples and more. Collect the cake as follows. Coat each cake with a curd, and cover the loan with chopped fruit. If you really like sweets, you can add a little sugar to the curd mass. Decorate the top of the cake at your discretion and refrigerate for a couple of hours until the cake is completely saturated.
Liver souffle with waffle cakes
From waffle cakes, you can cook not only a whip cake. Our next recipe will surprise someone. The filling for waffle cakes is not sweet prepared from the liver. This product is ideal for making cold, original snacks. For chicken liver soufflé you will need the following ingredients:
- Liver - 300 grams.
- Waffle cakes - 2 pieces.
- Egg - 2 pieces.
- Fat sour cream - 2 tablespoons.
- 1 cup of milk.
- Salt.
Put the liver in a deep pan and simmer it for 10 minutes, then add sour cream and mix everything thoroughly. Beat eggs with milk separately (like an omelet) and add salt to taste. Grease a round baking dish with oil or cover it with parchment paper. Put the first cake on the bottom, and then the liver stewed in sour cream. Cover with a second cake and fill the mold with the egg mixture. Cover the container with foil and place in a moderately preheated oven for 40 minutes. It is desirable that the baking temperature does not exceed 160 degrees.
Useful cooking tips
The cake is tastier when the filling has a minimal amount of water, syrup, milk or any other liquid.
Honey filling makes the product crispy.
After laying the layers, the dessert can be cut into portioned pieces in the form of geometric shapes, and then sent to the refrigerator.
For the best saturation of the layers for a short time the cake can be placed under oppression. In this case, make sure that the cream does not leak from the sides.
If you use soft waffle cakes for the cake, then butter cream is ideal for them.
Conclusion
We hope that little culinary tricks will help you in mastering the skill. Do not be afraid to experiment, because a cake from ready-made waffle cakes is simply impossible to spoil.
