In our article we want to talk about how to cook a wonderful cake "Giraffe". It is also known as the “Cow Burenka”. The cake is significantly different from other desserts, striking in its lightness and tenderness. There are several recipes for making such a dessert.
Marshmallow cake: ingredients
This recipe is prepared on the basis of marshmallows - a sweet confectionery.
Ingredients for Cake:
- Fat cream (at least 35%) - ¾ cup.
- Milk - ¾ cup.
- ½ pack of oil.

Cooking Marshmallow Cake
To prepare the cake "Giraffe", you need to grind all the cookies with a blender and add ghee. Then mix the whole mass until smooth. We need a cake mold. It is best to use a detachable, since it will be much easier to extract baked goods from it. The mold must be lubricated with oil, and then put our mass into it, forming the sides. The dough must be well compacted. Next, the mold is sent to the oven for ten minutes. Korzh should be well browned.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan you can mix cream with milk and heat the mixture, but you do not need to bring it to a boil. After removing from the heat, add crushed chocolate and stir the mass until the chocolate is completely dissolved.
Next, beat the eggs in a separate bowl, and then add them to the chocolate. Now all this needs to be beaten with a mixer well to get a homogeneous chocolate mass. Once it is ready, pour it onto the cake and again send the form into the oven for twenty minutes. The mass should thicken.
Next, lay out our mashmellou (chewing marshmallow) on the finished cake, after cutting it into equal halves. Pieces should be laid out in a circle. Here is the chocolate cake "Giraffe" is almost ready. It remains only to bake it for three minutes under the grill (temperature 180 degrees). Our task is to get a beautiful picture. Marshmallows should only lightly brown.
In its finished form, the cake "Giraffe" is fully consistent with its name. It has a beautiful spotted surface.

Cooking Curd Cake
This recipe for the cake "Giraffe" is completely simple, so it is suitable even for inexperienced chefs.
So, let's start making the dough. To do this, soften the butter with milled sugar and then introduce the egg and mix. Then add cocoa, baking powder, flour and knead the dough. We will form it into a ball, from which we will separate the fourth part and remove it to the side. Next, we need a cake mold, put the remaining dough into it, straighten it along the bottom with our hands and form fairly high sides (five centimeters). Send the dough with the form for half an hour to the refrigerator.
In the meantime, we ourselves will be preparing the filling. In a deep dish we put sugar, sour cream, cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, starch. Beat all the ingredients well with a mixer, resulting in a homogeneous mass. This completes the preparation of the filling. Then we pour it into the form with the dough. We remind you that we still have a piece of chocolate dough. We take it out of the refrigerator and divide it into small pieces. And then we begin to decorate our cake. Thin strips can be made from part of the dough to decorate the baking in diameter. And the remaining pieces are rolled into flat cakes and spread them on the surface of the cake.
We send the form with the dough for an hour to bake in the oven. The finished cake needs to be cooled.
Giraffe cake in a slow cooker: ingredients
"Giraffe" is equally good both cooked in the oven and in the slow cooker. Each hostess can choose for herself a more convenient option.
Ingredients:
- Sugar - 320 grams.
- Three eggs.
- Flour - 2.5 cups.
- Pack of butter.
- Baking powder.
- Cottage cheese - 320 grams.
- Starch - a few tablespoons.
- Cocoa - three tablespoons.
- Sour cream - 200 grams.
- Vanilla.
Giraffe in a slow cooker
Cooking a Giraffe cake is generally not a big deal, and even more so in a slow cooker. First, chop the butter with sugar. Next, beat one egg, adding soda and cocoa. Mix everything thoroughly. Gradually introduce the sifted flour, knead the dough, and then send it to the refrigerator for half an hour.
While we have free time, you can do the preparation of the filling. To do this, mix sour cream with sugar, adding cottage cheese (you can pre-wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve if desired). Then add beaten eggs and starch. Mix all ingredients until smooth.
We take out the cooled dough from the refrigerator and put it in the multicooker bowl, which must be greased in advance with oil (or you can use parchment). Be sure to form the sides. A small portion of the dough must be left to decorate the cake. Pour the filling on our cake. We spread small pieces of dough left on it when cooking the cake. That's all the cooking. Now it only remains to set the “Baking” mode on the stove. The cake will be prepared from one hundred to one hundred and twenty minutes. In the finished form, the dessert should be cooled, and then cut into portions and treat guests.
Chocolate joy
Cake with marshmallows “Giraffe” is a real chocolate joy. All lovers of chocolate desserts will certainly enjoy it . In fact, the whole cake consists of only one filling and a small cake. Due to the use of eggs, chocolate thickens and does not flow at the moment you cut the cake. More precisely, it can spread immediately after cooking.
But if you let it cool slightly after baking and insist, then after a couple of hours the filling will already remotely resemble pudding. Such a cake must certainly be tried both hot and cooled. Oddly enough, but it has completely different tastes, as if they were different desserts. In its warm form, you will be struck by the wonderful taste of viscous chocolate, and when cold, the filling resembles, rather, the most tender souffle.
Chocolate lovers are guaranteed to get a lot of pleasure.
Another recipe
Giraffe cake is always liked by children. This is understandable, such an original design will conquer any little sweet tooth. It is good to cook for children's parties. Light delicate dessert will be appreciated by all guests from small to large.
Ingredients:
- Milk - ¾ cup.
- Three eggs.

- Shortbread or biscuit - 0.4-0.5 kg.
- Soft butter - half a pack.
- Milk chocolate - 300 grams.
- Marshmallow - 100 grams.
- Fat cream - ¾ cup.
Grind cookies or biscuit cakes with a blender until fine crumbs are added, add melted butter and mix. Next, grease the form or cover it with parchment. Put the mass on the bottom and ram it. Be sure to remember that it is necessary to form high sides at the cake. Next, send the billet to bake in the oven.
While preparing the cake, make the filling. To do this, mix the cream with milk and heat, but do not let it boil. Throw the chocolate into the hot mixture and stir until it melts.
As soon as our cake is ready, fill it with filling and send it to bake. Then spread the marshmallows on the finished dessert, after which the cake should be baked for a couple of minutes, so that the marshmallows brown and take on the desired shade. Externally, the surface of the cake is really very similar to the skin of a giraffe. This is due to the fact that under the influence of temperature the marshmallow begins to melt and changes its color. In addition, inside it becomes viscous.
