Many of us love unusual light desserts. But, unfortunately, not every housewife has enough free time to often prepare complex delicacies for her family. After reading today's article, you will learn how to make a “Cake” cake in several different ways.
Option One: Easy!
It should be noted that this recipe is interesting in that it does not provide for the use of an oven. Making such a dessert is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to pre-purchase all the necessary products. Before you start the process, check if there is in your kitchen:
- 300 grams of cookies.
- Three egg whites.
- 100-150 grams of powdered sugar.
In order for your family to be able to try the light and delicious “House” cake, the photo of which will be presented later, you should supplement the above set with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a small amount of sweets or dried fruits. The latter will be used as decoration.
Process description
At the initial stage, you need to do the preparation of the so-called icing. It is made from pre-sifted powdered sugar and egg whites whipped into a dense foam. After the mass begins to increase in volume, lemon juice is gradually introduced into it and continue to work as a mixer or whisk. As a result, you should get a thick mixture that can hold its shape well. Glycerin is added to insufficiently sticky icing.
After that, you can do the basis of the future dessert. It is made from a fairly dry rectangular cookie. First, the shape of a house with a roof is cut out of it with a sharp knife. Then a whole cookie is laid out on a sheet of food foil laid out on the table, the edges of which are smeared with ice, and a wall with a roof is attached to it. The lateral rectangular blanks are applied after the adhesive mass has solidified slightly. Then they establish a second form with a roof and briefly leave the future dessert so that the icing has time to fasten the cookies well.
At the end of the process, a roof is installed and the house is filled with a filling, which is used as any nuts, berries, fruits or the remains of aising mixed with crushed cookies crumbs. The finished product is covered with whole crackers and left for a short time. After half an hour, the “House” cake is decorated from cookies with sweets or dried fruits and served with tea.
Option Two: soft air
The dessert prepared according to this recipe has a surprisingly delicate taste and airy consistency. As in the previous case, this delicacy will not be cooked. To make a delightfully light cake “House”, the recipe of which will be considered right now, you should pre-audit your refrigerator and, if necessary, buy the missing components. Before you start cooking, make sure that you have at your fingertips:
- 305 grams of shortbread cookies.
- 105 milliliters of pasteurized milk.
- 55 grams of granulated sugar.
- 65 milliliters of low-fat sour cream.
- Half a cottage cheese.
- 35 grams of cocoa.
Cooking technology
In order for you to get a really tasty and delicate “House” cake from cookies and cottage cheese, you should strictly adhere to the recommended ratio of components. In one dish combine low-fat sour cream and sugar. Cottage cheese is sent there and whipped with a blender until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
A foil sheet is placed on the table and four cookies are placed in a row, previously visited in a bowl with warmed milk. Cottage cheese and sour cream are distributed from above and gently leveled with a knife. Another layer of cookies is laid on top and greased with a sweet mixture. So repeat four times.
After that, the remaining curd mass is combined with cocoa and spread on top of cookies. Do this so as to form a triangle. Shortbread cookies in the form of a roof are placed on top, the future “House” cake is wrapped in foil and sent to the refrigerator. After an hour, gently unfold the dessert, pour it with melted chocolate and serve it.
Option Three - with Gelatin
This recipe is interesting in that it involves the use of gelatin. On it you can cook a delicious and light cake from cookies without baking. The “house" will just need to stand in the refrigerator. In order not to interrupt the process in search of missing products, you need to conduct an audit in your kitchen in advance and purchase all the required components. At your disposal should be:
- 715 grams of low-fat cottage cheese.
- 205 milliliters of cream.
- 205 grams of sugar.
- Half a packet of butter.
- 125 grams of shortbread cookies.

Sequencing
In one dish, cottage cheese, granulated sugar, a small amount of cream and vanillin are pre-wiped through a sieve. Everything is thoroughly beaten with a mixer until a homogeneous creamy mass is obtained and set aside for a quarter of an hour.
While the mixture will be infused, you can do gelatin. It is poured with the remaining cream and sent to a water bath. After the crystals are completely dissolved, it is cooled, added to the curd cream and whipped again until a lush consistency is obtained. After that, the dishes with the mixture are covered and put in the refrigerator for a quarter of an hour.
Finely crumbled cookies are combined with pre-softened butter, rubbed well in the palms of your hands and rammed tightly onto the bottom of the parchment-lined form. Cottage cheese cream is spread on top, leveled, covered with cling film and put in the refrigerator. After three hours, dessert can be served at the table.
Option Four: Deliciously Delicious
As in all previous cases, in order to prepare the “House” cake you should go to the nearest supermarket in advance to make the necessary purchases. Your list must include:
- 800 grams of cookies.
- Half a cottage cheese.
- 200 milliliters of milk.
- 30 grams of butter.
As additional components will be used a bar of milk chocolate and 150 grams of hazelnuts.
Cooking algorithm
To make a delicious and light cake “House”, strictly observe the above ratio of products. On a table covered with plastic wrap, lay a layer of cookies three to four in size. Previously, each of them is dipped in warm milk for a couple of seconds.
A layer of cottage cheese is spread on top of the cookies and gently leveled. So repeat two more times. As a result, you should get three layers. Half the available hazelnuts or any other nuts are placed in the middle. After that, with the help of a food film, a house is formed, carefully raising the edges.
A broken chocolate bar is placed in a small saucepan, sent to the stove and melt at minimum heat. In the same dishes add a little butter and milk. The house is poured with the glaze, decorated with nuts and the almost finished dessert is removed in the refrigerator. Two hours later, the cake is transferred to a beautiful dish and served at the table.
If desired, you can make small adjustments to this recipe. So, you can replace the purchased sweet mass with homemade cottage cheese mixed with jam, and hazelnuts with any other nuts.
