Sponge cake is a favorite treat for children and adults. In addition, it will become a real highlight of any festive feast. And making it at home is quite simple, given some of the subtleties.
It is necessary
-
- 4 eggs
- 120 grams of flour
- 120 grams of sugar
- 380 grams of condensed milk (1 can)
- 200 grams of butter
- 100 grams of peanuts
Instructions
Step 1
Separate the yolks from the whites. Then add 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the yolks and beat thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the mass acquires a whitish hue. Whisk the whites as well. As soon as the protein mass begins to increase in volume, add 3 tablespoons of sugar. The result should be a thick, dense foam. Then stir in the yolks to the whites. This must be done very carefully so that the dough does not lose its airiness. Then add flour and stir gently as well.
Step 2
Pour the biscuit dough into a baking dish, place in a preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 degrees. During baking, try not to open the oven door, otherwise the biscuit may not rise.
Step 3
Once your sponge cake is done, turn off the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate normally. After that, you can start cutting into cakes. This is a rather complicated procedure that requires caution. For convenience, you can use a special string or a sharp thin knife.
Step 4
For the cream, beat the butter, gradually adding the condensed milk. To make the butter easier to whisk, keep it at room temperature. You should have a dense air mass.
Step 5
Place the first crust in a cake tin and brush over the cream. Place the second cake on top and grease as well. Repeat the same with the third cake. Be sure to brush the sides of the cake with the remaining cream.
Step 6
The next stage is decoration. This recipe uses confectionery sprinkles, fruits, berries, or any other nuts. Chop the peanuts and then sprinkle the top and sides of the cake with nut crumbs. Now your culinary masterpiece is almost ready, it remains to let it soak a little (about an hour) at room temperature.
