After drying, peel the nuts. To do this, simply take a small handful of them and stretch them between your palms. If the skin remains here and there, it's okay.
Step 3
Crush the nuts in a blender or with a rolling pin. The finished peanut mass should not be too coarse, but at the same time not look like flour.
Step 4
Further, in order to prepare a real "Kievsky" cake in accordance with the USSR GOST, mix flour, 200 grams of fine sugar and crushed nuts in a separate bowl. Add the vanillin on the tip of a knife to the mixture and stir again well.
Step 5
Take aged proteins and beat them in a blender according to the rules with 45 grams of sugar. Mix the proteins and dry mass prepared in the fourth step. Do this as carefully as possible. Do not hurry. Otherwise, the whipped egg whites will fall off.
Step 6
Divide the mass into two or three equal parts and place it in molds of the same diameter. Gently smooth the dough.. Bake the cakes in the oven at 135-150 degrees. It should take you about 2 hours to prepare them.
Step 7
While the cakes are baking and cooling, prepare Charlotte cream. It was he who was once used in the preparation of the Kiev cake in accordance with GOST. In order to make such a cream, first boil a syrup from milk and 150 g of sugar. The mixture should boil for about 5 minutes. Stir milk often.
Step 8
Next, beat the egg with the remaining 50 grams of sugar. Pour milk syrup into the resulting sweet mass in a very thin stream. Put everything on low heat and boil the cream until thick. Cool the finished viscous mass.
Step 9
Whisk the softened butter in a blender. While whisking, pour the cooled milk mixture into it in a thin stream.
Step 10
Collect the cake. To do this, simply coat the cakes with cream on top. Decorate the cake to your liking. This is what was once used at the confectionery factories of the USSR, the recipe for the cake "Kievsky" according to GOST. If you did not violate the technology in the cooking process, this cake will turn out to be as airy, tender and tasty as it once was from Soviet pastry chefs.
