Step 1
Recipe 1. Birthday cake.
Sift flour together with soda, chop nuts, melt honey and cool. Beat the eggs a little to get a homogeneous mass. Combine all components, add sugar and knead the dough. Then divide it into 4 parts, form cakes. Pierce each cake in several places with a fork. Bake the cakes in the oven at 180-200 degrees. Make sure they do not dry out. Grind 100 g of nuts and mix with jam. To prepare the cream, rub butter with powdered sugar, add lemon juice, 200 g of ground nuts, sour cream and beat until a fluffy white consistency. Sprinkle three ready-made cakes with sweet coffee, and crumble the fourth. Put jam with nuts on the first cake. Spread a layer of cream between the second and third layers. On top of the cake, also grease with cream and sprinkle with crumbs. You can decorate the cake as you like. For decoration, you can use a variety of fruits, colorful coconut and nuts. It all depends on your imagination.
Step 2
Recipe 2. Napoleon cake. Preparation of cakes: To prepare the first dough, mix butter with flour, knead it and divide into eight parts. Form squares out of them. To prepare the second type of dough, grind the egg with salt or beat with a mixer. Add sour cream, vinegar and flour. Knead the dough, and also divide it into eight parts. From each part of the second dough, form squares, and they should be twice as large as the squares from the first dough. On the square from the second dough, put a piece from the first, fold the edges and pinch in the form envelope. Roll the resulting layer about 15x20 cm in size, and the thickness should not exceed 1 cm. Fold the resulting piece three times in length, and then three times in width, and again roll it into a layer of the same size. Repeat the entire folding and unrolling procedure two more times. This is how the preparation for one cake is made. Since you have 8 pieces of each dough, repeat the procedure seven more times to get 8 layers. Roll each piece thinly and bake on a baking sheet, after piercing the dough in several places with a fork. The temperature in the oven should be about 210 degrees. Preparation of the cream: Beat eggs with sugar until a smooth fluffy mass is obtained. Fry the flour until yellowish, cool and add the egg mass to it. Stir well so that there are no lumps. Boil the milk and pour in a thin stream into the egg-flour mixture. Then put on a small flame and, stirring continuously, cook until the cream thickens. Then cool it down to the temperature of fresh milk. Whisk the butter into a fluffy mass in a way convenient for you. Add cream, vanillin and liqueur to it, mix everything well so that you get a homogeneous mass. Dressing and decorating the cake: Trim the finished cakes with a sharp knife on all sides. Leave seven, and crumble one. Cover each cake with cream, and cover the top with a tray or cutting board and put a small weight on top for 15 minutes. Then remove the weight, generously grease the cake on top and sides with butter and sprinkle with crumbs. You can also rub the chocolate and sprinkle it on the cake. Or leave a little cream and use a pastry syringe to decorate it with flowers. The cake is ready.
