Both adults and children love delicious homemade cakes. But many recipes for cakes, pies, cookies, require significant labor. And I really want to cook goodies for tea without spending half a day in the kitchen.
Charlotte - fast and tasty
A sweet apple pie - charlotte - is prepared in a hurry. For the test, you will need:
- egg (3 pcs.);
- flour (1 glass);
- sugar (1 glass);
- baking powder (1/2 sachet);
- sour cream (2 tablespoons).
Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer. To make the cake more fluffy, beat the whites separately with sugar, and then mix with the yolks. Add baking powder to the flour and carefully, trying not to crush the protein foam, pour it into the container. Mix with a mixer at the lowest speed. Cut apples (4-5 pieces) and add them to the dough. Mix and pour into a mold. Charlotte is prepared for 30-40 minutes at 180 ° C. Do not open the oven door while the cake is baking, otherwise the proteins will settle and it will turn out flat.
Charlotte can be sprinkled with cinnamon on top, then the cake will be more flavorful. Instead of apples, you can put cherries, chopped pears, plums, apricots or peaches in the dough.
Sweet cookies - a simple dish for young chefs
Even children can make these delicious cookies. Its recipe is simple. You will need:
- shortbread cookies ("Jubilee" or any other - 1 pack);
- butter (2 tablespoons);
- jam or dense jam (1/2 cup).
Wrap the cookies in paper or thick food wrap and finely chop them, rolling them with a rolling pin. Add soft butter to the resulting crumbs and mix. Form thick oval cookies with a dimple on top. Put jam or jam into it with a spoon. Put in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 10 minutes. The cookie is ready.
Making shortbread dough from cookies saves a lot of time and effort. And the taste of the dishes does not suffer from this.
You can make a delicious cake from the same shortcrust pastry. The cake filling is as follows:
- condensed milk (1 can);
- yolks (3 pcs.);
- berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries. You can also use fruits according to the season).
Use the leftover proteins to make a meringue that can be used to decorate the cake. At maximum speed, beat the proteins with sugar with a mixer and put them in the oven for 5 minutes. You can bake the meringue with the cake.
A culinary delight is prepared as follows: shortbread dough is laid out in a mold and placed in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 5 minutes. Then the filling is poured into the mold, the cake is placed in the oven for another 5 minutes. When the yolks have set and the filling has hardened, put the berries or fruits on top and leave for another 5 minutes. The most delicious cake is ready.
