Instructions
Step 1
Chocolate cake
A cupcake baked with the addition of starch will never turn out to be heavy and soggy. To make the taste even more intense, coat the product with natural chocolate - milk, dark or white.
Step 2
Place the butter in a bowl and melt. Add sugar, vanillin, milk and cocoa powder. Heat the mixture on the stove, stirring continuously, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove the bowl from the stove and let the chocolate mixture cool. Beat eggs with salt, mix sifted flour with starch and soda. Combine flour and egg mixture with chocolate, mix thoroughly. Grease a refractory mold with butter and pour the dough into it. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 200 ° C. Bake the product until tender, cool slightly in a mold and place on a board.
Step 3
Prepare the chocolate frosting. Break the dark chocolate without additives into pieces and place in a saucepan. Add the cream and heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the icing is smooth. Pour a cupcake over it, leveling the surface with a teaspoon or knife. Let the frosting set and cut the cake into slices.
Step 4
Cottage cheese casserole
This casserole turns out to be very tender and airy. Instead of lemon juice, you can use orange juice, and replace raisins with dried apricots or prunes. Beat eggs with sugar until white, add sour cream. Sift flour and mix with starch. Add it in portions to the egg mixture. Squeeze lemon juice, rinse raisins. Add the raisins and half a serving of lemon juice to the dough and mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Prepare the filling. Mash soft cottage cheese with sour cream, add the remaining lemon juice, eggs and sugar. Whisk everything until smooth. Put the dough in a greased form, place the curd filling on top. Bake the product in an oven preheated to 200 ° C until golden brown. Serve the casserole warm.
Step 6
Quick cake
This cake is baked in just half an hour. The finished product can be decorated with icing, custard or butter cream. But even without additives, the product is very tasty. In a deep bowl, combine the condensed milk with the eggs. Pour in starch in portions and stir the mixture until smooth. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream. Grease a round shape with butter and pour the dough into it. Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C. Check readiness with a wooden splinter. If, when sticking into the cake, no traces of dough remain on it, the cake is ready. Remove carefully from the mold and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
