When we go to the country, we always take with us the best kitchen assistant in the world - a multicooker. After all, with its acquisition, I now have much more opportunities to cook without standing next to the stove. Today we will have something sweet... We are preparing a quick country cake from available ingredients.

The base for our cake will also be proven, let’s prepare it. This sponge cake always turns out beautiful, tall and very porous, which is very important for getting a sufficiently soaked cake.

Required:

for biscuit:

  • Eggs - 5 pcs.
  • Flour - 1 cup
  • Sugar - 200 gr.
  • Starch - 1 tbsp.
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp.
  • Vanillin - 1 gr.

for filling and cream:

  • Apple - 1-2 pcs.
  • Condensed milk - 500-600 gr.
  • Butter - 1 pack.
  • Chocolate - for cake decoration

How to make a delicious cake in a hurry:

First of all, we need to prepare the biscuit. To obtain a proper, tall sponge cake, you need to beat the whites and yolks separately. Therefore, we will need two large, deep mixing bowls.

Separate the yolks from the whites and start creating. Using a mixer, first beat the whites with half the sugar until stiff peaks form. Then continue to beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until the mass increases 2-3 times. Separately, sift flour with vanillin, baking powder and starch into a plate.

Combine the whipped yolks with the whites, gradually introducing them in small portions, kneading by hand with a spoon in one direction. The mass should remain fluffy. When the whites and yolks have combined, we also begin to gradually introduce the flour mixture. Place the resulting fluffy biscuit dough into a multicooker bowl, previously greased with butter or vegetable oil. Set the baking time to 1 hour 10 minutes on the BAKING program. I have a 700 W multicooker, so it takes me a little longer than with more powerful multicookers. And such beauty awaits us after the end of the program.

The biscuit turns out very tall. Today I simply decided to soak it with liquid cream made from condensed milk and softened butter, which I simply combined and beat with a mixer. Cut the cooled sponge cake into cake layers - I got 4 cake layers.

Soak each cake well with liquid cream and begin assembling the quick cake.

Between the cakes I wanted to place an apple, which I had previously peeled and thinly sliced.

We lay all the cakes in this way and cover with the top cake.

If you have some cream left, you can pour it over the top of the cake. I didn't have any extra cream, so I just decorated the top of the country cake with melted chocolate. It turned out quite beautiful and tasty. But this is how beautiful and tender it turned out when cut.

The huge variety of ready-made cakes offered by confectioners is pleasing to the eye. However, the price of such delicacies is often confusing, and the quality does not always correspond to their appearance. The best way out is to make the cake yourself, at home. If you do the math, it turns out that preparing it will cost less than buying it, and besides, you will be confident in its freshness.

It is a misconception that making any cake takes a lot of time and effort. A quick cake is what you need for a Sunday tea party at home or a family celebration.

Also leave a third of the crushed cookies for decoration, and add the remaining part along with ground walnuts to the mixture with butter and condensed milk and stir to obtain a homogeneous mass.

Take a dish with a slightly larger diameter than the future cake and place the first layer of marshmallow halves tightly together. Grease a layer with cream, and place another one on top. Spread the cream again and you can decorate. In addition to cookie crumbs and walnuts, any confectionery decorations can be used.

If you need a large cake, count its components proportionally.

The dough can be in the form of plates, then there is no need to roll it out. If it is on a roll, roll it out into a layer of about 5 mm. Cut it into 2-3 cm squares. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and spread out the chopped dough (the pieces should not touch). In an oven preheated to 200°, bake the dough until browned. Cool the resulting shortcakes slightly. Leave a few squares for decorating the cake, and pour the rest into a bowl or pan. Crumble them so that some break into small pieces, and some remain intact.

Next, make the cream. Break the eggs into a blender bowl, add condensed milk, sugar and flour and pour in the milk. Whip the cream and place it in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add butter to the hot mixture and mix well. If you want a more airy cream, beat with a mixer.

While the cream is still hot, pour it over the mashed shortcakes. Everything is mixed very thoroughly and placed in a mold pre-wrapped in foil. When laying out the cake mixture, press it down with a spoon so that there are no voids left in it. Let the mixture cool and place it in the refrigerator. While the cake is cooling, make a decoration using crumbled remaining baked dough pieces. The final touch is to remove the cake from the mold and sprinkle it with puff crumbs.

The recipe is from grandma's bins, simple and very tasty. Carrots give the cake an unusual taste and color.

You will need:

  • 2 cups grated carrots;
  • 200 g margarine;
  • 1 cup sugar (or less, to taste);
  • 2 eggs;
  • 1 teaspoon of soda;
  • flour - how much dough will take (depends on the juiciness of the carrots).

Grind the yolks with sugar, melt the margarine, mix everything. Beat the whites until foamy and carefully fold into the mixture. Knead the dough so that it is not very dense and rolls out easily. Divide it into 3-4 parts. Bake the cakes in the oven at a temperature of 180-200°. For impregnation, use sour cream or any jam.

For sour cream you need 2 cups of full-fat sour cream and sugar to taste - about a cup. The result is a tender, not cloying cake.

"Zebra" cake

The beauty of this recipe is that the cake does not need to be soaked; it can be eaten immediately after cooking.

You will need for the test:

  • 200 g butter or baking margarine;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 1 glass of sour cream;
  • 1-1.5 cups sugar (to taste);
  • 1 teaspoon of soda;
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa;
  • 3 cups flour.

Prepare the dough: beat eggs with 1 cup sugar, mix melted butter or margarine with 1 cup sour cream. Combine everything together and add soda, quenching it with vinegar. Knead the dough and divide it into 2 parts, put cocoa in one part - 2 tablespoons. Grease the dough pan with butter or margarine and sprinkle with semolina. Place a tablespoon of dough into the middle of the pan, alternating between white and chocolate dough. Bake in the oven at 180° for half an hour. You can check the readiness of the cake with a match or toothpick.

For the glaze:

  • 5 tablespoons of sour cream;
  • 3 tablespoons butter;
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa;
  • 5 tablespoons of sugar;
  • 1 chocolate bar.

Mix everything except chocolate and place in a saucepan. As the mixture heats up, add the broken chocolate. Let it boil and remove from heat. Cool slightly and pour glaze over the baked cake. When the glaze hardens (and it hardens quickly), the cake is ready to eat. All preparation at home takes a little over an hour.

Cake in a frying pan

Here's what you'll need for it:

  • 3 eggs;
  • 1 teaspoon of soda;
  • 450 g flour;
  • 0.5 liters of milk;
  • 1 cup of sugar;
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar;
  • 1 stick of butter;
  • 1 cup walnut kernels.

Start with cream, it takes longer to cook than shortcakes! Pour milk into a container, break 2 eggs into it, put 2 tablespoons of flour, add one glass of regular sugar and a bag of vanilla, beat the mixture and cook over low heat, stirring until it thickens. Remove the saucepan from the stove, stir the butter into the cream so that it is evenly distributed, and cover with a lid and a towel. When frosting the cakes, the cream should be almost hot.

Now you can do the cakes. Mix condensed milk with 1 egg, add slaked soda and begin to gradually mix in the flour. When the dough becomes too stiff to handle, add the remaining flour with your hands and divide it into 8 balls. Roll each ball into a cake and make several punctures on them with a fork. In a frying pan over medium heat, the cake is baked for 1 minute, then turned over and also baked on the other side.

If you don’t have an oven at home, a good solution would be to whip up a cake in a frying pan. It turns out that such recipes exist.

Similarly, you need to bake all 8 cakes. Cut them to the size of the dish that will hold the cake. Collect and crumble the scraps - they will be used to sprinkle the cake. Grease the cakes with hot cream and form the cake. Its sides also need to be coated well so that the sprinkles stick to it. Mix crumbs from the cakes and chopped walnuts and decorate the almost finished delicacy. In an hour, the most delicate cake will be ready.

Light, tender, delicious cakes, whipped up at home and absolutely uncomplicated recipes are another reason to pamper your family for an occasion or just because you want to. Cook easily and get ready for compliments! Enjoy your tea!
