Cake- a delicious confectionery product, the basis of which is rich cakes, connected with cream or other sweet varieties of filling. They come in various shapes and sizes. In the classic version, the shape of such a dessert is either round or square. The size of the cakes, as a rule, is from twenty to thirty-five centimeters. A mandatory attribute of the cake is the original design, which can be done using various sweet products.

Such a dessert as a cake is prepared in almost all countries of the world. At the same time, traditional recipes are often modified. Adapting to new realities, they can change dramatically! Thanks to this, the variety of culinary recipes for making cakes is growing every day and even every hour.

Depending on the type of cakes, all cakes are divided into the following main types:

biscuit;
waffle;
sand;
cottage cheese;
puff pastry cakes.

Each of these types of cakes can be prepared at home. Even the person who has never worked with dough and never baked it can make them with their own hands. Beginners in the confectionery business only need to carefully study the recommendations of the recipe for preparing this or that cake - and strictly follow them! In addition, you can stock up on ready-made cakes or buy frozen dough. This will greatly simplify the task of a novice confectioner.

The preparation of this or that cream at home should also not cause difficulties. Whether it is protein, custard, butter, sour cream, chocolate or any other, it is important to act strictly in accordance with the recipe. Changing the proportions of products and non-compliance with the features of the technological process are the main reasons why the cream for the cake may not work.

Such elements of cakes as jelly, fondant, sugar mastic, soufflé and some others make the cooking procedure more complicated. However, this does not mean at all that such delicious ingredients will become an obstacle in preparing your favorite dessert at home. By no means! All these elements can also be prepared by hand. The main thing is to strictly adhere to the prescribed cooking technology.

As for the preparation of homemade cakes in general, the following recommendations should be followed:

products for making a cake must be fresh;
in order to make the cake layers more tender and airy, the flour for their preparation must be sifted;
if necessary, food coloring for cakes or cream can be replaced with the juice of some berries and vegetables (this will turn out even more useful);
when adding nuts to the cake, it is best to roast them first, because thanks to such manipulation, the nuts better reveal their aroma and taste;
cream and egg whites will be much easier to whip if they are pre-cooled in the refrigerator;
before covering the cake with mastic, it must first be leveled with oil cream (in this case, the cream between the cakes can be absolutely anything), and the mastic itself should not be rolled out too thin, since in this case it will only emphasize the existing irregularities;
in addition to mastic, a cake crushed into crumbs, as well as fresh fruits and berries, are excellent for decorating a cake.

No matter how difficult the cake you decide to cook with your own hands, the main thing is to follow the recommendations of the corresponding recipe - then a delicious result will not keep you waiting!

Homemade Birthday Cake Recipes

There are many options for how to cook a delicious and tender treat for a children's holiday. Many housewives believe that colorful mastic is indispensable here. And indeed, using this confectionery material, you can get a rather original cake for a girl or a boy. But, unfortunately, not all housewives know how to cook such a product. In this regard, we suggest you make a simple, but very tasty and delicate biscuit cake, which does not require a lot of time and many components.

So, to prepare a dessert, we need the following products:

Making biscuit dough

Children's cakes should be not only very beautiful, but also tasty and healthy. Before proceeding with the formation of such a dessert, you should knead the biscuit dough. To do this, the proteins and yolks are laid out in different bowls, and then 125 g of granulated sugar are added to them. The yolks are thoroughly kneaded with a spoon, and the whites are strongly beaten with a blender (until very persistent peaks). After that, both products are combined and thoroughly mixed.

By adding slaked soda and snow-white flour to the lush and airy mass, a viscous but thin dough is obtained.

Bake the cake in the oven

To prepare unusual children's cakes, you need to properly shape them. To do this, you need to bake a biscuit cake.

Having lubricated a deep form with oil, an airy and tender dough is laid out in it. After that, the base is placed in a preheated oven and baked for 50-58 minutes.

As soon as the biscuit becomes rosy and fluffy, it is taken out and laid out on a cake stand. After waiting for the product to cool completely, it is cut into two cakes. The one that turned out to be on top is randomly broken by hands, and the bottom biscuit is left in its entirety.

Making sour cream

Recipes for homemade cakes may include the use of different creams. For a children's holiday, we decided to use sour cream. To prepare it, edible gelatin is poured with water and left aside for 20 minutes. Over time, it heats up and cools down a bit.

As for thick and fatty sour cream, it is completely laid out in a blender bowl and whipped at the highest speed. Gradually add sugar to it. After that, ¼ of the cream is set aside, and gelatin is added to the rest and beat well.

Forming and decoration process

A delicious birthday cake is formed quite simply. To begin with, a whole biscuit is smeared with cream without gelatin. After that, pieces of cake are placed on it, which are first dipped in another sweet milk mass.

As soon as you get a high cake in the form of a slide, it should be doused with the remnants of the cream and immediately put into the refrigerator.

After keeping the dessert in the cold for about 10 minutes, it is poured over with chocolate icing (a thin stream). To prepare it, put slices of milk chocolate in a bowl and add a little milk.

Slowly heating the components, wait until a homogeneous chocolate mass is formed in the dishes. Use it for its intended purpose after a slight cooling.

Serving a cake for a children's party

A delicious birthday cake is served to the table only after a long exposure in the refrigerator. Such processing will allow the biscuit to absorb the sour cream, become softer and more tender.

Homemade dessert should be served with a cup of tea for a children's holiday.
