Puff pastry cake

To prepare this simple and delicious home cake, we need the following ingredients: non -free -skinned puff pastry, milk, butter, sugar, chicken eggs, wheat flour and vanillin.

First of all, we will prepare custard. In a saucepan with a thick bottom we pour 200 milliliters of milk and bring it to a hot state (do not need to boil).

We break a pair of chicken eggs in a bowl, add 150 grams of sugar, a tablespoon of wheat flour and a pinch of vanillin (can be replaced with a teaspoon of vanilla sugar).

Beat a mixer or whisk to get a homogeneous mass. The complete dissolution of sugar crystals can not be achieved.

Pouring hot milk with a thin stream, we constantly interfere with the egg mixture with a whisk.

The result is a homogeneous liquid base for custard.

We pour it into a pan, put it on a small fire and cook, constantly interfering.

When the cream is ready, you will immediately feel — as soon as the mixture warms up well, it will quickly begin to thicken. That is why it is especially thoroughly interfere with the cream at the bottom of the dishes so that it does not burn or go lumps. The finished custard cream is hot in consistency resembles a condensed milk with sugar.

Immediately add 180 grams of butter. To make it parted faster in a hot custard, take it out of the refrigerator in advance and cut it into small pieces.

Mix until the butter is completely connected to custard.

We cover the cream for the future cake by a log with cling film or a plastic bag into contact, that is, directly to the surface. Due to this, as it cools, the cream will not be covered with crust. Cool it first on the table, after which we transfer it to the refrigerator for an hour.

In the meantime, we roll 450 grams of puff -free dough with a rolling pin not very subtly. How to cook it with your own hands, see this detailed step -by -step recipe. If necessary, sprinkle the surface of the dough with flour so that it does not stick to the table and a rolling pin.

With the help of a knife (it is most convenient to do it with a pizza knife) and the ruler cut the puff pastry with long thin (about 1 centimeter) stripes.

We transfer the blanks to a baking sheet covered with high -quality parchment paper. Do not lubricate anything.

We bake puff sticks in a pre-warmed oven to 220 degrees in the upper-niz mode for about 15 minutes. Baking time depends on the thickness of the blanks and the features of the oven. As soon as the stripes grow in volume and are appetizing, they are ready. Let the layers cool completely.

Collecting a log of a log is most convenient right on the desktop. We spread a fairly wide and long section (or several) of the food film. Right on it we distribute a couple of tablespoons of custard cream (focus on the length of puff sticks).

We lay out part of the workpieces on top of the cream.

We apply another part of the custard. Thus, we repeat the manipulations until the dough and the cream end.

Using a cling film, we turn the layers smeared with cream in the form of that very log. We send to the refrigerator for impregnation and stabilization for 8-10 hours. I cook this cake in the evening, and in the morning I start design.

2-3 The most ruddy layers and 3-4 tablespoons of custard will need to be left for decoration. Puffs chop your fingers so that it turns out not very finely. Tighten the cream with cling film and send it to the refrigerator.

When the workpiece is saturated, he will grab and keep the shape, unfold it and completely remove the food film.

On all sides, we coat stained with custard.

Sprinkle with chopped layers to fill all the places where the cream is visible.

We transfer to a beautiful plate and you can enjoy. Tip: so that the log cake can be cut with neat portioned pieces, put in the freezer literally for 30-40 minutes.
