Recipe # 2

"Alenka" is a cake that can be executed in several versions, but the condensed milk remains in the composition of its cream.

This recipe is different only in composition and quantity of cakes.

For the test, we need:

- sour cream (thick, 300 grams);

- eggs (2 pieces);

- butter (100 grams, softened);

- soda (1 teaspoon, extinguished with vinegar);

- flour (about 4 glasses).

Preparation of cakes

In the butter we add one egg and sour cream with the slaked soda, mix everything thoroughly and add a little flour. The dough should be elastic, because it will need to roll out about 12 thin cakes.

We spread the received first thin cake on a baking tray, lubricated with oil, pierce it a couple of times with a fork and send it to a preheated to 180 degrees oven for ten to twelve minutes.

The cake should be golden in color.

We repeat these actions with each of the cakes.

Preparation of impregnation

Alenka is a cake that turns out to be very delicate due to condensed milk in its composition, but still important is the impregnation of the cakes, which gives them special softness.

The time during which the cake is baked can be used to make the cream and impregnation.

The composition of the impregnation is very simple, it includes such ingredients as:

- water (2 cups);

- sugar (3 tablespoons or as much fructose);

- cognac (3 tablespoons if the cake is cooked for adults).

It is necessary to boil water, add sugar to it, mix and, if desired, add alcohol to a slightly cooled liquid.

Making Cream

Ingredients for the preparation of cream:

- Butter (200 grams);

- a bank of condensed milk (you can prepare yourself).

In order to prepare the cream, you need to beat a little softened (but not melted) butter with condensed milk until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

During this time, the cake should be ready, we carefully take it out of the oven, but we can not remove it from the mold, we must wait until it cools down a little.

The cooled cake is cut along into three identical parts and put them on the boards.

Next to impregnate the cakes, for this we water them with impregnation directly on the board or dish. Thanks to such actions, the cake becomes juicy and tender.

Then directly on the dish, lubricate each of the cakes with cream.

The top of the resulting delicacy can be decorated with favorite kinds of nuts or prunes.
