Ingredients:

• Six eggs;
• Two thirds of a glass of sugar;
• A teaspoon of vanillin;
• Incomplete glass of flour;
• A quarter of a glass of starch;
• 100 grams of lemon.

For lemon mousse, take:

• two eggs;
• Four spoonfuls of sugar and starch;
• 350 ml of milk;
• Tablespoon of lemon peel;
• Two spoons of gelatin;
• 500 ml of cream.

To cook the Kurd, stock up:

• Half a glass of lemon juice;
• A tablespoon of lemon juice;
• 2/3 cups of sugar;
• Three chicken eggs.

How to cook dessert

Cake with lemon cream from the USSR is prepared in several stages:

• The first thing you need to do is make a biscuit. To do this, whisk the squirrels and a half of sugar to a firm foam. Mix the remaining sugar with yolks and vanillin. Combine the prepared foods with flour and starch, and then bake the dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment.
• While preparing the base for the cake, make mousse. Mix sugar, eggs and starch, and then pour in the resulting mass of hot milk. Pour the resulting mass into a saucepan and send it to the stove. When the cream thickens, remove it from the heat and close the food film. This is necessary in order to avoid the formation of a crust on the surface. While the cream cools, dissolve gelatin in lemon juice, and then heat it on fire. Combine the gelatin mixture with cream and whipped cream, and then mix the mass with a mixer.
• After this, prepare the Kurd. Put sugar and zest into a saucepan, pour in lemon juice. Boil the food and add whipped eggs to them. Cook the Kurd for five minutes, not forgetting to stir it.
• It's time to pick up the cake. Cut the cooled biscuit along into three pieces. Pour one layer of melted chocolate and let the glaze froze. Turn the base with the chocolate side down and smear it with mousse (use one-third of the total).
• Place the second part of the biscuit on the base. Apply a part of the Kurd and a layer of mousse on it. Cover the cake with the remaining biscuit and send the dessert to the freezer for one hour.

When the specified time has passed, remove the workpiece and cut it into rectangular pieces. Ready meals are served to guests with hot tea or coffee.
