Sancho Panza, the characterization of which is the subject of this review, is one of the main characters in the famous novel by M. Cervantes “Don Quixote”. He is a simple peasant, has a wife and children, however, yielding to the entreaties of the knight and tempted by the idea of \u200b\u200bbecoming governor of the island, the hero leaves his native home and becomes the squire of his master.
This hero is considered to be the antagonist of the main character, since he seems to be completely devoid of the worldview that is characteristic of his master. Sancho is primarily interested in material gain, the opportunity to get rich. He has his own philosophy of life, based on simple worldly wisdom. No wonder his speech is replete with popular quotes, sayings and proverbs. An ordinary peasant, he perceives everything that happens through the prism of his special, peasant consciousness. He tries to find a practical explanation for everything, he is not inclined to go into abstract reasoning, like his companion. Thus, at first glance it may seem that the main character is opposed by Sancho Panza. The characterization of this character, however, shows that this is not entirely true.
The squire of the protagonist is, in a sense, his double, despite the obvious difference in characters. No wonder both immediately found a common language and even made friends throughout the journey. The fact is that both can be found many similarities. First of all, it concerns their unlimited credulity. After all, just like Don Quixote, Sancho Panza is simple-hearted and unsophisticated.
The characterization of the hero proves that in this respect he is very similar to the master. For example, he immediately believed in the possibility of his governorship and during their journey never once doubted this. Despite the fact that he often questioned the words of his companion and even deceived him more than once, Sancho himself nevertheless easily allowed the possibility that he was once destined to become a ruler. At the same time, his own comfort is most important for him, as his next statement says: “Now feed me or take away the governorship.”
Most surprisingly, his wish really came true: once the duke actually appointed a squire as the leader of the island. Pansa borrowed a lot from Don Quixote and implemented these skills in his management. So, he was honest, fair, trying to imitate his master. Especially the inhabitants were amazed at his expression, which can be largely explained not only by his innate eloquence, but by the influence of the owner.
Of great importance for understanding the meaning of the novel is its image. Sancho Panza is one of the most attractive characters not only in the novel of the writer, but also in world literature in general. He became close to many readers and gained great popularity largely due to the fact that in his person the author embodied the traditional national character. Such characters, as a rule, have always enjoyed the love of readers because of their innocence, credulity, and humor. During the journey, the hero takes all adventures for granted, which immediately becomes attractive to the reader. He operates with concrete concepts, in his speech there are almost no abstract metaphors (“A building is good on a good foundation”).
His remarks and phrases are a real treasury of the people's experience of life. And if Don Quixote explains what is happening from the point of view of a knight and nobleman, then his faithful and unchanging squire prefers to dispense with well-defined, vivid phraseological units that add a touch of warm humor to the story.
Sancho Panza's famous quotes testify to his keen mind, observation and cunning. It can be seen from them that the hero argues from a practical point of view, taking care primarily of physical health, relations with people, and comfort - both physical and mental. For example, he belongs to the phrase: "Where the music plays, there can be nothing wrong."
So, the image of the squire Don Quixote is an integral part of the whole novel, without him the character of a knight would not be so expressive. And the character himself is a self-sufficient and independent figure, since it is rooted in folk life. So, Sancho Panza was a kind of double of the knight. The characterization of this character is impossible without comparing it with the master.
The classic Sancho Pancho cake recipe is based on making a biscuit. There are different options for dessert recipes. Instant chocolate biscuit consists of several layers of cakes, but it is not too high.
The main ingredients of the Sancho Pancho cake are cakes, nuts, pineapples and cream. A recipe for butter-free air biscuit based on eggs, flour and sugar allows you to make a cake for 8 servings. Products for sponge dessert base:
In flour, before mixing the dough, you can add 2 tsp. baking powder or 1/2 tbsp. potato starch so that the flour product does not crumble before being cut into pieces. Instead of potato baking, corn, wheat or rice starch is suitable. Sponge cake flour must be of the highest grade.
Baking will have a porous structure, which is convenient for further processing. To give the test a chocolate color will allow cocoa powder, added before spreading in a greased piece of butter in a form in the amount of 4 tbsp. When baking, the biscuit acquires a chocolate hue. The color of the Sancho Pancho cake is contrasting.
The use of canned pineapples 400-500 g as a filling improves the taste characteristics of the cake. To prepare a prescription test, it is convenient to use a blender that allows you to quickly mix fresh kefir, sour cream or eggs into a homogeneous mass. It is better to make the cream from sour cream of the highest grade of 20% fat, taking it in an amount of 650-700 g.
Cream sour cream should not have a sharp sour taste or signs of fermentation. For a more airy cream, liquid cream with a fat content of at least 30% is suitable, which is best used when chilled. Before mixing the composition with a blender, add powdered sugar (0.5 tbsp) and a pinch of salt to taste in the mixture. The ingredients will cost more, but the cream is tastier than sour cream.
To prepare juicy pastries with a delicate taste, a pre-baked biscuit is suitable, which can be stored for 2-4 days before creating the original Sancho Pancho cake. Ready cake allows you to taste the delicate creamy or sour cream, turning into a fresh pineapple dessert. Then the biscuit acquires a spicy taste of cognac, and after that - a bitter chocolate glaze. Dessert preparation method:
You can replace the finished biscuit with cookies. For tea or coffee, serve a cake beautifully decorated with chocolate. A melted chocolate bar is best applied to the whole cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours. If you pour the cake with too hot glaze, the cream will begin to melt and drain. Before decorating, place the dessert in the cold. Decorate, waiting for the solidification of the top layer of cream to completely harden.
It is better not to bake too high cake, as the recipe requires chopping about 2/3 of the volume of all baking. This will make the original slide from biscuit dough, the sequence of preparation of which is as follows:
Prepared biscuit dough should be viscous, i.e. thicker than sour cream. You can add cocoa only in one of two parts of the dough, divided in half, and not make the cake completely chocolate.
There are two ways to prepare a biscuit dough: with and without heating. In the first case, it is convenient to use a water bath to heat the pot with products, including eggs and sugar. Bring the mixture to a temperature of 40-50 ° C. For continuous whipping of the mixture during heating, you can use a metal whisk. Remove the saucepan removed from the water bath from the heated contents to room temperature. After that, add the sifted flour to the mass, increased in volume by 2-3 times, and knead a homogeneous biscuit dough.
It is better to bake a cake blank in a round shape with a diameter of 22-24 cm. If you take a larger container, it is more difficult to make a stable slide on pineapples and a wide base base from a large amount of baking. Cover the bottom of the mold with baking paper and pour biscuit dough into it.
The baking process of biscuit dough depends on its volume in the form. With a biscuit thickness of 25-40 mm, bake the cake for about 35-50 minutes in an oven heated to 200-220 ° C. If the thickness of the biscuit is less than 10 mm, then the mold can be placed in the oven for 10-20 minutes and bake the dough at the same temperature.
The oven must be heated before whipping the dough. At the very beginning of baking, a baking sheet or a form with a biscuit dough saturated with air should not be rearranged or pulled. This can lead to shaking of the biscuit, the mass of which will become denser due to the release of air when moving the mold.
To check the readiness, it is enough to pierce the cake with a wooden toothpick, which should come out of the blank clean without lumps of raw dough. The finished biscuit is also easy to identify by the delicious smell. Remove the cake from the mold by cooling to divide into 2 equal parts with a knife.
It is better not to regret products on the cream, carefully impregnating the biscuit product with the composition. The classic recipe for sour cream for dessert:
To prepare the cream, you can use rustic sour cream. This product has a thick consistency. To separate the serum, it is enough to shift it into gauze and hang it for 3 hours.
Cream from village sour cream (1 tbsp.) And powdered sugar (4 tbsp) does not require additional additives. An incredibly magnificent mass can be whipped from a dairy product without the addition of gelatin, which is better not to tint. Whipped cream should be held on a whisk.
You can pour the cream on the cake. Whipping thick cream with a fat content of 35% is very convenient, and it is better to add gelatin to a cream of liquid cream (20% fat). When whipping, the cream may cause agitation, so it is better to immediately release the mass from excess liquid by laying out the composition on a sieve. If this process happened again, then it is already impossible to turn the mixture into a cream.
It is better to prepare butter cream before soaking the dessert, which can be stored in the refrigerator for only 2-3 hours. If the cream is whipped without gelatin, then the cream will begin to creep and lose shape. The sequence of preparation of air treats:
If you whip the cream with a mixer, then the nozzle should be in the form of a frame, and for a blender it is more convenient to use a whisk.
To flavor a biscuit cake, sugar syrup is suitable as an impregnation. The product will be flabby if the baking is not kept for 7 hours before soaking in syrup, which must be cooled to room temperature before use. You can add cognac, white dessert wine, coffee, vanillin, liquor to the composition.
To prepare 100 g of syrup, take 2 tbsp. granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons water. The recipe for sweet impregnation for biscuit baking is as follows:
If canned pineapples are used as a filling for the cake, then the syrup from under them can be used instead of water, in addition diluted cognac, liquor or wine (2 tbsp.)
It is convenient to use a thin cake 1.5 cm thick remaining after cutting the finished biscuit into 2 parts as the basis for the cake during the dessert assembly process. Divide the sizeable part into small cubes with a side of 3 cm, but do not grind it, otherwise the biscuit cake will be crushed. Then prepare the pre-soaked chopped pastries and gradually assemble the cake:
Pineapples, if desired, can be replaced with processed fresh cherries and berries. Slices of biscuit and filling are best laid out in layers, lubricating each of them with cream. The filling can be pre-mixed with walnuts or soaked dried fruits.
The topmost layer should not be flat, but wavy. The remaining cream should be distributed over it, pouring it onto a biscuit. Put the assembled Sancho Pancho cake in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, so that the cakes with filling are finally saturated with cream.
Chocolate icing is ideal for decorating a biscuit slide covered with cream. Simple glaze recipes are based on the use of water and sugar with the addition of cocoa powder. Compounds more complex can be prepared from butter, sour cream or cream:
Another option for making chocolate icing:
Friction inside the composition will lead to a clarification of the glaze, on the surface of which you can see a thin shiny crust. This will determine the readiness of the glaze. Apply the composition to baking chilled to room temperature.
To decorate the cake, melt the chocolate with butter at the same time in a water bath. Bananas, cut into thin plates or circles, stick to the surface of the cake is easy. Grease the cake with icing, and after decorating the pastries with bananas, pour the whole dessert with glazed lipstick.

Some people confuse the Pancho cake with other cakes that have almost the same appearance - these are the “Count Ruins” and “Stepka Rastreka”. But this Pancho is much more interesting in cooking and in taste. There are various recipes for the preparation of this cake, which we will try to describe.
Confectioners of the famous Moscow confectionery do not disclose the Pancho cake recipe, although there is an opinion that this recipe was found during a survey of residents. The cake is so popular that many housewives, having tried it, tried to bring it to life at home. For some, it worked out and many varieties of cake appeared with different fillings.
Since Pancho is confused with the Count's ruins, it is necessary to find their differences, by which you can accurately determine which cake is in front of us. Imagine the ingredients that contains the classic recipe for these cakes in a table and see what they are different in composition.
The cooking method for both cakes is almost the same, with the only difference being that Pancho should look like an even hill, and the ruins are similar to their name. It can already be seen from the test that Pancho contains more eggs, which, when thoroughly beaten, give the cake more airiness and softness of taste .
There is still a difference in the glaze that covers the cake, for Count's ruins it is prepared with the addition of cocoa powder, and the Pancho glaze recipe requires exclusively melted chocolate bar. Although the experiments put on both recipes, one way or another, upgrading them.
For the purposes of the experiment, many housewives add various fruits, nuts, and berries between layers. The most common cake was Pancho with pineapple. But there are still:
The recipe for each is almost the same in cooking, the difference is only in the number of ingredients and excipients. Let's start by using the classic recipe, and then consider the rest with additives.
The ingredients for the cake itself have already been presented above in the comparative table, but it is worth repeating. To prepare the cake you will need:
Filling a can of canned pineapples and a glass of walnut.
The icing is made of dark chocolate - half a tile and 30g. butter.
In order to cook the cake correctly, you need to get all the products that were stored in the refrigerator about an hour before cooking, so that they warm to room temperature.
Next, we begin to prepare the dough for the cake. We break the eggs into a bowl and with the help of the mixer we achieve volumetric foam, after which we pour sugar in a thin stream, and the mixer works all the time. After waiting for the complete dissolution of sugar in the eggs - turn off the mixer and start working with other products.
The remaining dry products are mixed, after having sifted flour and cocoa. Add to the sweet mass of eggs. Then carefully mix with a spoon until smooth without lumps.
Pour all the resulting dough into a baking dish. Someone uses a mold with a removable board, someone uses silicone. But they must be smeared with butter, moreover, creamy, and only then pour in the dough.
The oven by this time should be preheated to 180 degrees, at which we then bake for about half an hour.
Cooking cream. Using a mixer, whip the cream, start at low speed and gradually bring it to the maximum. The cream should thicken, after which we add sour cream and sugar without stopping whipping. You can change sugar to powdered sugar, then things will go faster.
We take out the cake from the stove, and wait for it to cool completely so that it can be safely taken with your bare hand. Only after that we take it out of the mold. Next, with a very sharp knife, cut off the bottom layer of about 1 cm, and cut the rest into cubes, about two by two centimeters. We put the bottom layer on a plate and begin to collect the cake. With pineapple liquid, a little soak the cake, then cover it with cream. Next, spread the nuts, previously chopped into medium slices and pineapples, take all the ingredients in half of the original volume.
Dip the chopped cake into a cream and lay on a walnut pineapple layer. The torus should be a slide, so all layers should taper to the top.
We divide the remaining nuts and pineapples into two equal parts, one of which is also laid out on a layer of biscuit cubes, and again dip the cubes into the cream and cover the pineapples with nuts. The top of the mountain is the remaining pineapples and nuts, which must be put on a layer of biscuit cubes. We generously cover the entire mountain with the remaining cream.
Prepare the icing - break the chocolate into small pieces and mix with butter. Cook in a steam bath until a homogeneous brown mass is obtained.
The smaller the wedges of chocolate, the faster the icing will prepare.
Gently pour the cooked cake with the resulting glaze and hide in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. After this time, enjoy a delicious dessert with tea or coffee.
The recipe for this cake is not very different from the classic, only walnuts are changed to hazelnuts, and pineapples to bananas. The ingredients for the cake are not different from the previous one, the cream also remains unchanged. It turns out that only the filler changes. Bananas regimen with plastics 1 cm. (Naturally peeling them from the peel). Fry the hazelnuts a bit and leave to cool. The cake is collected in the same way as in the previous recipe, replacing pineapples with bananas, and walnuts with hazelnuts. For a full cake you will need 3-4 bananas and a glass of nut. After complete assembly, send the cake to the refrigerator to soak in the cream and cool a little. The cake is ready - you can serve it on the table.
Do not repeat the recipe for the dough and cream, as they are the same as in the classic recipe. What should be done with the filler? We remove cherries from the seeds, and wash the dried apricots and raisins, cut the dried apricots into pieces, which should be equal with raisins.
It will take a glass of cherries, 50 gr. raisins and 50 gr. chopped dried apricots.
It is important to know!
According to the Ministry of Health, diets today are the main methods weight loss. However, the number of overweight people continues to grow! In this regard, there appeared "Bee Slim" - drops for burningup to 80% fat.
This is the only recipe in which two cakes are baked, and not one as in the classic. The dough prepared according to the classic recipe without cocoa is divided into two parts. Add cocoa to one, and dried fruit to the second half. We bake each cake, light with dried fruits will go on the formation of a hill, and dark on the bottom layer.
We form a hill, which begins with cherries, walnuts and dried fruit residues, then cubes of white cake. So we continue to the end of the mountain - there should be 3 layers of filler and 2 of biscuit cubes. Fill everything with cream and let stand in the cold for about 3 hours.
When you cut one piece, then in the section you can see the play of colors - red, orange, brown and white. Very beautiful.
