After smearing the cakes with such a cream for high-quality impregnation, they should stand for at least 5-6 hours.

  3. The mass that has cooled to about body temperature combines with yogurt and actively whisk with a whisk.

Cakes coated with the resulting yogurt cream should stand at room temperature for a couple of hours.

To make the creamy cream thick and very tender, you need to choose high-quality fatty oil for it.

Condensed Milk Option

Ingredients: 2 standard packs of high-quality butter, 380 g of condensed milk, 60 g of cognac.

  1. The oil softens to the point where it can be easily beaten with a mixer. It is processed at a low speed of the device until it becomes airborne.
  2. Gradually, condensed milk is added to the mass. If desired, you can cook it a little directly in the jar, so that the color of the product becomes caramel. The main thing is not to overdo the condensed milk until thickened.
  3. Lastly, cognac is poured into the mixture. In general, any alcoholic drink will do. It is better to take the option without obvious flavors that can ruin the mouth-watering flavor of the future cake.

  1. A full glass of granulated sugar is poured with the indicated amount of water and cooked in a saucepan over high heat until the liquid acquires a dark amber tint. Immediately after that, butter is added to it. It will quickly begin to melt. At this time, you need to actively mix all the components.

  3. Prepared gelatin is introduced into the mass. Products are mixed until smooth.
  4. The mixture is divided into two parts.

  6. Strawberry part is added in one half, apricot part in the other. Cream is whipped with a mixer into both masses. They should turn out very airy and magnificent.

To begin with, the biscuit is tasty and delicate in itself, and therefore I don’t want to spoil it or “make it heavier”. This should be our main task.

And a couple of “discoveries” that I myself came to or found in prescription books.

Do not rush to grease the cakes with cream while they are hot! This will not make them especially tasty: the top layer will be soaked, but the middle and bottom of the cake will remain dry.

Therefore, our actions:

  • The first thing that is necessary for the cake to become soft and to retain moisture in it is to let the biscuit cool slightly after baking. Then it is wrapped with a film and placed in the cold for at least 8 hours.

  • The second - between impregnation and lubrication with cream, cake should take 20-30 minutes.
  • Third! Sponge cake does not belong to desserts “a la guests on the doorstep”. After we soak the cakes and before serving, time must pass, at least 6 hours.

I called all the main subtleties. Now you can go to the impregnation for dessert itself. I'll start with simple recipes.

Sugar and water biscuit impregnation

Advantage: always in stock. This impregnation is universal. It is basic and on its basis it is possible to design more complex and interesting tastes. You can add juices, spices, and aromatic substances such as zest (except for spices, everything is added only to chilled syrup).

Recipe: ideally, water and sugar are taken in a ratio of 6 to 4. At 6 tbsp. water need 4 tbsp. Sahara.

  1. Heat the water;
  2. Add sugar to it. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar;
  3. The syrup will boil and immediately remove the bowl with it from the fire so that the syrup does not thicken and caramelize. Cool.

This impregnation for biscuit does not contain alcohol, the most common and simple. When it cools to room temperature, vanilla extract can be added to give a sweet aroma. But the main thing is that it blends wonderfully with any cream and cake: coffee, chocolate, citrus and fruit.

I used this impregnation in many other recipes.

Advantage: another basic universal impregnation. Here are just kids to cakes moistened with it, it is better not to let. But for an adult company, good cognac added to syrup has a number of advantages. Of course, this is not 2 in 1, drank, bit. No. Then why in the cake algolol? The aroma and taste of cognac is very rich, it will decorate a biscuit, give it a spicy sophistication.
  Another important little thing. The fact that there is an alcoholic beverage in the composition is more noticeable if a low-quality product is used. Therefore, it is advisable to choose not confectionery brandy, but expensive, proven. Then the taste will be softer, more voluminous.

  • Water - 0.5 cups
  • Cognac - 60 g.
  • Sugar - 0.5 tbsp.

How to cook:

Put sugar in boiled water and mix. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Add cognac when the temperature of the syrup is at room temperature. Stir - and you can lubricate the cakes.
  Most often, such impregnation includes additives: juices, coffee, etc.

Here are some recipe options:

- with coffee

  • Water - 1.5 tbsp .;
  • Cognac - 2 tbsp .;
  • Coffee - 2 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp.

I used such an impregnation for.

How to cook:

Boil 1 tbsp. water with sugar. Cook with 0.5 tbsp. water coffee, insist, then strain. When the drink and syrup are at room temperature, mix and add cognac.

- With cherry juice

  • Water - 0.5 tbsp .;
  • Cherry juice - 0.5 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp;
  • Cognac - 3 tbsp.

Boil water, stir with sugar, keep on fire for 3-5 minutes. To keep the juice bright and retain its taste, add only to the cooled syrup. Mix well, add cognac and can be lubricated. This type of impregnation is perfect not only for but also for.

- With lemon juice

  • Water - 0.5 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 0.5 tbsp .;
  • Cognac - 3 tbsp .;
  • Lemon juice - 1 tsp;
  • Vanilla extract - 0.5 tsp.

Cook the syrup by boiling sugar with water for 3 minutes. Cool and add cognac, vanilla and lemon juice.

Impregnation for milk biscuit

Advantage: suitable for light cakes. Very gentle impregnation. And this recipe is the basis, you can come up with yourself or take already prepared options for impregnation.

Recipe: I will give 2 options.

With milk

  • Milk - 3 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp.

Stir and boil until sugar is completely dissolved. The cooled impregnation can be applied to grease cakes.

With condensed milk (I will give proportions to a large cake):

  • Condensed milk with sugar - 1 jar;
  • Water - 3 tbsp

How to prepare such an impregnation:

Pour condensed milk with boiling water. Stir well and let cool.
  Both options can be supplemented with vanilla, cinnamon, melted chocolate or brewed coffee.

Jam biscuit impregnation

Advantage: you can take any jam: cherry and strawberry, apricot and apple. Suitable for both purchased and home.
  Recipe:

  • Water - 1 tbsp .;
  • Jam - 0.5 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp.

Mix everything and boil. Cool and pass through a sieve.

Advantage: wine makes cakes juicy and aromatic.

  • Wine - 1 tbsp .;
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp .;
  • Spices - (any to your taste, for example, cinnamon or coriander).

The wine is heating up. Sugar is added. And boils until sugar is completely dissolved. Spices are added and removed from the stove, cooled.
  You can adjust the density of this impregnation. The longer the wine syrup is on fire, the thicker it is, but its alcohol content is less.
  This biscuit impregnation, the recipe of which I gave, is suitable for both red and white wines.

How to calculate the amount of impregnation per cake?

How to determine if this impregnation is enough for one cake and for the whole cake?

There is a simple formula: 1 part of biscuit needs 0.7 parts of impregnation and 1.2 parts of cream.

That is, if the cake is 1 kg, then the impregnation is 700 g, the cream - 1 kg 200 g. But we don’t bake such a big cake so often. The best option is a 6-egg biscuit. It weighs approximately 400-500 grams. So, in order to soak it, you need 280-350 grams of syrup, and 480-600 grams of cream. These figures are approximate, because everyone chooses to his liking. Some people like cakes more dry, others like wet ones, so that it flows down.

How to distribute the impregnation?

This is best done with a spray gun (yes, you can make it specifically for this purpose). Then the impregnation layer will lie flat, unlike spooning. A brush is also suitable. In a word, there is a choice.
A few words after. Impregnation is an important part of the dessert, without it, as if the colors fade. Yes, and dry cakes are obtained if the cream is too thick or between soufflé cakes, or soft cheese as a layer. Of course, it’s all the same tasty, I don’t argue. But not bright. Therefore, I propose to approach the choice of impregnation creatively. What do I take into account? Will there be berries in cream or in cake decorating. And also, what kind of cream, both in terms of density and composition. If berries (fruits) are supposed to be in the decor and / or cream, then berry syrup, fruit juice, and, if desired, some alcoholic beverages can and should be added to the impregnation. Checked! Such synchronization is very impressive! For example, in the “Drunken Cherry” cake this rule works well.

A little nuance. You know, some things need to be checked only on the experience. How many have heard that it is better to soak light cakes with light syrups or milk. For the dark, you can use almost all the impregnations. But, when I saw how classic a sponge cake with coffee impregnation looks unsympathetic, I realized that you need to take into account the color of the cakes as well.

The usual sponge cake will complement the impregnation with the addition of honey, alcohol, coffee, vanilla ... The list is huge. And the fantasy is better not to stop, let them tell. For example, the aroma and soft taste of lavender, zest, green tea, nut essence, milk, from canned pineapple syrup, etc. are interesting. And again I repeat, as for me, it is better when the cream, the biscuit itself and the impregnation complement each other, and Do not play in disagreement. Only it is worth considering the consequences, for example, lemon-lemon and sour-sour will not be too much, if the flavor of this citrus dominates everywhere. Maybe "smooth" it with thick cream or butter?

But for those who want to go up a notch, just select your favorite biscuit recipes, choose a biscuit cream and decide which impregnation for the biscuit seems most appetizing.

Biscuit Impregnation

Biscuit impregnation is needed in order to make the cakes more tender and juicy. We offer you several different types of impregnation, from which you can try what you like.

  • Coffee impregnation

Dissolve sugar (to your taste) in a saucepan with water (1 cup) on the stove, then bring the resulting sugar syrup to a boil and let it cool. Cook coffee (2 tbsp.), Strain it and add together with cognac (1 tbsp.) In syrup. Stir, refrigerate and use as you like.

  • Cognac impregnation

Pour boiled water (200 ml) into the pan, add cherry jam (4 tbsp), mix. Add sugar (3 tbsp. +/- to your taste), cognac (30 ml) and bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring in the process so that sugar does not settle to the bottom. Then remove from heat and let the syrup cool.

  • Milk impregnation

In a bowl, mix condensed milk (150 ml), boiling water (3 cups) and vanilla (to taste). Then let the mixture cool and the impregnation is ready.

  • Currant impregnation

Boil water (1 tbsp.) In a saucepan, then add sugar (2 tbsp.) And currant syrup (1/2 tbsp.). Stir until sugar dissolves, allow to cool.

  • Chocolate impregnation

Prepare a water bath (pour water into a large pot, put on a strong fire, put a smaller pan on top or a bowl that can withstand high temperatures). Cut the butter (100 g) into small pieces and add to the pan along with cocoa (1 tablespoon) and condensed milk (100 g). Mix everything well until smooth. You can soak in a hot mixture immediately when ready.

Biscuit cream

Cream for biscuit is another delicious element with which you can experiment endlessly to get completely different cakes from the seemingly same ingredients.

  • Curd cream

Beat the cottage cheese (400 g) in a large bowl, slowly adding cream (200-250 mg), until a thick mass is obtained. Add sugar (to taste) and vanillin there, mix thoroughly and your cream is ready.

  • Butter cream

Beat softened butter (200 g), icing sugar (1/3 cup) and egg yolks (2 pcs.) Until a homogeneous mass is obtained. If desired, you can add cognac or rum.

  • Custard

Pound the egg yolks (3 pcs.) With flour (1 tsp) and sugar (130 g). Add cream (1/2 cup) there and place on the stove until a thick mixture is obtained (beware of boiling the mixture). Rub the softened butter (150 g), a little sugar, gradually adding the resulting cream. Let the cream cool, add vanilla and mix.

  • Sour cream

Beat sour cream (500 g / 15%) with sugar (2 tbsp.) In a lush foam, add the vanillin to your taste and thickener for sour cream (1 packet). You can use more fat sour cream, if there is no thickener. Let the cream cool and use for decoration.

  • Protein Cream

Beat egg whites (4 pcs.) With crystals of citric acid (or lemon juice) in a lush foam. Continue to beat, adding in portions sugar (1 tbsp.) Until it is completely dissolved.

Sponge cakes are an ideal raw material for making homemade cake. They are baked quickly and easily, but they are very soft, lush and tasty.

About what ingredients are prepared biscuit cakes, we will tell in the article. From it you will learn about how to soak such a base for the cake, with what creams it is lubricated and how to form a dessert.

Sponge cakes: step by step recipe

There are many options for how to bake a lush and soft biscuit at home. A wide variety of products can be used for this. However, one ingredient in it always remains unchanged. These are chicken eggs. They contribute to the production of delicious and lush cakes.

To make a standard cake, you may need 4-5 eggs. In addition to them, other products are added to the dough. Which ones, we will tell right now.

So, to bake lush and soft biscuit cakes at home, you need to prepare:

  • fat sour cream - about 200 g;
  • large eggs - 5 pcs.;
  • soda, extinguished with table vinegar - an incomplete dessert spoon;
  • white sugar - about 260 g;
  • sunflower oil - 10 ml (to lubricate the form);
  • light flour - about 300 g.

Knead the dough

The presented cake biscuit cake recipe is considered a classic. It does not require the purchase of expensive products, and also does not take much time.

To knead the dough, chicken eggs are previously divided into proteins and yolks. Yolks are thoroughly ground with sugar (white), and then add sour cream to them. While the sweet product is dissolved, proceed to the processing of proteins. They are pre-cooled, and then whipped in a very strong foam. Subsequently, it is laid out to the yolks and again thoroughly mixed.

In the resulting mass add soda, extinguished with table vinegar, and light flour. All ingredients are well altered with a spoon and immediately proceed to heat treatment.

Baking products in the oven

Sponge cakes, photos of which are presented in this article, are baked quite quickly. To do this, take a deep detachable form and lubricate it with sunflower oil. Then the whole biscuit dough is placed in the dishes and immediately sent to the oven.

At a temperature of 198-200 degrees, the product is baked for an entire hour. After the specified time, the cake should increase in size, become lush, ruddy and soft.

The readiness of the biscuit can be checked as follows: a toothpick or a match is stuck into the thickness of the product. If nothing sticks to the item (raw dough), then the cake can be safely removed. Otherwise, it must be left in the oven for some time.

Cut the biscuit

Of course, biscuit cakes can be baked in the oven separately. However, we suggest placing all the dough in the form at once.

After the product is ready, it is removed from the dishes, placed on a flat surface and cooled. Subsequently, the biscuit is cut into several cakes 1.5 cm thick. To do this, use a large kitchen knife.

By the way, if the edges of the product turned out to be uneven, then they should also be trimmed. To do this, put a plate of the appropriate diameter on the biscuit (slightly smaller than the cake) and cut off the unnecessary parts.

In the event that you decide to bake the cakes individually, then the dough must be divided in advance into several equal parts (4 or 5). They are alternately laid out in a greased form and baked for about 40 minutes.

The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a lot of time. In addition, baked cakes can be different, which will make the cake uneven and not very beautiful.

Other methods of cooking cakes

Now you know how to make classic biscuit cakes. The recipe presented above is the most popular among housewives. However, it should be noted that there are other ways to prepare such a product. For example, some cooks additionally add condensed milk to the dough. Also, a biscuit is often made on kefir or yogurt. In addition, instead of slaked soda, baking powder can be added to the dough.

If you decide to make an original dessert, we recommend preparing the base with the use of candied fruit, nuts, citrus peel. Often, a cake biscuit cake recipe includes a component such as cocoa. With it you will get a very delicious chocolate treat, especially if you use the appropriate cream.

Making sweet soak

How to soak biscuit cakes? This question is often asked by those housewives who want to get the most juicy and tender cake.

There are many options here. However, the usual syrup is the most popular among cooks. To prepare it, we need:

  • boiled water - 2 glasses;
  • large white sugar - 5 large spoons.

Cooking process

To prepare sugar syrup, you just need to combine both of the mentioned components and boil them on the fire for about 6 minutes. The resulting liquid is thoroughly impregnated with cakes, and then use them for their intended purpose.

By the way, if you decided to use sweet syrup in advance, it is recommended to add a little less sugar to the dough. Otherwise, dessert can be sugary.

Other types of impregnation

Now you know how to soak biscuit cakes. However, it should be noted that sugar syrup is not the only way to get a juicy and tender cake. So, some culinary specialists use store liquor diluted with water as an impregnation. With it, the dessert acquires a special aroma and taste.

If you decide to make strawberry, cherry or raspberry cake, then it is recommended to soak the biscuit with syrup taken from the corresponding jam. If it is too thick and contains a lot of berries, then it must be filtered and diluted with the right amount of boiling water.

Step-by-step recipe for cake made from biscuit cakes

Currently, it’s easier to purchase a cake in a store than baking it yourself. However, not a single dessert bought is comparable to homemade. Therefore, we recommend preparing such a treat only with your own hands.

In the event that, for one reason or another, you cannot bake a magnificent and delicious biscuit, then you can buy it at any time in the nearest store.

Of course, ready-made biscuit cakes differ from self-made ones. However, from them you can make a delicious and beautiful cake, which will surely be appreciated by all members of your family.

So, the recipe for a cake from ready-made biscuit cakes requires the use of:

  • unboiled condensed milk - 1 standard can;
  • high fat butter - 170 g;
  • finished cakes (chocolate or light) - 1 package;
  • “Jubilee” cookies, chopped roasted nuts or cocoa - use at discretion (to decorate the dessert).

Making a delicious cream

A cake from ready-made biscuit cakes is made very quickly. Therefore, most housewives prefer to purchase such products in a store than baking them on their own. Moreover, the main advantage of purchased cakes is that with their help the dessert always turns out to be smooth and surprisingly beautiful.

But before you make a cake from ready-made biscuit cakes, you still have to work a little. After all, condensed cream is not yet sold in supermarkets. For its preparation, high-fat butter is left at room temperature for several hours. Then the soft cooking oil is laid out in a deep dish and whipped using a mixer at the highest speed. During this treatment, condensed milk is gradually poured into the oil. After a few minutes, they get a very magnificent and high-calorie cream.

How to form?

The recipe for a cake made of ready-made biscuit cakes under consideration requires the use of a large cake. We need it not only in order to beautifully serve dessert to guests, but also in order to shape it.

Thus, one of the prepared cakes is spread on the prepared torte maker, and then it is impregnated with syrup (if desired) and lubricated with a condensed cream. Then they spread the second biscuit and do exactly the same with it.

After all the cakes have been consumed, the formed cake is completely greased with the rest of the cream (including the side parts) and proceed to decorate it.

Decorate dessert

Homemade cakes can be decorated with different products. Someone uses ordinary cocoa powder for this, and someone rubs dark chocolate. Also beautiful and tasty is a dessert sprinkled with chopped fried nuts or crumbs from shortbread cookies.

Presenting to the dining table

As mentioned above, recipes with ready-made biscuit cakes are very popular among housewives. And this is not surprising. After all, such a cake is made in just 60 minutes.

After the homemade dessert has been shaped and decorated properly, it is immediately sent to the refrigerator. During the stay of baking in the cold for several hours, the impregnation for biscuit cakes will do the trick, and you will definitely get a juicy and most delicate treat.

Over time, the finished dessert is taken out of the refrigerator and served to the table. After the guests appreciate the culinary skills of the hostess, they cut the dessert into portions, distribute them into beautiful saucers and present them to friends with a cup of hot tea.

Making sour cream

About how to make a condensed cream for biscuit cakes, we described above. However, there are other ways of making such a treat.

If you do not use impregnation for biscuit cakes, then the cream for them should not be made too thick. Otherwise, you get a dry and not very tasty cake. An ideal option for such a dessert is sour cream. To make it at home, we need:

  • high fat sour cream - about 500 g;
  • granulated sugar - about 200 g.

Cooking method

As in the previous recipe, you need a little free time to make homemade cream. High-fat sour cream is placed in a deep bowl, and then whipped vigorously using a mixer. Having received a lush milk mass, granulated sugar is gradually poured to it. If desired, it can be replaced with ordinary icing sugar.

Continuing to whip the ingredients for a while, you get a very light and airy cream, which is immediately used for its intended purpose.

Formation process

It doesn’t matter which biscuit cake you have taken. In any case, it should be used in exactly the same way as was presented in the previous recipe. Sour cream is evenly applied to all the cakes, which in turn are laid out in a pile.

Having formed a dessert, it is also covered with a sweet milk mass, and then it is decorated using berries, fruits, chocolate, whipped cream in cans and more.

Cooking Curd Cream

About how biscuit cake cakes are made, we described above. If, along with sour cream and eggs, a small amount of cottage cheese was added to the dough, then it is more advisable to make the cream with the addition of the same dairy product. So you get a more delicious and nutritious dessert, which children will especially enjoy.

Cottage cheese cream is often used by culinary specialists to make homemade cake. It is considered not only the simplest, but also the most low-calorie.

For quick cooking we need:

  • low fat cottage cheese - about 400 g;
  • thick cream 30% - about 250 ml;
  • vanillin - apply to taste;
  • small sugar - add to taste.

How to cook?

If you purchased coarse-grained cottage cheese, then it is recommended to grind it first through a sieve. Only in this case you will receive the most tender and delicious dessert.

After you have a homogeneous curd mass, it is placed in a deep container, and then beat with a blender at high speed. In the process of such mixing, granulated sugar, heavy cream and vanillin are gradually added to the dairy product.

Whip all the ingredients until a fairly thick and lush mass is obtained. After tasting it, you can add sugar powder or any other ingredients (for example, zest, nuts, cocoa, etc.) to it.

How to shape?

Making sponge cake with curd cream is easy and simple. But in view of the fact that such a delicacy turns out to be too thick, it is not able to make the cakes juicy. Therefore, before applying it, biscuits should be impregnated with some impregnation. To do this, it is good to use sugar syrup or a solution made from liquor.

Applying the curd cream for the cake, you will make not only a very beautiful and voluminous, but also a delicious and healthy dessert.

Making a delicious chocolate cream

Biscuit cake cakes are a universal raw material. It is suitable for any creams, including custard, cream, butter, protein, etc.

If you decide to make a chocolate dessert, we recommend greasing the cakes with chocolate cream. So you get a very beautiful dark product with a pronounced characteristic aroma and taste.

So, to make chocolate cream at home, we need:

  • egg yolk - from one large egg;
  • cold water - 1 large spoon;
  • condensed milk - about 120 g;
  • softened butter - about 200 g;
  • cocoa - 3 large spoons.

Cooking a chocolate treat

There is nothing complicated in making chocolate cream. To do this, take 1 egg yolk, add a large spoonful of cold water to it and mix well. Then the condensed milk is spread to the ingredients. Also in a separate bowl softly beat the softened butter.

After the described steps, all the ingredients are combined and continue to interfere. After adding the necessary amount of cocoa powder to the dishes, the cream is whipped until a thick and lush mass of dark color is obtained.

If you decided to use this particular cream recipe to form a cake, then the cakes should be soaked in syrup. Otherwise, the dessert will be dry.

The only drawback of chocolate cream with condensed milk is its high calorie content.

To summarize

Using the materials of this article, you can not only bake magnificent biscuit cakes on your own, but also make an impregnation, as well as a cream for the cake.

If you don’t have time to knead the dough with your own hands, and then heat it, we recommend using ready-made cakes that are sold in almost every store. How exactly to use them, as well as to form homemade desserts from them, was also described in this article.
