Agree that the most delicious cake is the one that has been familiar to us since childhood. I propose to bake "Ryzhik" - the cake is delicious and simple, and which of the three recipes is the best, decide for yourself. I choose the one whose ingredients are in my refrigerator and resort to the help of a slow cooker when I need to cook it quickly.
Kitchenware: 2 bowls, saucepan, rolling pin, baking sheet, oven, mixer, colander.
You can use margarine or spread instead of butter. Try to buy thick sour cream.
Before you cook the Ryzhik cake, watch this video and the recipe will become clearer and easier.
You can cut the cake into small wedges both before serving and directly on the table with guests. The pieces are laid out with a special spatula or tongs on dessert plates and placed so that the sharp corner of the wedge is directed towards the guest.
It is from this side that you need to start eating it. Since our cake is soft and does not include hard layers, only a dessert spoon can be served from cutlery. A cup of tea, coffee or other drinks is placed to the right of the dessert plate. Eat it slowly, savoring every bite.

We offer to cook a delicious Ryzhik cake at home according to a recipe with step-by-step photos. This cake is made from wonderful caramel cakes and delicious sour cream and butter cream with condensed milk. The Ryzhik cake turns out to be large and heavy, so it is suitable for a large company, although in a small family it will not stay in the refrigerator for a long time.
When preparing the Ryzhik cake, it is very important that you let the cake rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before serving. Then it will become so tender that it can be "eaten with the lips". The recipe uses a glass of 250 ml.
The most delicious cream for our Ginger is prepared very simply. You can find the recipe for its preparation at the link in the 10th step of the recipe.
The simplest and at the same time beautiful and original decoration of the cake will be smearing it with cream and rolling it in crushed crumbs made from the remains of cakes. On top of Ginger, you can squeeze a few flowers from any cream, or simply decorate it with a sprig of mint.
In a bowl of sufficient volume, break 2 eggs and pour half a glass of sugar. Beat the mass until a fluffy gentle foam is formed (5-6 minutes).
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter and half a cup of sugar. Heat the mixture over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Pour in honey, stir, bring to a boil, then add soda. Mix quickly again. The mass should foam strongly, and also increase in volume.
At this point, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mass cool slightly (4-5 minutes), continuing to stir. Next, pour in the egg-sugar mixture in a thin stream, mix and return the saucepan to low heat.
Gradually stir in a glass of flour, very carefully rubbing all the lumps. In the same way, stir in the second glass of flour. Remove saucepan from heat. Allow the mass to cool slightly, and then stir in the remaining flour to it.
You may not need to mix the entire third cup into the batter, as the thickness of the mixture depends on the size of the eggs used and the density of the flour.
The dough should be soft, tender, very pliable in work.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
From each part, roll out very thin cakes with a diameter of about 20 cm on parchment paper (you can roll them out in the shape of a rectangle or square).
Cut each cake into shape (plate, pan lid) and pierce with a fork several times (save the trimmings). Bake the cakes one at a time in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C until golden brown (10-12 minutes).
Remove the finished cakes from the baking sheet while still warm, separating the pastries from the paper, and fold them in a slide. Cooling down, the cakes will become brittle and brittle, do not break.
Separately, bake the trimmings from the cakes, cool them and grind them into crumbs (in a mixer or with a rolling pin on the table).
Put sour cream in a bowl, add vanilla and unboiled condensed milk, mix until smooth (at the lowest speed of the mixer, but better by hand).
Smear the cooled cakes with cream, placing one on top of the other.
Grease the sides and top of the cake as well.
Sprinkle generously with crumbs from leftover cakes.
Leave the cake for 1-2 hours to stand at room temperature, and then rearrange in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
This time will be enough for the cakes to soak in the cream.
Bon appetit!
New Year holidays are just around the corner, it's time to add themed recipes to the site. The selection of everyone's favorite Ryzhik cake opens, a classic recipe with a photo step by step will be a detailed instruction that will help you prepare honey cakes and sour cream. This most delicate cake is prepared in almost the same way as a honey cake, the difference is only in the thickness of the cakes and a slight difference in proportions. If I make six cakes for a honey cake, then the more there are, and the thinner they are, the more tender the finished cake will be. The classic Ryzhik recipe is made with sour cream, which requires good fat sour cream.
The most successful and delicious honey cake Ryzhik is obtained if the dough for cakes is cooked in a water bath. Very intense honey taste, the cakes are tender, porous, perfectly absorb the cream.
To prepare a classic cake "Ryzhik" with sour cream you will need:
From the dishes you will need a deep bowl for beating eggs with sugar and two pans for a water bath. I choose the size of the pots so that one fits into the other, but does not hang out in it, but sits tightly on the rim (this is important, you will have to stir for a long time and intensively during the preparation of the dough). I break two eggs into a bowl, pour half a glass of sugar.
With a mixer, I begin to beat first at a low speed until the ingredients are combined.
When the mass thickens and brightens, I increase the speed almost to the maximum and continue to beat for about three minutes. You should get a fluffy, airy mass of cream or almost white color, like a biscuit.
Pour enough water into a large saucepan so that the water does not reach the bottom of the smaller saucepan. I put it on medium heat, and as soon as it boils, put the butter cut into pieces in a small saucepan. I melt.
I warm the oil well, it starts to foam. Pour the rest of the sugar, mix and leave to melt. It should be noted that the crystals will not completely disperse, but after five to seven minutes they will partially melt.
I add thick natural honey. If yours is runny, add three tablespoons for a more intense cake flavor. I mix honey with butter and sugar. As soon as it heats up and softens, the sugar grains will melt and the mixture will become homogeneous.
I pour the egg-sugar mass into the pan, stirring so that the eggs do not boil.
Stir very well until the mixture becomes homogeneous, with air bubbles.
I add soda. In the classic recipe for Ryzhik cake, soda is added not slaked, vinegar is not needed. It will be extinguished with honey (there is acid in it) and there will be no specific aftertaste.
After adding soda, the mass will become lush, will begin to increase in volume. The consistency will be like custard or condensed milk.
As it warms up, the color will change to yellowish-golden, and there will be more and more bubbles. The mass will become very airy and slightly viscous.
In total, I cook the base for the dough for 30-35 minutes until an intense honey color. I stir almost constantly, occasionally taking breaks for a couple of minutes. The base will begin to darken first near the walls of the pan and gradually the entire volume will turn reddish. If you leave the dough light, then when you add flour, it will even brighten and the cakes for the Ryzhik cake will not be golden, but light.
Without removing from the heat, pour a glass of sifted flour and immediately stir it vigorously into the honey base.
Thoroughly grind, stir until the mixture becomes homogeneous. I pour in the second glass and mix in the same way. The dough will thicken, but remain loose and sticky. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, about five minutes.
It is very important not to shift the flour, so then I add quite a bit. If the dough is made dense, it will quickly harden, it will be very difficult to roll out the cakes. I pour half a glass of flour on the board. I dump the dough on the flour and start kneading quickly. I needed exactly half a cup of flour, maybe you will need more. Pour the next portion only after the first is completely mixed into the dough. Focus on density. The dough should be soft, very plastic, like well-kneaded plasticine.
Immediately I give the workpiece the shape of a flat sausage, it is more convenient to cut pieces of the same size.
In order not to stick to the knife, I sprinkle with flour, and I also dip the knife in flour. I divide it into ten parts (you can make 8 or 12, depending on what diameter of the cake you want).
The oven is already preheated to 200 degrees, I warm it up in advance so that the workpieces do not wait. Dust the board well with flour. I knead one piece into a cake, roll it out with a rolling pin into a cake about 2 mm thick.
Advice.Roll out the dough on flour, it is very tender and can stick to the table or rolling pin. Then, with the finished cakes, sweep the flour with a brush.
I sprinkle the baking sheet with flour (necessarily, otherwise it will stick!), I transfer the cake and prick it with a fork over the entire surface. I put it in the oven at the middle level for literally three to four minutes. A maximum of five, just to darken a little, but not blush. While one is baking, I roll out two or three more and lay them out on the table on flour. The finished cake immediately, hot, cut to the desired size. The cooled cut will not work, it will harden and break. I use the bottom of a detachable baking dish with a diameter of 20 cm. I put it on the cake and circle it with a sharp knife. I take off the trimmings, they will go for decoration.
Advice.You can use a lid or a plate as a template, the main thing is to do everything quickly while the cake is soft.
I lay out the finished cakes on the table. When completely cooled, brush over with a brush on all sides and stack on a flat dish.
While the cakes are lying down (by the way, they can be baked in advance and kept in a tightly closed bag), I make sour cream for the Ryzhik cake. I buy sour cream in the market, I take thick homemade sour cream with a high percentage of fat content. From the store cream is not whipped, you need either a fixative or some other additives. I prefer to buy natural sour cream, which will definitely make a thick, tasty cream. I shift the sour cream into a tall container, add sugar.
I beat with a mixer at the lowest speed. Here you need to monitor the condition and consistency of the cream, so as not to interrupt (fatty sour cream can exfoliate into oil grains and whey). I do this: I work with a mixer for about a minute, then leave the cream at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to dissolve the sugar. And whisk again until fluffy. By consistency, it will be smooth, lush, thicker than sour cream. So that you can spread on cakes, and not pour.
I put the cake on a flat dish, smear the entire surface with cream. Each takes 3-4 tbsp. l. sour cream.
I lubricate the sides and the top cake with the rest of the cream, level it with a flat spatula. The cake turns out quite high, but then the cakes are soaked, and it will settle a little.
I grind the scraps from the cakes in a meat grinder or in a blender into various crumbs. It will come in handy for decorating the cake.
Sprinkle crumbs on the sides of the cake. I adapted to decorate with a culinary spatula or a flat knife. I pick up the crumbs, at a slight angle I lightly press it against the side of the cake smeared with cream. And I stretch up. Sticks very well, lays down evenly.
I also sprinkle the top with crumbs, I make the layer thicker. What crumbled, then I shake off with a brush.
Ready cake Ginger be sure to leave soaked. Five or six hours is enough. I guess with cooking so that it stands in the refrigerator overnight or from lunch to evening.
The photo shows how successful the Ryzhik cake turned out, the classic recipe is perfect in every way. Thin honey cakes soaked in velvety sour cream - the perfect combination of flavors and a presentable appearance. Happy tea! Your Plushkin.
For those who like to look at everything in detail, the video version of the recipe
Cake "Ryzhik" is one of the few desserts that are easy and pleasant to prepare. The dough recipe does not have a lot of options, but the cake cream can be prepared in many ways.
The classic Ryzhik recipe can be found in almost any cookbook of our mothers and grandmothers.
It remains to prepare the cream by simply whisking all the ingredients with a whisk or mixer. Then we collect the cake, laying the cakes on top of each other and smearing them with cream.
Before serving, the dessert can be garnished with crumbled dough scraps or walnut kernels.
On a note. In order for the cake to soak well, it is recommended to leave it in the refrigerator for the night. From above it can even be pressed down with a lid
"Ryzhik" with custard is incredibly tender and fragrant. For this recipe, cakes can be prepared according to the classics, as described in the previous recipe. But the cream is worth talking about separately.
"Ryzhik" with sour cream, prepared according to the recipe below, is very sweet.
Delicate, sweet sour cream is quite easy to prepare. At the same time, it is very tasty and soaks the cakes well, for which novice housewives love it very much.
The preparation of the cream consists in mixing these products until smooth. The oil should be soft during use. To do this, you need to get it out of the refrigerator at least an hour before preparing the cream.
In the future, the oil will help the dessert harden and keep its shape.
On a note. Instead of condensed milk, you can use sugar or powdered sugar. The powder will make the cream thicker and more delicate in taste, while the sugar grains can remain with insufficiently long whipping and crunch in the finished cream.
It remains to collect the “Ryzhik” honey cake from ready-made cakes and cream, let it brew for at least a couple of hours in the refrigerator and then serve it to the table.
The secret of the extraordinarily delicious "Ryzhik" with nuts and fruits lies in its layer. Cakes are again prepared according to the classic recipe. They will need 6 pieces.
Before serving, you can decorate the cake with the rest of the fruit.
The cream should be allowed to brew for another quarter of an hour, and then used for its intended purpose. Thanks to the oil, the cake will harden well in the refrigerator, but at the same time, the dessert will retain its tenderness.
Cooking your favorite since childhood "Ryzhik" is as easy as shelling pears. It does not require much time to prepare, but it always turns out tasty and tender. Surprise your family with delicious baked goods!
