Elena, a site reader, asked me to make a homemade Rotten Stump cake with kefir jam. I express my gratitude to you for this idea, because we had a lot of fun! First, from preparation and decoration, and then from tasting, as our "Stump" turned out to be very tasty!

This is a hearty, moderately sweet cupcake pie, generously soaked in sour cream, thanks to which it turns into a chic 4-tiered cake.

The dough according to the classic recipe for the Rotten Stump cake is kneaded on kefir with the addition of pitted jam. Remarkably, there is no fat at all in the composition of the dough - neither vegetable oil, nor butter - only the form is lubricated with it. Thanks to jam, the cakes acquire an unusual dark beige hue, although there is no cocoa in its composition. Because of this interesting color, the cake got its name, and also because of the loose structure of the cakes. After impregnation and smearing with sour cream, when we began to cut the cake, it began to crumble right in our hands - but this did not upset us, but, on the contrary, delighted us: well, a real rotten stump! It crumbles right before our eyes, but what, it should!

Crumbness is achieved due to the large amount of baking powder (or soda) in the dough, which reacts with a fermented milk product - you can knead the dough not only on kefir, but also on fermented milk sourdough (like me), ryazhenka or yogurt. But I don’t know how yogurt will behave: they are different in their bacterial composition.

In the process of searching for a recipe, I found out that, in addition to the classic one, there is another option - a cake made from rolls with dried fruits, which is also very interesting and beautiful. And there are also cakes "Stumps"! They have been on the site for a long time - come see and try. And there is also a third recipe for the "Stump" cake - biscuit, very interesting in terms of technology - the cake is smeared with cream and rolled up. But that's for next time, but now let's bake the classic Rotten Stump cake.

I baked in the form of 17 cm, the cakes turned out to be small in diameter, but high - that’s the thing for hemp, because it is narrow and high. If you take the shape a little more, the cakes will turn out to be smaller in height, but they will bake faster.

Ingredients:

For the form 17-20 cm:
For test:

• 2 large eggs;
• 150 g of sugar;
• 1 cup (200 ml) kefir;
• 1 cup (200 ml) jam;
• 1.5-2 cups (200-260 g) flour;
• 1 bag of baking powder, designed for 0.5 kg of flour (I have 18 g, this is not much, I checked).

Instead of baking powder, you can take baking soda - 2 teaspoons.
Jam is suitable for any pitted. To make the cake not too sweet, it is better to choose jam with sourness: cherry, plum. Our cake - in half on blackcurrant and blueberry jam. Since the berries were not boiled, but simply rubbed with sugar, which is why it was quite sweet (2 parts of sugar per 1 part of berries), I reduced the amount of sugar in the dough from 1 cup (200 g) to 150 g.
And I kneaded the dough in half on flour and spelled wheat, it has a suitable beige color and is very useful.

For cream:

• 350 ml of thick sour cream;
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste)

In the original, 500 ml of sour cream was required, and it had to be kept in gauze to get a thicker cream. I decided to simplify the task, I took a 380-ml pack of sour cream with a fat content of 21%, cooled it in the refrigerator for an hour, and then just beat it well with powdered sugar. The cream turned out to be normal in density - and the sprinkling keeps well, and the cakes are perfectly soaked. And a little more sour cream left in the pack.

For decoration:

• A handful of shelled walnuts;
• Sweet straw;
• Chocolate coins.

How to bake:

Turn on the oven to preheat to 200C.

Beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy - about 2 minutes with a mixer at low speed, until the mass increases by 2-3 times and becomes airy.

Pour the jam into the lush mass, mix lightly.

And then - kefir. Attention! If you cook with soda, then you need to stir it in kefir, and then pour it into the dough. I have not tried - I prefer to use baking powder.

Mix or beat a little - that's what an interesting dough turns out, lilac!

Now gradually sift the flour mixed with the baking powder.

Depending on the flour, you may need a little less or more. Be guided by the dough: it should turn out not very thick, but slowly pouring - a little thicker than on pancakes.

We cover the bottom of the form with parchment, grease the form with butter and pour half the dough. The other half is left for the second cake. We put on the middle tier of the oven and bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes. The finished cake will turn brown-ruddy on top, and the stick will stop tying in the dough during the test and will remain dry. So that the cake is baked inside and at the same time does not burn from below (if the oven is with lower heating), place a heat-resistant container of water on its bottom.

We take out the finished cake from the mold and cool on the wire rack. We bake the second one in the same way.

When the cakes have cooled slightly, carefully cut each into two. Here is the structure of the cakes.

And the second one turned out to be even looser than the first one - either because the dough stood before baking, or because I was in a hurry and cut the second cake in a warm form.

We prepare the cream by whipping thick sour cream with powdered sugar.

This is the thickness of the sour cream.

To make the cake more moist, you can soak the cakes with jam diluted with boiled water.

We collect the cake, spreading the cakes with sour cream. Wait for them to cool to room temperature or a slightly warm state, so that when spread on a hot cake, the sour cream does not begin to melt.

We also coat the cake with cream on top and sides.

How to decorate a rotten stump cake:

For decor, I crushed walnuts with a rolling pin and sprinkled them on the sides and top of the cake.

I really liked the layout. seen on the Internet: honey mushrooms from "Mushrooms" cookies nestled around the hemp. Since I couldn't find them in the store, I decided to make them myself. I took some sweet straws and chocolate coins. Having melted 20 grams of chocolate, I glued the "legs" of the straws to the chocolate hats with melted chocolate. It turned out cool mushrooms, which we picturesquely stuck around the "stump".

We didn’t even let the cake soak - evening was coming, and I wanted to take a photo while it was light. And then - hurray! - amazingly beautiful red-gold rays of the sun, reflected from the windows of the house opposite, looked through the window, and we happily arranged a quick photo shoot for our cake.

And here are the frogs in the clearing near the stump sat down!

Hello dear readers.

I found this recipe on the Internet, it seemed curious, and I decided to bake it. The cake turned out amazing: with different tastes, not very sweet, and very beautiful in appearance, especially in the context.

Appreciated by my men, husband and son - my most severe and picky critics. And they won't hide the truth. It would be tasteless, they would say so directly. The only remark from them is that there was not enough sourness in the cake. I thought so too, so next time I'll try to add candied fruits to the filling. But first things first!

Recipe absolutely simple, easy to prepare. Products for the cake are quite affordable.

So, for the Rotten Stump cake you will need:

Sour cream - 1l

Sugar - 2 - 2.5 cups

Egg - 1 pc.

Soda or baking powder

Flour - 3 cups

Prunes, dried apricots, raisins, nuts - 100 - 150 gr.

Cooking cake "Rotten stump"

To start dried fruits pour hot water, let them steam.

While the “process” of steaming lasts (15-20 minutes), we prepare the dough.

For test:

Egg lightly beat with sugar(2/3 cup) and salt(I always add a pinch of salt to the dough, even if it is not mentioned in the recipe).

Then add 1 cup sour cream. We mix.

Gradually add flour and soda or baking powder. If you add soda, 0.5 teaspoon will be enough.

We knead the dough. The dough is soft, elastic, tender. Let's set it aside for now and get back to the filling.

Filling:

nuts and steamed dried fruits individually I scroll in a meat grinder or in a combine.

I combined nuts with prunes.

Mixtures of dried fruits turned out to be thick, so I add a little hot water, mix well.

The resulting mixture of dried fruits should resemble thick jam.

I note that for some reason I didn’t have enough filling, maybe I spread it with a thick layer, I don’t know. So I made more poppy seed filling. They say that for the filling, poppy seeds need to be boiled in hot milk for about 20 minutes. But I didn’t have time for this, because. the filling for the cake unexpectedly ended, and I still had two cakes left. Therefore, I poured poppy seeds with boiling water and - in the microwave for a couple of minutes. She decanted water, added sugar, a little bit, and that's it!

Divide the dough into 8 pieces:

Roll out each piece into a thin cake.

We spread tortilla stuffed with dried fruits.

We roll into a roll.

I had enough fruit filling for six rolls, so I made two rolls with poppy seeds.

Eh, I had to make one roll with poppy seeds, and the other with sour candied fruit. What a pity that I completely forgot that I have been standing in the refrigerator for a long time and waiting in the wings a jar of candied lemons! Someday I'll tell you how to make candied fruits yourself. 😉

... I send the rolls to a preheated oven with a temperature 180 degrees. Bake until golden brown

While the rolls are "sitting" in the oven, I make cream. ABOUT Beat the remaining sour cream with sugar (one glass):

I cut the finished rolls into pieces while still hot. The recipe said that the pieces should be 3 cm wide. But I made 1.5 - 2 cm:

Now I take a form with a removable bottom or a bowl. I line it with foil.

At the bottom I pour three spoons of cream and lay the pieces in layers.

I water generously cream each layer.

I put the cake in the fridge overnight. On top of the cake, I put a plate, on it - a load (a jar of milk), so that the cream would better soak all the pieces.

In the morning I turn the form over, take out the cake, this is what happened:

It remains to decorate the cake.

Fantasy works well for my daughter. Oh what cakes she bakes!!! Very unusual shape! Look here:

Fiction! HOW she does it, I don't know! Maybe I'll persuade her to reveal her secrets in My village. Then you will admire what cakes can be, and maybe be inspired by culinary creativity ...

But my daughter is not around, my imagination is tight. And I went the easy way. I made frosting.

For chocolate glaze:

3 art. spoons of sugar

2 tbsp. cocoa spoons

1 st. a spoonful of milk

Mix sugar, cocoa and milk in a saucepan. At first it will seem to you that there is not enough liquid, the mixture is too dry. But it's not. Heat slowly in a saucepan, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Pour hot icing over cake.

That's all, ROTTEN STUMP ready!!!

Mmm!!! UNION!

Here it is, a ROTTEN STUMP, in a section:

By the way, I just thought that for more "rottenness" of the stump cake, you can take the most different nuts: walnut, peanut, hazelnut, others.

Poppy in the recipe for which I baked the cake, it was not mentioned. But I used it, and it fits very well into the recipe.

Well candied fruit! Next time I will definitely put candied fruits to give a little sourness and piquancy!

You can spread one cake with currant jam for sourness, or I think it will be good too.

So I advise, dear hostesses, to try to bake this wonderful cake!

If you take photos of your recipe, feel free to post them! Especially for this, we have "", where you can tell and show everything (post a photo).

Previously, there was such a tradition - to cook jam from different berries, which were only found in the garden. Not even a tradition, but it was simply a way to keep all the berries until the next season. Out of habit, my grandmother's entire cellar was full of various jams. "Where to use it?" I asked.And I found a gorgeous rotten stump cake.

He got his name from his fluffiness and softness, just like an old stump. The recipe is very simple and includes simple products. Usually it is cooked on kefir and with jam. But if kefir is not available, you can change the recipe and put sour cream. Even homemade well-sour milk into a dense mass is also suitable.

Classic "stump"

• Kefir or sour cream - a glass with a capacity of 250 ml
• Sugar - 200 g
• Apricot jam or jam (any other to your taste) - 250 g
• Medium chicken eggs - 2 pcs.
• Baking soda - 1 tsp
• Sour cream (for cream) - 500 g
• Sugar (for cream) - 50 g
• Wheat flour - 2 cups

1. For the dough, beat the eggs with sugar. Then add jam. Separately, add quick-cooked (this is important) baking soda to kefir. Then we mix everything together. Next, stir in the sifted flour.
2. Cake baking. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Bake individually for 20-25 minutes at medium heat. Cut each cake with a thread into two.
3. Let's prepare the cream. Beat sour cream with sugar until fluffy.
4. Collecting cake. Fill each cake generously with cream. Lubricate the top and sides too. Everything is ready! You can eat!

The recipe does not imply time for insisting, only if it is allowed to stand for at least twenty to thirty minutes, it will literally melt. Here is a cutaway photo. It may not be visible in the photo, but the cakes are literally fluffy, like aerated chocolate. This effect was given by kefir with soda.

The next recipe is festive! The photo shows that the technology for its preparation is somewhat different, since it is necessary to achieve such a pattern. Also, the difference is that here you need to use three types of filling - two types of jam (or tight jam) and nuts.

Festive "stump"

• Liquid sour cream (10 - 15%) - 250 g
• Sugar - two glasses
• Large chicken egg - 1 pc. plus yolk
• Soda quenched with vinegar - 0.5 tsp
• Wheat flour - about 750 - 800 gr.
• 150 g of thick jam or jam of two different types, different in color (apricot and cherry for example)
• Walnuts - 200 g
• Fatty sour cream - 750 g

1. Roast the nuts. Peel them off. In a food processor or blender, grind nuts with half a glass of sugar and yolk. The first filling is ready. The other two don't need cooking.
2. Beat one egg and half a glass of sugar. Add flour and baking soda. Gradually add the sifted flour. Knead the dough that does not stick to your hands. We divide it into eight parts.
3. We roll each part of the dough into a rectangle and lay out the fillings, each on its own rectangle. It is necessary not to reach a little to the edge, so that it does not flow out and does not burn during baking. Roll up the rolls and bake until light golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Beat sour cream with a glass of sugar in a fluffy mass.
5. Cut the cooled rolls into a thickness of one and a half centimeters.
6. Take a saucepan or deep bowl. At the bottom of the bowl lay out the rolls with different fillings in turn. Each layer is thickly filled with cream. Put in the cold insist.
7. Before serving, remove the cake from the bowl and brush with the remaining sour cream. Dessert can be decorated with nuts and dried fruits.

This recipe, of course, is different from the simple one on kefir. But even in the photo you can see its advantages. The vertical slices of rolls really look like leftover wood. A variety of fillings make the taste of the cake rich.

If the first recipe is too simple for you, and the second is too intricate. Then try to take the dough from the first one, and layer it with custard cream.

custard recipe

• Milk - 1 cup
• Sugar - 0.5 cups
• White flour - 1 tsp
• Butter - 50 g
• Chicken egg - 1 pc.

1. Beat sugar with egg. Boil milk.
2. Carefully pour the beaten egg with sugar into the boiling milk.
3. Dilute the flour separately in milk and pour into the milk-egg mixture. Cook the cream, stirring thoroughly until thickened.
4. Remove from fire. Add oil and beat well.

As you can see, even the simplest cake can be made different. Try it and enjoy the results!

Pie with jam "Rotten Stump" is very easy to prepare. Therefore, hostesses often remember this recipe when unplanned guests are already on the doorstep. But don't underestimate this popular dessert. All you have to do is add another jam, and it will be a completely new and original cake!

The beauty of this recipe is that almost any jam can be used to make a dessert. It all depends on what kind of pastry you prefer: sour or sweeter. The traditional recipe involves the addition of dark-colored jam: plum, currant, blueberry. The cake will turn out dark and will live up to its name, outwardly resembling an old stump.

But every housewife brings something of her own to every recipe. You can take raspberry, strawberry, apple, pear or apricot jam. You can also mix several types of fruit jam. From this, "Rotten Stump" will be even tastier. In addition, the recipe is unlikely to be repeated by anyone!

Required Ingredients

For the test

• wheat flour - 2 cups;
• kefir 2.5% - 1 cup;
• chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• sugar - 1 cup;
• jam - 1 cup;
• sunflower oil - 3 tbsp. l.;
• baking soda - 2 tsp;
• vanillin - 10 g;
• butter - 20 g;
• semolina - 1 handful.

For decoration

• sour cream 20% - 2 cups;
• powdered sugar - 4 tbsp. l.;
• raisins or gingerbread crumbs - 100 g.

Cooking process

Step 1. Let's start with the cream for decorating the cake. Mix sour cream and powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer for a couple of minutes. Don't worry if the cream is too runny. In this case, just put it in the fridge for a while to thicken it up.

Step 2. Now you can start preparing the dough. Beat eggs and sugar well with a mixer until foamy.

Step 3. In the resulting foamy liquid, add wheat flour, vanillin and baking soda. There is no need to extinguish the soda! This will make kefir, which we will add a little later. Mix everything thoroughly with a mixer.

Step 4. Add your favorite jam and mix everything again until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.

Step 5. After that, add a glass of kefir to the resulting mass. Stir again with a mixer. The dough should turn out a little thick, like low-fat sour cream.

Step 6. Add sunflower oil to the dough and mix it with a wooden spoon.

Step 7. So that the finished cake can be easily removed from the mold, grease it with butter and lightly sprinkle with semolina. After that, pour the prepared mass into a baking dish (23-24 cm in diameter). Send the mold to the oven and bake the cake at a temperature of 180-200 ° C. Cooking time - 40-60 minutes.

You can also bake a rotten stump pie with jam in a slow cooker. To do this, also grease the form with oil, but you can already sprinkle with flour. Now pour the dough into the mold. Cook the pie in the multicooker in the “Baking” mode for about 60-65 minutes until done.

Pie Rotten Stump on kefir: an excellent sweet pie

The Rotten Stump pie got its name because of its somewhat unusual appearance: dark, porous, with a greenish-brown tint.

4. Lightly oil the baking dish and pour the prepared dough.
5. Bake a cake with jam in the oven for 30-40 minutes at a set temperature of 200 degrees.

You can immediately serve the finished pie to the table, or you can slightly change the recipe by adding sour cream. To do this, thoroughly beat 0.5 l of sour cream with sugar, cut the cake into 2 cakes and spread cream in the middle. Then put it in the refrigerator for literally a couple of hours so that it is thoroughly soaked - the festive version of the Rotten Stump dessert is ready.

The other day I bought kefir, threw it in the refrigerator and forgot. When I remembered for him it was too late - the expiration date had passed. It’s a pity to pour it out, but it will go into the dough. I propose to rectify the situation and bake a very tasty cake. So: add eggs to sugar.

Whisk very well. The sugar needs to dissolve.

Pour flour and soda (you don’t need to extinguish it, since kefir will extinguish it).

Stir with a mixer.
