I will not hide, the biscuit according to this recipe, which I will share today, is my favorite. It turns out to be tall, lush, when cooking it, you do not need to divide the eggs into whites and yolks (as in), and the result is always amazing - fluffy airy cakes that can be used for a cake or eaten just like that, with milk.
Bit by bit, I piled up tips, secrets and secrets of respected confectioners, repeated after them, studied, tested, tried and ... still achieved the desired goal. A fluffy sponge cake for 4 eggs, which always turns out - this is my discovery, which I will share today!
The biscuit dough kneads very quickly, so immediately turn on the oven to heat up to 180 C.
We break the eggs into a wide bowl, in which the dough will be kneaded. Let me remind you that we will beat both yolks and whites together. But if you have a weak mixer or no mixer at all, do this: first, turn the whites into a fluffy foam with half the amount of granulated sugar according to the recipe, and then beat the yolks with the remaining sugar. Stir in the protein foam at the very end (after adding flour).
So, all four eggs are driven in, turn on the mixer first at low speed, then gradually increase to maximum. Beat until the eggs become fluffy foam - and only then add granulated sugar in a thin stream.
If your hand has not yet been trained to add in a thin stream, and you are afraid that it will break off and all the sugar will be added at once, it is better to take a tablespoon, place a container with sugar next to it and add with a tablespoon.
You do not need to turn off the mixer while adding sugar, since granulated sugar should not settle to the bottom.
Evenly distributed in the egg mass, sugar helps it turn into a thick, light foam. Look at the photo how the egg-sugar mass should lighten.
Now add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour and sift into a bowl of dough. Before sifting, be sure to take a spatula and stir the flour with baking powder. How evenly the baking powder is distributed in the flour will determine whether the biscuit rises evenly in the oven.
You need to be careful with flour - if you add too much of it, the biscuit will be too dense in the finished form.
Add flour in portions, in three approaches. Each time you add flour, stir the ingredients in an upward motion, as if lifting the dough in layers. We do not use a mixer when adding flour, only a spatula or a wooden spoon.
Now pour the dough into a prepared form (you need to grease with a piece of butter and sprinkle with flour, shake off the excess). Tap the table several times to distribute the dough evenly from the middle to the edges. You can twist the shape clockwise with a sharp movement for the same purpose.
My mold has a diameter of 18 cm, the height of the finished biscuit is 6-6.5 cm.
The biscuit is baked in the oven for 30-35 minutes at a temperature of 180 C. As a rule, all ovens differ in their power, so be guided by a ruddy color and a dry wooden stick.
It is very important to preheat the oven! The dough contains a lot of air and, in order to keep it inside, the sides of the sponge cake should begin to bake immediately. If you put the baking dish in a cold oven, air bubbles will have time to escape from the dough, the baked goods will turn out to be low and dense.
The surface of the finished biscuit should spring back when you press it with your finger. If the biscuit "falls through", the hole from the finger is not restored, it means that the biscuit is not ready yet, it needs additional time. The oven must not be opened for the first 25 minutes, otherwise the baked goods will settle.
Cool the finished biscuit in the mold for 10 minutes, then drag it along the walls of the mold (circumscribe a circle) to make the cake easier to separate from the split mold, release the biscuit and turn it upside down onto the wire rack. Thus, if a bump forms on top of the baking, it will smooth out, and all the cakes in the finished cake will be smooth and beautiful.
After complete cooling on the wire rack, the biscuit should be wrapped with cling film and put in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. Thanks to this tricky trick, the remaining moisture from the biscuit does not come out, but is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the baking, making the biscuit juicier.
Despite cooling in a film, the biscuit according to this recipe turns out to be quite dry (unlike, for example, those that contain oil, such as). To assemble the cake, it is better to soak it with canned peach syrup or sugar syrup (cook the amount you need, based on the proportion of 6 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons of sugar).
A sponge cake with a diameter of 18 cm can be easily cut into three cakes (but today I decided to cut into two). Make a layer of your favorite cream, let it soak a little, and - the homemade cake is ready for tea!
In decorating the cake, I used homemade apple marshmallows, which I made myself, as well as marshmallows and pastry sprinkles. The cake turned out to be tender and very tasty.
Pieces of canned peaches are added to the layer of cake between the lush biscuits.
Biscuit crumb goes well with sour cream, butter creams and fruits.
More recently, our site has a YouTube channel. And the first video I decided to shoot was about how to make a fluffy biscuit. I believe that this recipe is the basic one for making many desserts!

Sponge cake... Sponge cake is a fairly common and one of the most popular types of cakes with a long history. Such cakes are prepared on the basis of biscuit cakes, and various creams, glazes and fillings are used to impregnate and decorate them.
Biscuit dough is prepared quickly enough, so all products for its preparation must be prepared in advance. In order to prepare a biscuit dough according to the basic recipe, flour is added to eggs beaten with sugar, after which the dough is kneaded and cakes are baked from it. Then the finished cakes are cut, soaked in syrup or coated with cream and decorated. And to add splendor to the biscuits, part of the flour can be replaced with starch. Can be added to the dough and pieces of fruit or nuts.
In order for the biscuit to turn out with a bang, the eggs for beating must be chilled, and the container in which they will be beaten should be cold, dry and clean. And before starting to prepare the dough, flour should be sieved at least three times - this will saturate it with oxygen and make the dough fluffy and soft. As for sugar, it is quite acceptable to grind it into powder - then it will be much easier to beat eggs.
The classic filling for biscuit cakes is considered to be jam or jams, and a huge number of a wide variety of creams allows you to experiment with their tastes: a biscuit cake with condensed milk cream will be very sweet and at the same time a little dry, a biscuit cake with sour cream turns out to be surprisingly tender and soft, and a sponge cake with whipped cream is always unusually airy. It goes well with biscuits and butter, cottage cheese or custard.
Very tasty biscuit cakes are obtained with fruits: with strawberries, cherries or fruit jelly. A banana layer will also be an excellent solution - it will help make the biscuit cake softer and more tender. And biscuit cakes with the addition of cocoa or chocolate boast an extremely rich taste.
When baking biscuits, it is necessary to observe the temperature regime, which should be in the range from one hundred and eighty to two hundred degrees. If the temperature exceeds these values, the surface of the biscuit may become covered with a crust that prevents moisture evaporation, and the finished biscuit will certainly settle after cooling. Also, so that the biscuit does not settle and thicken, it is strictly forbidden to shake the form with the dough. And if you don't want to bake biscuit cakes on your own, you can always buy ready-made cakes in the store. Even children can make a cake from such cakes!

A sponge cake is one of the simplest and most affordable bases for such a dessert. The versatility of the cakes allows you to prepare a wide variety of cakes from them, using a lot of types of not only creams, but also fillings that are added to the dough during its preparation.

- Allow the eggs to cool well in the refrigerator before cooking the biscuit;
- When you prepare a biscuit, be sure to beat the egg whites and yolks separately from each other;

Oh guys ... Hello everyone! I myself do not believe that I am writing this, but I have finally matured to this article ... For many months I have been hatching this idea.: to collect, as they say, to a heap of all the recipes of my favorite (and not only my own) creams, which I use for biscuit cakes.
And so, thanks to your numerous requests and entreaties))), I still decided to flaunt all the ins and outs of their cakes.
Sponge cake cream is a rather relative concept. Of course, the recipes that I will outline below can be used not only in combination with a biscuit, but also in other cakes, cupcakes, tartlets, eclairs and other desserts.
And before proceeding with the recipes, I will tell you something very important that you hardly guessed about. Since many of today's recipes feature cream, here's a secret trick from baking queen Martha Stewart:
If you accidentally whip the cream and see that it has already started to curl, just add a couple of tablespoons of cold liquid cream and stir gently. This will return the cream to the desired state.
So let's get started. There is a lot of material today. I promise it will be interesting.
I'll start with the freshest one that I tasted just today.
This is a very delicate cream with a refined, non-challenging taste and vanilla aroma.
Personally, this cream in finished form reminded me very much of mascarpone cheese.
If desired, this cream is combined with fruit or berry puree. Or you can add a handful of chocolate drops.
Do not whip the cream too hard, or it may curdle when stirring with the ricotta.
Perhaps this cream is the most frequent guest in my house. I use it not only for biscuit cakes, but also for. And - this is generally space!
I change the fruity component of this cream and each time I get a completely new taste and color. But even without extraneous additives, cream with mascarpone superb.
The extra cooling will help us whip the cream much faster.
Put the cream in the refrigerator before assembling the cake.
Put the cream in the refrigerator before assembling the cake.
This cream is one of my favorite oil creams. He comes from the Soviet Union. Everyone remembers the Prague cake? Here, it was with this cream that our iconic Soviet cake was prepared.
Be careful not to bring the mixture to a boil, otherwise the yolks will cook.
Do not refrigerate such a cream before use.
Another recipe with our favorite condensed milk, but this time with boiled and with the addition of whipped cream, which makes the cream more airy and light. I really liked this alternative to heavy oil cream.
If you do not plan to work with the cream right away, then refrigerate it before using it.
It pairs perfectly with a juicy soaked biscuit. If you prefer buttercreams in biscuits, then this recipe is for you.
Charlotte's cream does not need to be cooled before assembling the cake.
Cream for lovers of cottage cheese. Personally, I do not particularly read curd cakes. I like the more sophisticated taste of ricotta. But knowing about the tender feelings for cottage cheese of many of you, I publish the following recipe.
If you have wet curd, weigh it in cheesecloth for a few hours.
For a sponge cake, we need a thick sour cream that will keep its shape well. Otherwise, the cream will saturate the biscuit and the cake will turn into porridge.
Therefore, for sour cream, we need the fattest sour cream.
Put the cream in the refrigerator before assembling the cake.
This recipe is an accidental invention of mine. But despite this, the cream turned out to be very tasty and unusual. The consistency is approximately like sour cream.
If you want a more chocolatey flavor or a firmer cream, double the amount of chocolate.
I learned this recipe at pastry courses. Although I can already be wrong - it was a long time ago. But the most important thing is that this cream is very tasty and rather unusual.
The cream is ready to use.
Cream Diplomat is a combination of custard and whipped cream. Especially good in chocolate. But vanilla with fruit or berries is also very good.
You can add any fruit or berries you wish to the ready-made Diplomat cream. And the cream is ready to use.
Perhaps the simplest and most affordable cream of all.
After cooling, the cream is ready to assemble the cake.
Another economical cream, but in certain combinations it is incomparable. In this recipe, we brew egg whites, so you can not be afraid of any bacteria. Protein cream goes well with sour fillings. For example, you can layer your sponge cake and coat the cake with this cream.
The only difficulty is for this recipe a kitchen thermometer is required ( can be bought here).
It is important not to overbeat the proteins, otherwise the mass will begin to fall off. After the whites have whipped into a stable fluffy meringue, reduce the mixer speed to medium.
For true connoisseurs of chocolate - the richest chocolate cream.
After that, the ganache is ready to use. You no longer need to stir or whip it.
One of my last recipes for a cream with an amazing taste.
The cream is stored in the refrigerator until the cake is assembled.
I think that's enough for a start. If you have any wishes, write in the comments. We will supplement.
I will note that recipes nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as well as 13, 14 and 15 suitable for both filling and leveling biscuit cakes. In other cases, for leveling and finishing, it is better to use whipped cream with a spoonful of powdered sugar.
Oh, and I will also add that almost all of today's recipes are not very sweet and are designed for biscuits soaked in sweet syrup. Please bear this in mind.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Good luck, love and patience.
