Praline cake

Description

It often happens like this: we prepare the New Year's table with our own hands from start to finish, but we prefer to buy dessert in the store. But in vain. The birthday cake is important.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the cream ahead of time. To do this, mix cream with powdered sugar, add vanilla sticks cut lengthwise, put on fire, bring to a boil. Remove vanilla sticks. Add chocolate and nougat. Boil 10 min. with constant stirring. Remove from fire, let cool. Add yolks, mix. Allow the cream to cool and put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.

Step 2

Before use, remove the cream from the refrigerator and beat with a mixer. The cream should become a little lighter. If the cream is very hardened, it can be slightly flooded in a water bath. To prepare the biscuit, beat eggs with sugar, add flour and beat until smooth. Put the resulting dough in a thin layer on a greased large baking sheet and bake in the oven, preheated to 210 # 186 C, 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

From the finished biscuit, cut out cakes of the required shape. Biscuit can be baked in a form with high sides at the same temperature, but for 40-60 minutes. For syrup, mix sugar with 100 ml of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and pour in the cognac. Using a brush, soak the cakes with syrup, coat with cream.

Step 4

Assemble the cake, align the sides and top. Cool until the cream hardens by placing in the refrigerator for 6 hours or in the freezer for 2 hours.

Step 5

The finished cake can be covered with sugar paste, marzipan, sprinkled with biscuit crumbs or coconut flakes, and then decorated as your imagination requires.
