Cake with condensed milk - general principles and methods of preparation
Each of us knows and loves condensed milk since childhood. Its delicious taste can brighten up any confectionery (and not only) product. Remember how in childhood we consumed our favorite treat with pancakes, pancakes, or just like that - with tea for both cheeks. Even now, after many years, we continue to pay tribute to the representative of the sweet world, albeit not in pure form (but someone in pure form).
Condensed milk will always inspire confectioners for new inventions, because it is universal and combines with almost any ingredients, giving the dish a rich unique taste. Adding condensed milk to cakes, dough or cream is a very competent and successful move. The number of such recipes is impressive - there are hundreds, maybe thousands. Many famous and popular cakes include condensed milk. And how many "born" analogues - just do not count!
However, it should be remembered that using pure condensed milk as a cream is somewhat problematic, therefore it is often mixed or whipped with soft butter with a soft consistency. Custard made according to such a simple recipe is universal and is most often used in cooking. It should also be noted that it is advisable to soak the cakes with cream-condensed cream a few hours before serving, at least 6, and preferably 24 hours.
Cakes with condensed milk can be prepared from any type of cake - in all cases, the result will be amazing. By the way, speaking of cakes, we immediately make a reservation: the dough for them should not be too sweet, otherwise you risk getting too sugary cake on the way out.

What must be available for making such cakes? Naturally, in the first place - this is condensed milk. Culinary experts advise us to use varieties corresponding to GOST: Extra, Alekseevskoe, Dairy country, etc.
