Spartak cake - general principles of preparation
The technology of kneading dough for Spartak is similar to that used for making honey. Sugar with butter and honey is heated in a water bath, then the remaining ingredients, including cocoa, are added. Cakes are rolled out, baked one at a time. Then they cool down, they are oiled.
What creams can I use:
• custard;
• chocolate;
• creamy;
• sour cream.
In fact, there are no clear rules. You can smear cakes with any kind of cream, but it should not be enough. Spartak absorbs the layer well, becomes gentle and melting in the mouth. For decoration, crushed cakes, glaze are usually used. For the holiday, you can "dress up" Spartak with patterns and flowers made of cream, covered with mastic.
