Cooking method

• The recipe is not according to GOST, but as it is now customary to write according to TU. This is the very TU I found on

Note

This is my first time in this section. Why did I come here with a crooked and poorly decorated cake? Well patamushta the cake is actually delicious. I looked, but did not find the recipe for this cake on HP. And such a nondescript cake is solely due to the lack of experience in making cakes. I will try, learn and maybe someday I will turn out beautiful
I accept any criticism

[celfh]

celfh what criticism? How alive !!!! 🔗 Taking off my hat!

Something I do not observe curvature: :) ​​Wonderful cake, drooling straight

Or excessive modesty or successful shooting, in any case tasty and very high in calories.

[celfh]

celfh the cake looks very appetizing
I sit, watch and die, passion, as I wanted a piece, with a taste from childhood

Girls, thank you, my dears. I do not suffer from modesty.
In fact, you are not looking at the pieces of the cake, but at the cake itself: a poorly aligned surface, heaped corners, "drunken" framing.
In general, it is very pleasant that the cake still resembles the original.
The calorie content is lethal, it's true. But this happens to me, I really want this, and not something else

[celfh]

celfh, believe me, delicious and beautiful cake, sometimes there are two different things. So don't worry !!! The cake is very appetizing!
Well, if you really want to be so beautiful, then you know where they can help with this

But here is meticulous ... spoiled, that's why I pester:
How thick should the cakes be?

If you remove the jam (I have said more than once that "varennya" and cakes are not very compatible concepts for me, then I hope that I will get something that resembles our "Special" cake. It was sold earlier in all pastry shops, by weight. For a long time about it longing)

[artisan]

Oksana, the cake is about 1.5 cm thick. Well, as it should be, thinner around the edges
artisan, I often look at your cake themes, beautifully.
But I don’t remember something special. To be honest, I didn’t buy cakes very often. And I loved most of all baskets with cream. The most delicious baskets were sold in a small eatery where the men drank vodka. So I sent my husband there for cakes.

[celfh]

celfh
Thanks a lot for the cake. made for her husband's birthday with a lower tier. Very sandy, delicate cake. And the cream is delicious.

and a cutter.

It turned out 5 cakes. There was not enough cream for decorations and coating of hogs, I had to make butter and custard on pudding

[tsvika]

tsvika, oh, how beautiful! And your family is beautiful !!!! I am very glad that the cake was a success!

[celfh]

celfh , Tanechka, and I liked your cake, I'll bookmark it, you look when I'll ripen .... I just can't tune in to biscuits. It seems to be not very tricky here.

Thank you very much for the recipe! I want to make everything Leningradsky for a long time, but I could not find the recipe. I'll do it for the next holiday.

Let's wait for the holiday

[an ordinary day will turn into a holiday]

And if you just bake a cake then an ordinary day will turn into a holiday

[an ordinary day will turn into a holiday]

And if you just bake a cake then an ordinary day will turn into a holiday

especially such a delicious cake.
All who ate it said one to one Leningrad. The dough is tender, crumbly ...

It has always been my favorite cake, and today I made it.Three times and all from the amount of this recipe. Each cake had 5 layers. At first, when I prepared the dough and put three balls of dough in the refrigerator, I did not realize that these are the future three pieces of Leningrad.
Two are gone already. As a family, we played three bears notoriously, and only the last one survived.

And as the photos promised. We weigh 623 grams each.


In conclusion, I will say that the cake, unlike the store one, turns out to be very satisfying. When I go to the store, I read the composition of the substitutes in it, but for now I can say for sure that if I could manage the store in two times (a large square one), then “my Leningrad” piece the size of three matchboxes delivers satisfying peace of mind.

[Shurshun]

Shurshun, I'm immensely glad that your dream has come true!

[Shurshun]

Shurshun,
Sasha, you paint everything so appetizing, it will be necessary to do it!

I cooked condensed milk myself

Can you give the details?

celfh,
Eh, probably on the weekend I'll make up my mind - my husband has been asking for a long time, but I'm still somehow afraid

Eh, probably on the weekend I'll make up my mind - my husband has been asking for a long time, but I'm still somehow afraid

Helen, be sure to make up your mind, the cake is really delicious.

[celfh]

celfh,
Tanya, my husband says that this is his favorite childhood cake. Recently I drove past the Bolshevik factory (my mother always sent me there for fresh cakes, by the way, we loved Abrikotin and the Fairy Tale), bought Leningradsky and couldn't eat - live margarine So I will definitely do it!

So I will definitely do it!

Waiting for
Eh, if my husband had not been put on a diet, I would have done it too

[Shurshun]

Shurshun,
Sasha, you paint everything so appetizing, it will be necessary to do it! Can you give the details?

Hi. Of course you can. I cooked myself, not in the sense that I myself, but cooked purchased condensed milk in a saucepan on the stove. Cooked for 3 hours. The taste is amazing. I bought two cans of condensed milk, two and boiled it, since I have never been a sweet tooth, which was confirmed when I ate one of them before the Leningradskys were born. By the way, the first one broke down at the moment of fear that "ohhoho, I have never made shortbread dough anyway, and here it is not in the oven, but in the airfryer, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll eat it anyway, but what a shame .." mine, I was shaking for two weeks before making the cakes))) And I understand this concern very well. Therefore, even when I got a cream worth ... very, you know, standing with its stable peaks, the fear did not go away, because I was most worried about baking cakes in the airfryer. my oven is still broken, and they demand 15,000 rubles for the inner glass. In general, it is clear with the oven, it has its own story, it is dependent, without it my white glass ceramics will not plow, etc. I think I am telling everything in detail, right?
I bought condensed milk from the GOST, blue wrapper with rhombuses. The main composition in any dried milk: whole cow's milk, sugar. Everything, nothing else should be there.

[Shurshun]

Shurshun,
And for some reason I am afraid to cook it (although I used to cook it) - the boy at the institute of the bank in the hostel rushed and everything got on his face

Your cake came out gorgeous - I would snatch a piece

For a thousand years I haven't cooked condensed milk, either read it somewhere, or saw from the zombie box that it is harmful to cook it yourself, like oxidation of a can, harmful substances, etc. And I've been buying boiled one since then. Like, well, if it's harmful, then you don't need to cook. But then I decided to cook because of the realization of dreams. I put two cans in a saucepan, put them on the stove at division 3.5 (everything boils on it, but does not boil away), and with peace of mind left the stove for three hours. My stove works amazingly, Siemens kiss my own in the camphor)) So everything is simple. The taste is softer than that of the purchased one at times, dozens of times. It's worth it to cook it yourself. In addition, against the background of what is sold in the store ... Read the composition of boiled condensed milk. horror. I will no longer buy boiled ones. In my opinion, the most important thing is that it is covered with water. I pour more than necessary and am sure that the can will NOT be exposed. She boils herself on a trunichka ...for Leningradsky ... and the eyes at these words are in a dreamy bunch))

Wikipedia says: "In Soviet times, caramelized (boiled) condensed milk with sugar was not industrially produced, but was prepared at home by additional boiling of ordinary condensed milk (right in a jar on a water bath for several (usually 2 - 3) hours). When the water boils off, the cans usually explode. "

Shurshun,

I have three of them.Parents are back again playing bees in the kitchen, swarming over the last one))

[Shurshun]

Shurshun, , well done! And I'm still tuning in. Scary, like that! After your story, I’ll move on to action. I cooked condensed milk for the last time in the 80s. Then, such a form was for baking nuts, and so, I stuffed the nuts with boiled condensed milk. Well, and the cake for men's day

Dr. Lena, from childhood I remember a frying pan with mushrooms and nuts for filling them with then boiled condensed milk. We bought such a frying pan, and a year later I changed the stove to glass ceramics .. Now only for giving on a gas stove to do .. but is it intended for a gas stove ?? You need to try. But who has already done it?

[Shurshun,]

Shurshun, so I used to make nuts on the gas stove, there was also a cookie mold, and also with squirrels, cones. On low heat. Everything worked out. And now, also glass ceramics. I will definitely try the cake, and then I will report

It's great what you can do on gas. Although dad laughs at me and says: "If you, Sasha, would not have a situation at the dacha" hello bees, hello wasps "
At first I also jumped for joy, found this skillet, hugged me, danced a jig with it. And I remembered that at the dacha it was electricity ... What kind of oil I was thinking - no one understands

Sash, when the dough comes out of the frying pan (mold), we cut it off with a knife so that it doesn't burn, and then we turn the frying pan one side, then the other, well, do you remember ...

Delicious cake !!! I did it on Saturday, and on Sunday morning it was gone. The layer was made from apricot jam, and for sourness I added lemon curd. All my family members already tell me that it is impossible to make such cakes - it is impossible to stop eating them. There is no photo, the battery has run out, and I'm useless as a designer. Thanks again for the recipe. I will definitely repeat.

[Verik]

Verik, I am very glad that you and your family liked the cake !!!!

I'm doing it now. As always, I read every other time - I rolled out a rectangular cake almost over the entire baking sheet, I smell a thin cake.
Now I have to go to the second cake to roll out, but I don't like it or I don't know how to roll the dough Probably, my hands are growing neottedov

... but I don’t like it or I don’t know how to roll the dough. Probably, my hands are growing neottedov

Otedova, Otedova. Don't doubt yourself and your eaters. I rolled, or rather kneaded with my hands on the rug, and then twice with a rolling pin tudy-syudy, it turned out somewhere 3-4 mm ... But I have a rolling pin .. they build monuments from it .. And then it turned out 5 cakes each. Those who said "Subtly" said it while chewing ...
And this .. I'm leaving ... Leningrad ...

[Shurshun]

Shurshun, friend, reassured We are waiting, sir

but is it intended for a gas stove ?? You need to try. But who has already done it?

Sashul, I've been making nuts on the gas stove all my life, help yourself:

Little one .... I'll sell my homeland for nuts .. and not only my own .. I'll sell yours too .. and Nigeria ...
Shurshunzombi (trying to get them out of the monitor) Oh !!! about!!!! an indescribable gift .. (carries Kroshu in his arms along with a nut to a tavern)

In short, as usual - my cake came out scary, but I hope it's delicious

In short, as usual - my cake came out scary, but I hope it's delicious

The most important thing is that delicious, we are waiting for the sample

No need to wait for the test, this is my favorite cake !!! This is for me, current for me !!! (terribly greedy when it comes to Leningradsky)
In general, so, ugly, maybe because they cut the cooled cakes. I tried cutting even warm ones - it worked out well, but it's best when you first cut them out with a bowl, and then bake them. You can transfer to the baking surface either on a Teflon cloth, or not on parchment, or on a rolling pin. This is my experience, you can look for other options.
And since I baked in an airfryer, and the airfryer is round, and the bowl is also round, the cake turned out to be round. Three.
And this one is mine too, Antonovka! Oh.
So, I, cutting out with a bowl, received a completely waste-free production. But it is also true that I did not leave this production. The first three cakes I feasted on, then they stamped mine on the smell, we ate like three squirrels and only then together we remembered what we wanted to do at all. This is how three small Leningradskies were born.
The truth for me is that next time I will cook it only on a full stomach. Tightly, I must say, stuffed ..

.. hopefully delicious

said and left .. and here with her thoughts suffer ..

[P.S.]

carries Kroshu in his arms along with a nut to a tavern

Sashulkin, no one wore on their hands for a hundred years, it seems that it was not heavy (almost 40) ...

Sashul, do you remember these? These are certainly not "nuts", but also very much, and condensed milk can always be on top, yeah:



P.S. Actually, I went to get the recipe for "Leningradsky", do not swear for a flood, okay ...

* morning bubnezh with coffee
no, I don’t remember that .. Either I became old, or not grown up. Are there no more nuts? I remember about nuts, I can't forget ..
It's good that you went on business ... Maybe at least someone will already post a photo ... Some Toko tease .. I'm talking about Antonovka so that no one would think of himself
Crumb, you will bake - do not forget conscience in the ingredients (this is me about photography) and one extra cake for me.

[Shurshun]

It appears like this - they tried Ussem liked it - men more, me less - for me it's sweet, most likely I overdid it with apricot jam
My findings:
1. I will cut before baking, a lot of scraps came out with my crooked legs.
2. I will roll thicker
3. Instead of orange liqueur, I added orange essence - a very unusual cream turned out, but I don't feel any aftertaste, at the same time I don't feel apricot - the question is why is it sweet for me? It was necessary to drip and smear less (although I had 100 grams of all jam)
4. Leave for impregnation outside the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. I didn't have food in the fridge overnight
Shurshun,
Sasha, the photo is only on the phone, yesterday I ran away to the hairdresser's not until the camera was down. Which of the two numbers?

I knew that I would not be forgotten !!! I'll write to you in a personal (jumps high enough, up to the neighbor's ceiling)

Prepared cakes for the Leningradsky cake in a slow cooker. Haven't tried standing in the fridge yet. It looks very appetizing !!! Thanks for the recipe !!!

[leonanna]

leonanna, I hope that the taste will not be worse than the appearance.
I have never tried baking shortbread dough in a slow cooker. What is your MV?

Good afternoon everyone! I made a cake yesterday, haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it will be delicious! I had a question: tell me the cake should be soft, like a honey cake, or are the cakes not very saturated? The fact is that I didn't eat a real Leningrad cake, when I made the cakes, I let them cool down and only then smeared them with cream and jam ... I spread the honey cake with cream while still hot ... and it just melts in my mouth ... I'll post a photo later!

[springenergy]

springenergyI’ll probably disappoint you, but this cake doesn’t melt in your mouth, it doesn’t look like a honey cake at all.

Yes, I confirm the cake does not look like a honey cake. It's like a shortbread cookie with butter. Loose and dry. But delicious.
