Cake "Mikado"

Category: Confectionery

Kitchen: armenian

Ingredients
Flour	3-4 tbsp.
Sugar	100 g
Sour cream	200 g
Slaked soda vinegar	0.5 tsp
Butter	80 g
Margarine	20 g
Egg	2 pcs.
For the cream:
Butter	200 g
Condensed milk boiled	1-2 ban.
Chocolate (for sprinkling)	1 PC. small

Cooking method

• I never buy ready-made boiled condensed milk. And I do this, I take a good condensed milk and boil it for 3 hours (the most important thing is that the water covers the jar of condensed milk), then I cool it and make a cream.
• Here is the moment of truth!
• Well, that's just a preface.
• For the dough, grind eggs with sugar, add sour cream, softened butter and margarine. Quench the soda with vinegar and add to the mass. Sift the flour and add to the dough in portions, kneading well each time. You should get a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Divide the dough into 8-10 balls, cover with foil and put in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• 
• Now you can take up the cream. Beat good butter at room temperature into a fluffy mass, and then add boiled condensed and beat again. All the cream is ready. We put it in the refrigerator.
• We take out the dough. We roll out the ball, cut it out in shape (we don’t throw out the trimmings, another ball will collect from them), prick it with a fork and put it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
• 
• We bake at 180 C for about 7-10 minutes, until the edges begin to golden. When all the cakes are baked, we begin to collect the cake. To do this, simply coat the cakes with cream and put them on top of each other.
• 
• We also coat the sides of the cake with cream. Leave the cake at room temperature for 1 hour. Then sprinkle the cake with grated chocolate and put it in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.

Note

This cake is from my Soviet childhood. I only recently learned that it is called "Mikado" and that it seems to have Armenian roots. Like many, having watched the next episode "The Last of the Magikyan" I decided to cook a real Armenian cake "Mikado". For the recipe for the cake I went online and what was my surprise when I realized that "Mikado" is nothing more than my cake with boiled condensed, which I have been preparing for ... in general, for many, many years. The recipe for a cake from my mother’s notebook, I don’t know where and from whom she got it, and she herself doesn’t remember anymore. For me, this cake personifies a holiday, when we gathered at the table as a large and friendly family and the cake was really a long-awaited and desired dessert. I can't even remember what was tastier for me then this cake, I began to desire it with all my heart even from the moment when helping my mother whipped cream with a wooden spoon and secretly licked it. Mmmmm ... It was fabulous! I still bake this cake for every birthday, only my daughter now makes the cream.

Yulechka, I'm the first for the cake. I have been baking such a cake for more than 40 years and boiling condensed milk. I didn't know that he was related to Armenian cuisine. The cake is delicious, especially the next day.

And in my childhood we called Mikado a completely different cake. Cool!
The only similarity is that it consists of thin cakes. There was no condensed milk in it. And eggs too.
Thank you, Yulia, which was reminded, I will try to implement the recipe that has long been driven into a far corner by the New Year.

Julia, thank you very much for the recipe! What a delicious and beautiful cake! I'll take it to your bookmarks. I remember the name, but the taste was somehow lost in my memory. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to remember!

"3-4 tbsp." Is 3-4 glasses of flour, if so, what about the glasses?

And I will take it to, I have not heard of this and did not eat (here I am the tundra), thanks, we will correct the gastronomic injustice ...

PremierWe made Napoleon without condensed milk, we always prepared custard for him. And for this they boiled condensed milk or sometimes, for a change, was prepared from not boiled, but with the addition of chopped walnuts, it also turned out very tasty.

[moleka]

moleka, 3-4 ordinary glasses. Add in portions always in different ways, the dough should be soft and not sticky to your hands.

julia007, Julia, come to me, okay?

[Trishka]

Trishka, Ok!

Hello! Can you tell me what to do if you dry the cakes? I didn't know that I needed to bake for 3-4 minutes, baked for 10 minutes, dried the edges. Lubricated with cream - butter: boiled condensed milk 1: 2, stood overnight at a temperature of 13 degrees, not soaked. Now stands at room. Guests tomorrow night. Panic starts😬

I'll show you my Mikado cake, well, it is a bit different in the proportions of some, but I don't think critically.
The cake was baked for Easter and therefore is so decorated.
