What hostess doesn't want to show off her culinary masterpieces? Especially when it comes to desserts, because they are the hardest to prepare. However, any hostess strives to get into her arsenal an easy and simple recipe that does not require much time and products for preparation, and the result must certainly exceed all the expectations of the guests. These recipes include the Tatyana cake. It is incredibly tasty, and even a beginner can handle it.

Features

Like any other recipe, there are some peculiarities here. For example, it is assumed that the cakes should differ from each other in filling, that is, the dough is initially divided into three parts, and one thing is added to each. Various dried fruits, nuts, and even poppy seeds can be used as fillings. Another feature that the Tatiana cake has is its cream. It must certainly be made from sour cream, as this guarantees the harmony of taste: sweet cakes and slightly sour cream. There are two main recipes for this cake, they differ in the set of ingredients, but in general they are similar. It is worth considering both and choosing the one that will have moretaste.

First option

For this option, you will need medium eggs (five pieces), a glass of sugar, raisins (or your other favorite dried fruits), walnuts, poppy seeds, flour, half a glass of honey and a teaspoon of soda. First, lightly rub the eggs with sugar, do not beat, this is not necessary. Then add all other ingredients and mix well. Cover with foil and put the mass to “rest” in the refrigerator for 4 hours. This is necessary so that the flour swells, then the cakes will turn out to be more magnificent. As we have already said, the most delicious Tatyana cake involves different fillings, but you can choose one thing or just not divide the dough and add all the fillings at once. It is better, however, to make three different cakes - this way the dessert will look more interesting. So, the dough is infused - it's time to bake. But first, chop the nuts and drain the water from the pre-soaked raisins. Divide the dough into three parts and add nuts, dried fruits and poppy seeds, respectively. Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with butter. Bake the cakes alternately (at 200 degrees) until golden brown and then let them cool completely.

Second option

To make Tatyana cake according to this recipe, you do not need honey. Take for each cake half a glass of sugar, flour, sour cream, as well as an egg and a teaspoon of soda. You will also need starch (1-2 tablespoons), and it does not matter if it is corn or potato. As toppings, also take dried fruits, nuts and poppy seeds (half a glass each). Whisk firstsour cream with sugar, beat well so that the mass becomes dense. Separately, beat the egg and pour it into the sour cream. Then add all the remaining ingredients, including one of the three fillings, mix. For the next two cakes, the dough is kneaded in a similar way. In this case, you do not need to infuse the dough, so immediately prepare the forms, greased with oil, and preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake each serving for at least 20 minutes until golden brown. If the cakes rise a lot, then just cut each in half, then you will get not three, but six cakes. In this case, the layers will be even more saturated with cream and become even softer and more pleasant to the taste. Let them cool completely after baking.

Cream with sourness

Whatever recipe you use, Tatyana cake is always prepared with sour cream. To prepare it, you will need sour cream, and two types - homemade and store-bought (in a ratio of one to one). The whole cake will take about half a liter. Homemade, more oily, will not let the cream fall off, and the store will create that unique sour taste. You will also need sugar - one glass. To make it dissolve better, it will have to be ground in a coffee grinder to a powder state. Mix everything in a bowl, the latter can be slightly cooled in the refrigerator, and beat until the mass is compacted. When the cream is ready, you can proceed to the assembly of the cake. It is better to do this in a saucepan, then the cream will not flow out, but will completely soak the cakes. Then just turn over and decorate on top. Lubricate the cakes with such a calculation,so that you also have enough to cover the sides and top. Leave the future Tatyana cake in the refrigerator for three hours, and ideally overnight. Decorate as you like, fantasize.

Tips

To ease the cooking process and eliminate all sorts of mistakes, follow these tips. Raisins and any other dried fruits after soaking should be rolled in flour, then they will not sink to the bottom, but will be evenly distributed over the volume of the cake. Nuts should not be ground in a coffee grinder or passed through a meat grinder, it is better if you chop them, then they will be felt and create a pleasant texture. Please note that our cream is cold, so completely cool the cakes, otherwise the cream will simply melt and spread. Now you know how to make Tatiana cake, so you can invite guests for tea.
