Cinderella cake is a dessert that has been on sale since the time of perestroika. It was prepared on special sheets, and the dessert itself was sold in portions. Such a product gained great popularity and continued to be in demand even after dozens and hundreds of other desserts began to appear on the shelves.

Brief description of cooking technology according to GOST

Cinderella cake was made from several chocolate cakes, the thickness of which did not exceed 1.5 cm. All the cakes were smeared with white cream (the thickness of this layer was the same). The top of the cake was filled with chocolate icing.

Semolina and butter were used to prepare the cream. In the dough itself, one could notice the presence of soda, but in terms of its structure, the dough was not similar to the layers of the famous "Prague Cake".

Today there are many options for preparing such a dish, but below will be a recipe that is as close as possible to the recipe of Soviet times in composition.

How is a real Cinderella cake made? The recipe is as follows:

1. Initially, you need to make a biscuit. To do this, beat 4 egg whites with a mixer, adding a pinch of citric acid and 100 g of sugar.
2. Grate the yolks with 100 g of sugar.
3. Then mix the protein and yolk and add 100 ml of sour cream.
4. In a separate container, mix 300 g of flour with 1 tsp. soda, add 3 tbsp. l. cocoa and 50 g butter, beat until smooth.
5. After that, carefully pour the mixture with eggs into the resulting dough and beat thoroughly with a spoon. In this case, it is better not to use a mixer, as the dough will lose its airiness. It will be necessary to interfere until the state of complete homogeneity.
6. Now pour the dough into a mold, which must first be smeared with oil, and send it to the oven for 20 minutes to bake. The oven should be preheated to 200 degrees. After 20 minutes, you need to check the biscuit by piercing it with a match - if there are no dough residues on it, then the dough is ready.
7. We take the biscuit out of the oven, and after cooling, cut it into 2-3 cakes.
8. While the biscuit is cooling, you can prepare the cream. To do this, bring to a boil 400 ml of milk and add 3 tbsp. l. decoys. Groats should be cooked over low heat for about 15 minutes. You need to stir it all the time until a thick porridge forms.
9. Cool the semolina and add 200 g of butter, a package of vanilla sugarand a pinch of citric acid. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
10. For the glaze you will need to melt a chocolate bar with milk in a water bath.
11. After that, you can start assembling the cake. We lightly coat the cakes with orange juice, after which we treat each layer with cream (it is better not to smear it around the edges so that the cream does not spread outside the cake).
12. Pour hot chocolate over the dessert, and then sprinkle with a nut or other decoration.

To add spice, you need to use the juice of half an orange. To prepare chocolate icing, you will need 100 gr. dark chocolate and 50 ml of milk. Cake "Cinderella" is ready - it can be served on any table as a dessert.
