You're having a party and the oven in your gas stove is on strike and won't help you cook? Of course, you can easily prepare the main dishes without her help, but what about the birthday cake? The pride of excellent cooking does not allow you to buy ready-made in the store, and you simply consider it below your dignity to cook light cakes that do not need to be baked.

So what to do? Run for help to a neighbor or urgently go for a new stove? But before it is brought and installed, a lot of time will pass, and you need to start cooking now.

No big deal! Why don't you bake a cake in a pan? Yes, yes, it is quite real. The cake cooks quickly and is very tasty. You can even bake a Napoleon cake. In a frying pan, it can be cooked in literally 40 minutes.

Let's try.

First let's do the cream. Custard is traditionally used for "Napoleon", since all other creams do not soak puff cakes so well, and the cake can turn out to be dry. In order for the cream not to burn, it is better to cook it in a water bath. We put a pot of water on the stove, let it heat up for now. And in another pan, smaller in size,start mixing cream ingredients.

Five eggs thoroughly rubbed with one glass of sugar, add half a glass of flour and vanillin on the tip of a knife. Carefully pour in a liter of cold milk, making sure that our preparation for the cream is without lumps. We put the saucepan in a water bath and, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a light boil. The cream should be slightly thick. Set it aside and let it cool.

And we'll take care of the test.

For the dough we will need: granulated sugar (in the amount of one glass), 3 eggs, butter (2 tablespoons), 4 glasses of flour, a little s alt and half a teaspoon of slaked soda.

Beat eggs with sugar, add butter, s alt, soda and flour. We knead the dough. You need to knead it until it starts to stick out of your hands. You may need to add more flour, as its consumption depends on the variety. As soon as the dough has ceased to actively stick to your hands, set it aside for 20 minutes, and return to the cream yourself.

It has already cooled down a bit, and you can beat a pack of softened butter into it. Our cream is ready, and the dough has already settled. You can proceed to the most important. So, bake a cake in a pan.

All the dough is divided into 16 parts, the size of a tennis ball, rolled out and put on a dry hot frying pan on fire. Cakes are baked very quickly, so it is better not to leave the stove. Do not forget, just before putting a new cake in the pan, carefully remove traces with a clean napkinstay on it previous.

Everything. The crusts are also ready. You baked a cake in a pan. It remains only to "collect" it and decorate it as usual.

Do not spare the cream, on average, you need to put two tablespoons on one cake, otherwise the cake in the pan will not be soaked. Be sure to leave one cake - it will go for sprinkling. The assembled and decorated cake can be served on the table in an hour, but it is still better to cover it with polyethylene and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple more hours.
