“Milk girl” and “Caramel girl” sisters

You may have already tried the “Caramel girl” cake, which can be considered the sister of the “Milk girl” cake. The cakes are similar in preparation and somewhat in taste, but at the same time differ in it.

The dough for the “Milk girl” is made with ordinary sweetened condensed milk and not caramelized. The cream for the cake “Milk girl” is without caramel sauce.

Cake “Milk girl” – without rolling out the cake layers

Just like the “Caramel girl”, the “Milk girl” cake does not require rolling out the cake layers, although it consists of several thin layers. Thus, you can make this cake much faster. You simply spread the thick dough for the cake on the baking sheet, bake one large cake layer and then cut it into several smaller cake layers.

Alternatively, you can make the Russian cake round instead of square. To do this, either draw a circle on the baking paper (as big as the cake should be) or put the edge of a springform pan, spread the dough thinly in this circle and bake it (you should remove the edge of the springform pan before baking).

Continue in this way until the dough is used up and you have baked all the cake layers. Baking the cake layers in this case will take longer than if you make a square cake.

Delicate cake – easy recipe

The “Milk girl” cake not only tastes incredibly delicious, but it’s quick and easy to make from a few common ingredients that you’re sure to already have at home.

The cake layers are ready in no time without rolling them out. All you have to do is prepare the batter. For the cream, whip cream cheese, cream and powdered sugar until creamy. So you have your cake ready in a flash.

Easy whipped cream cream

The cream that is most often used for the cake consists of only two ingredients. Those are cream and powdered sugar. You beat the two ingredients together until stiff, and the cream for the cake “Milk girl” is ready.

For the cake layers according to the recipe below you need

  • 500 g cream,
  • 50 g powdered sugar or to taste, depending on how sweet you want the cream.

Alternatively, you can use sweetened condensed milk instead of powdered sugar. You will then need

  • 500 g cream,
  • 150 g of sweetened condensed milk.

Whip the cream and the sweetened condensed milk together to a cream – ready.

Cream with Russian tvorog

For this you need

  • 300 g of tvorog,
  • 500 g cream,
  • 100 g powdered sugar,
  • vanilla.

Tvorog can be bought in Russian stores or some supermarkets. You can also easily make your own tvorog.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla to tvorog and blend it with a hand blender. Whip cream until fluffy, add the tvorog mixture in small portions little by little and continue to whip it to a homogeneous cream.

Cream-butter-cream

For this variant you need

Whip butter for 3 – 4 minutes to a creamy white mass. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk in small portions and beat until homogeneous. Now whip cream until frothy, then add condensed milk-butter mixture in small portions little by little and whip it to a homogeneous cream.

Tips and tricks: how to make your “Milk girl” perfect

  • According to the original recipe, the dough is prepared without butter. So you can leave it out. With butter, however, the dough tastes softer and more tender.
  • For the dough, the amount of flour given may vary, as each type of flour absorbs liquid differently. The dough should be thick, i.e. not too liquid and not too solid. Therefore, first take a little less flour and mix it with baking powder. When stirring the dough, simply add more flour if it is too liquid.
  • It is best to sift the flour with the baking powder so that no lumps form in the dough.
  • Add melted butter to the dough when it has cooled down.
  • To check whether the cake base is ready, you should do a stick test. To do this, insert a toothpick briefly into the center of the pie crust and see if it stays almost clean after you pull it out. If the toothpick stays smeared in raw dough, you still need to bake the pie crust. If only a few moist crumbs remain on the toothpick, the pie crust is ready. If the toothpick comes out dry, it could be that you baked the cake base too long and it tastes too dry in the end. Alternatively, you can test whether the cake base is ready as follows: Gently press the surface of the dough with a finger in the middle for a short time. If the cake base springs back after pressing and no traces remain visible, it is ready.
  • Let the pie crusts cool on a flat, even surface.
  • You’ve done a perfect job with the dough if, when cut into multiple pie crusts after baking, it looks very fluffy with lots of little holes in the cut.
  • You can cut each of the two cake layers into four pieces instead of two. Then your cake consists of 8 cake layers, is much higher and about 15 x 20 cm in size. For my taste, the cake is then too high. But you can do it the way you like it best.
  • Cream cheese and cream for the cream must be cold before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar for the cream to your taste, depending on how sweet you like the cake.
  • Like most Russian cakes, this one tastes even better in the next few days.
