Preparation Steps
Step 1
Cooling the ingredients: before you start making the cake batter, make sure all the ingredients are well chilled. Place the required amount of flour in the freezer for an hour, and send the butter there as well. Chill the water for the perfect dough consistency.
Step 2
Grinding and mixing: use a chopper blender to knead the dough. Pour sifted flour and salt into the blender bowl or a large bowl, add butter cut into pieces. Grind everything into crumbs. If you are working without a blender, quickly grate the butter on a coarse grater and mix with flour.
Step 3
Preparation for baking: take the butter for the cream out of the refrigerator so that it reaches room temperature. Turn on the oven and preheat it to 200ºC.
Step 4
Cake assembly: take a wide flat dish, cake stand, or special substrate. Apply a little cream so that the cake does not "slide away". Visually divide the cream into 6 parts (5 for assembly and 1 for coating).
Step 5
Final touches: Spread the cake layer with cream, put the second one on top, and repeat until you have assembled the entire cake. For better soaking, leave it at room temperature for an hour.
Step 6
Cooling and serving: apply the cream to the sides and top of the cake, cover it with the prepared crumbs. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to fully cool and soak. Serve and enjoy the classic taste of the cake!
For sauce:
Step 1
Dough preparation: pour in ice water and vodka, quickly knead the dough. It's okay if it's a little uneven, with small pieces of butter. Form the dough into a sausage shape, divide into 6 parts, place on a plate, wrap in film or put in a bag and refrigerate for an hour.
Step 2
Baking the cake layers: roll out each piece of dough one at a time on a sheet of parchment paper. Trim using a plate or ring, bake together with the scraps until golden brown. While one layer is baking, prepare the second so that the process is continuous.
Step 3
Preparation of cake layers: carefully stack the ready-made cake layers in a pile. Separately, transfer the scraps to a bowl and break them into pieces. If you have rolled out the dough correctly and baked it to the desired state, the cake layers will be very pliable and easily turn into airy flakes under your fingers.
Step 4
Preparing the cream: whip softened butter at room temperature with powdered sugar. The butter should be soft enough to form a fluffy and homogeneous mass.
Step 5
Creamy perfection: add condensed milk, but not all at once, but a few tablespoons at a time. Use regular or boiled condensed milk (ready-made or pre-cooked and cooled) to create an airy and stable cream.
Enjoy your meal!
