The Classic Budget cake from the 80s! Egg-free and ready in just 20 minutes – just like our moms ...

Hello, friends! Thank you for dropping by my channel "Ukraine is Cooking." Today we have an old, somewhat forgotten cake recipe. That's how our mothers used to prepare it using ordinary, readily available ingredients. Very simple, quick to prepare, delicious, and soft cake. Homemade, perfect for tea time—exactly what you need, literally in 20 minutes. The description of this video contains the total number of all ingredients. I pour sugar into a bowl, add salt, vanilla sugar, Pour in the milk at room temperature and stir. Next, I pour here odorless oil and mix again. I will sift the flour in portions. First, sieve one part, mix it, and then add the rest. This cake can be made either light or chocolate by adding cocoa. I will have the light version today. The dough is very easy to mix, using a regular whisk. I'm trying to make everything as close as possible to that. How they actually used to prepare it in the past, without a mixer and without any difficulties. Next, stir the soda with vinegar, pour it into the dough, mix again, and then bake. Just 5 minutes for mixing the dough. That is indeed true, without exaggeration. Next, I will divide the dough into two parts. I will have two large cakes, which I will then cut. To make them the same thickness, I decided to divide the dough into two identical containers. But you don't have to do that; you can just divide it by eye. I wanted to do it exactly like this. Then I line the deck with parchment paper, I roll out one portion of the dough that I separated. and I level it evenly. As you can see, the dough is quite runny, and that's exactly how it should be. The oven in me is already preheated to 180 degrees. The cake bakes for approximately 15 to 18 minutes until lightly golden. I immediately place it on the rack to cool and bake the second layer. Both cakes are ready. They also fade very quickly, as they are quite thin. Only the cream remains to be prepared. And the cream here is really just plain and simple. Condensed milk needs to be mixed with sour cream. I have 25%. Just mix everything with a whisk and the cream is ready. Definitely use fatty sour cream so the cream doesn't turn out too runny. Next, we will need some crumbs for decoration. Therefore, I will trim the edges of the dough and make the same crumb from the trimmings. I divide each layer in half, and I end up with four identical layers. We are assembling the cake. We spread cream on each layer. You must not feel sorry for them under any circumstances. Thanks to the oil, the cakes turn out very soft. Therefore, we do not perform any additional soaking. Simply divide the cream into several parts approximately. so that there is enough for all the pancakes. And thus, we assemble the cake. The cake can be varied. For example, add walnuts or prunes to the cream. Make it more festive and flavorful. But today I have the basic, most affordable option. The very one who was written in my mother's notebook. Indeed, long ago they used to bake even from inexpensive, simplest ingredients. Those who were probably always at home. And I decided to recall this recipe. I happened to come across him by accident. And I thought, why not remind you of it as well. Such simple recipes are needed too. I make a big crumb from the scraps. Even the grinder wasn't turned on. So that everything is as close as possible to the old recipe. She adorned the sides with crumbs. And on top, simply sprinkled with powdered sugar. The tortoise needs to soak for just a few hours. Or you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight. And thus he emerges in profile. Very simple. This is, of course, no exclusive pastry. There's nothing particularly remarkable to expect from him. But it's a simple, delicious, homemade, juicy cake. One that does not require much time. Homemade baking is always better than store-bought. Thank you for your attention. I wish everyone peace and goodness.
