Cake "Kievsky" - recipe according to GOST

For many, Kiev cake is the embodiment of the happiest moments of childhood. Thanks to him, even the most ordinary tea drinking turns into a real feast. We suggest trying to recreate such a masterpiece at home according to the proposed step-by-step recipe with a photo. This is how the Soviet pastry chefs baked the dessert in accordance with GOST.

Cake ingredients:

• 6 egg whites;
• 225 g sugar (+50 g);
• 50 g flour;
• 175 g cashew nuts;
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar.

For the cream:

• 275 g butter;
• 6 egg yolks;
• 150 g sugar;
• 175 ml of milk;
• 10 cocoa;
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar;
• 1 tbsp. l. cognac.

Preparation:

First, we separate the yolks from the whites. We put the yolks in the refrigerator, they will be needed for the cream. But we will ferment the squirrels, and for this we cover them with a film and leave them warm from 12 hours to a day

Now we dry the cashews for 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 150 ° C

Using a blender, chop the nuts into coarse crumbs with short pulses or with a knife

In a common container, combine the nut crumbs with most of the sugar and sifted flour. Stir dry ingredients until smooth

Pour the fermented proteins into the bowl and begin to beat at low speed. Then add sugar (50 g) in two steps, and then vanilla sugar

As soon as the meringue becomes smooth, shiny, and the whisk leaves a distinct mark on the surface, turn off the mixer, and pour dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites in three passes. Gently, with movements from bottom to top, mix until smooth

• We put two rings with a diameter of 18 cm on a baking sheet with parchment - the main cakes will be baked in them. And we also put a ring of a smaller diameter, in it we will bake the cake, then grind it into crumbs for sprinkling the cake.
• We send 2/3 of the dough into the small ring, and divide the rest in half between the other two rings.

• Distribute the dough evenly inside the rings and poison it in an oven preheated to 150 ° C, the heat of which is immediately reduced to 120 ° C. We dry the cakes for 2-2, 5 hours (the exact time depends on the power of the oven).
• After we take out the cakes, give them a little time to cool down, and then remove them from the molds. We immediately turn the small cake into crumbs, put the main cakes on the wire rack and leave them for at least 12 hours.

• For the cream, pour milk into a saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• In a separate container, mix the yolks well and pour hot milk into them in a thin stream.

• We return the mixture to the saucepan, put it on the fire again and, with vigorous stirring, bring it to thicken.
• Pour into another container, cover with foil and leave to cool at room temperature.
• Whitened and beat until fluffy soft butter with vanilla sugar.

• Without interrupting whipping, add the custard base in small portions to the whipped butter.
• Immediately set aside a little cream (about 2 tablespoons) for decoration.

Divide the remaining cream in half. Add cognac to one part, and sift cocoa to the other and stir

• Putting the cake together: apply a small amount of cream to the substrate so that the dessert does not slip. We put the first cake with the smooth side down, set a ring around and spread the cream with cognac.
• Then we put the second cake with the smooth side up, press it lightly and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• After removing the ring, cover the surface and sides of the cake with cream to which cocoa was added.

Now sprinkle the sides with crumbs, and on the surface of the cake, using a pastry bag, draw a mesh from the remaining white cream

If desired, decorate the dessert with waffle roses

If there is no time for fermenting egg whites, then cook from eggs that are old at home, but not from fresh ones. In the original step-by-step recipe with a photo in accordance with GOST, "Kiev cake" is prepared with cashews, but if you wish, you can use any nuts.
