The basic basis for cakes with condensed milk can be not only cookies - creamy crackers, leftover sponge cake or pastries, specially baked and dried sponge cake, all this will do.

Ingredients

• Homemade or store-bought cookies (for example, Jubilee) - 400 grams
• Condensed milk - 150 ml.
• Cocoa - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 50 grams
• Ingredients for the second recipe
• Cookies to taste - 3 packs
• Boiled condensed milk - 1 package
• Sugar - 3 tbsp. l.
• Cocoa - 3 tbsp. l.
• Favorite nuts - (to taste)
• Dried fruits - (to taste)
• Vanilla - (to taste)

Cooking instructions

The preparation itself takes 15-30 minutes + 1 hour for cooling.

1. To get started, take any cookies you have on hand, store-bought and prepared according to your favorite recipe. Preference is given to butter or sugar cookies. Mash the cookies into crumbs using a pestle and mortar, or a blender. The finer the crumbs, the more tender the cakes will be.
2. Combine the base with cocoa. If you like a more chocolatey taste, add more cocoa than indicated in the recipe. And if you want the cake to look even more like potatoes, don’t put cocoa in the dough. A cake rolled in cocoa with a light cut looks like a potato. And then pour melted butter into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly.
3. Now you can add the most delicious thing - condensed milk.
   

   Interesting! To choose high-quality condensed milk, you should pay attention to the percentage of fat and moisture in the recipe. According to state standards for regular and boiled condensed milk, this figure should be in the range of 8.5-26.5%. Real condensed milk should not contain fats of vegetable origin, so read the composition carefully.

4. The traditional recipe uses regular white condensed milk. It should be introduced gradually so that the dough does not turn out too liquid. Stir the dough until smooth.
   
5. You can start forming cakes with condensed milk, the shape can be arbitrary; most often they are made in the form of potatoes or balls.
   
6. Roll the resulting balls in cocoa and send the cake to cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

The history of condensed milk cake

Everyone's favorite Potato cake originated in the 19th century in Finland. According to various sources, it was invented by the famous poet Johan Runeberg or his wife. When unexpected but important guests appeared on the doorstep, and in the kitchen there were only stale crumbs of cookies and a little alcohol.

At that time, cookies were bought in large bags, and a large number of crumbs remained at the bottom of the bag. Mixing cookies with sour cream, jam and cognac produced a plastic dough, from which the owners rolled into balls, baked and decorated with berries from the jam. The guests received the cake with a bang, and after that the recipe became known to many pastry chefs.

Now confectioners in all countries are preparing and improving the cake recipe. They try new ingredients and creams, and in Russia the cake made from condensed milk has taken root best, thanks to its availability and the ability to store this ingredient in the refrigerator for a long time, for a “rainy day.”

However, it is worth noting one main difference between our Potatoes and the Finnish recipe: the lack of heat treatment. In the Soviet Union, the cake was made from sponge cake scraps or cookie crumbs with sweet cream. And the housewives did homemade cake with condensed milk.

If we consider the history of cakes with condensed milk in Russia, then something similar was done at the beginning of the twentieth century in taverns in order to recycle old cakes. This recipe is not in any cookbook of that time, because... it was just a way to save expired products.

During Soviet times, cakes became a very popular dessert, rather than a second-rate snack. They were prepared in every factory and student canteen.

The dessert got its name from its external resemblance to a root vegetable. Condensed milk cakes were rolled in cocoa to hide the heterogeneous contents. And then they began to decorate it with oil to make it even more similar.

Ingredients(for about 6 servings):
120 g (1 tbsp.) flour (for dough) + 30 g (1/4 tbsp.) flour (for rolling out)
60 g (1/3 stick) butter (softened)
85 g (3.5 tbsp) sour cream (15%)
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
Pinch of salt
A pinch of soda
1/3 tsp. cinnamon
130 g (1/3 can) boiled condensed milk

Description:
The story with these cakes is the same as with the one for which I posted the recipe yesterday. I will not claim that this recipe is 100% Jewish. I found it under that name and decided to leave it that way.
The dough is reminiscent of Napoleon cakes (texture): sand-flaky, crumbly, fragile, extremely thin. The cinnamon flavor is very rich and stands out the most. Sweets in moderation, not cloying. The cakes have a pleasant taste. The cakes come out with only a slight taste of boiled condensed milk (since the coating from it is very thin).

Recipe:
Add salt, soda, 40 g (1/3 cup) flour, cinnamon, vanilla sugar to the sour cream. Mix thoroughly with a mixer. Mix soft butter with another 1/3 cup of flour (with a mixer).

Add the oil mixture to the sour cream, mix thoroughly (with a mixer). Place the mixture on a table sprinkled with flour (from the total amount). Knead the dough with your hands, adding the remaining flour. Divide the dough into 3 balls. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Roll each ball into a square 1 - 2 mm thick. First, I rolled it out a little on the table, carefully (winding it around a rolling pin) transferred the dough to a baking sheet and stretched it some more. Pierced with a fork, the point of a knife or a toothpick (to prevent bubbles from forming in the dough).
Bake for 15 minutes at 175 degrees (until brown). Separately each cake.
Trim any uneven parts of the cakes. Coat each cake layer (you don’t have to wait for them to cool completely) with boiled condensed milk (a thin layer). Stack the cakes on top of each other. Crush the scraps with your hands or a rolling pin. Sprinkle them over the top and press down.

The result was a cake (I don’t know what to call it, as long as it’s not cake) 15 x 18 cm and 1.5 cm high.
Leave overnight at room temperature. Cut into squares. I cut it into 6 cakes (can be 4 or 8).

Despite the popular belief that raw choux pastry looks unsightly, due to its unusual nature it turns out truly wonderful. Under the influence of hot steam during baking, small cavities are formed in it, which are perfect for filling with sweet filling.
Today we invite you to prepare custard cakes with condensed milk, which no sweet tooth can resist. This dessert is perfect for a family tea party or just as sweets on the table.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 pcs.
• Flour - 1 tbsp.
• Butter - 100 g.
• Water - 1 glass
• Boiled condensed milk - 0.5 cans

Preparation

Pour water into a saucepan and add small pieces of butter to it.

Wait until the mixture boils and becomes completely homogeneous.

Add flour and mix well. The readiness of the dough for choux pastries is determined by the fact that it begins to peel off from the walls.

Turn off the heat and set aside until lukewarm. Next, break one egg into a saucepan and mix all the ingredients until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Do the same with the remaining eggs.

The result should be a dough that resembles sour cream in its thickness. To do this, you can add an additional egg if necessary.
Cover the baking sheet with tracing paper and, using a pastry syringe or a regular spoon, begin laying out your future custard cakes.

Bake at 200˚C until golden brown. Never open the oven door during cooking, otherwise the food will fall off.
Hot pieces must be cooled and only then removed from the baking sheet, since this way they come off easier.

In fact, the fillings for custard pies can be very different, but with boiled condensed milk they turn out especially sweet and tasty. Moreover, now condensed milk does not need to be cooked at home, but can be bought at any store near your home.

Ingredients:

Condensed milk 380 ml
Sour cream 250 g
Salt 1 tsp.
Baking soda 2 g
Table vinegar 6 ml
Wheat flour 360 g
Ground cinnamon 1 tsp.
Vanilla sugar 2 tsp.
Margarine 200 g

Preparation:

1. First, prepare condensed milk. To do this, take a saucepan, put a can of condensed milk, fill it with cold water so that the water covers the entire jar and cook for 2 hours from the moment the water boils.
2. Place sour cream and salt in a bowl. Quench the baking soda with vinegar and add to the bowl. Add flour, ground cinnamon, vanilla sugar and mix thoroughly with a mixer. Mix soft margarine with flour and add to the bowl, and continue kneading further.
3. After thoroughly mixing all the ingredients, place the dough on a table sprinkled with flour and knead the dough with your hands, adding a glass of flour. Next, divide the dough into three parts and make a bun from each part. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
4. Roll out the bun into a layer 1-2 mm thick and place it on a baking sheet. Make holes with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming inside the dough. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes until light brown.
5. We grease each layer of cake with boiled condensed milk as soon as it is taken out of the oven. Lubricate at the rate of 1/3 of the can per cake. And we repeat this with all three cakes.
5. Cut the finished cake on 4 sides to make an even rectangle. The trimmings need to be crushed into not very fine crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs on top and press down slightly with your palm. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, so that the cakes are soaked. Cut into cakes and quickly put the kettle on. Bon appetit!
