• a can of condensed milk;
• 2 eggs;
• 160 g wheat flour;
• a tablespoon of baking powder;

• 90 g dark quality chocolate;
• 100 ml milk;
• 2 eggs;
• 200 g wheat flour;

There are many variations of the Chocolate Girl cake, differing in the composition of the cream layer. The most successful and interesting is chocolate cream, consisting of the following ingredients:

• 250 g mascarpone;
• 100 g dark chocolate;
• 500 ml 30–35% cream;
• 50 g powdered sugar.

Cooking method

For Milk Girl lovers, a detailed recipe for creating a white cake:

1. Vanillin and baking powder are added to the sifted flour. Stir and set aside.
2. Break the eggs and beat until foamy.
3. Pour in condensed milk and stir until smooth.
4. Pour the flour mixture into the egg-milk mixture. Gently stir with a mixer.
5. Leave the finished dough for 10-15 minutes before putting it in the oven.

Fans of the chocolate version of the cake make cakes according to this recipe:

1. Combine flour, baking powder, salt. The mixture is set aside.
2. Milk is poured into a container for heating and sent to the microwave. Add chocolate broken into pieces to the warm drink and stir until a homogeneous mass of a beautiful chocolate color is obtained.
3. Add condensed milk to the resulting mass and mix.
4. Beat in the eggs and stir again.
5. The milk-egg mass is combined with the flour mixture prepared earlier. Beat with a mixer.
6. The prepared dough is left for 10–15 minutes before going into the oven.

Next comes the cake baking stage. To do this, heat the oven to 180 °C. Take culinary parchment and draw a circle on it with the same diameter as the cake should be. For convenience, you can take a cooking ring or a flat plate.

For the specified amount of ingredients, it is advisable to make a diameter of 20 cm, then 2 or 3 tablespoons of dough are enough for one cake. There should be 8 cakes in total, but the hostess can make more or less at her discretion.

The dough is spread on parchment paper and baked in the oven for 5-7 minutes. The finished cakes are leveled by placing a plate or ring mold on top, cutting off the protruding parts with a knife.

The next stage is preparing the cream for the Chocolate Girl:

1. Mascarpone cheese, softened at room temperature, is kneaded with a spoon to a viscous mass.
2. The chocolate is broken into small pieces and melted in a water bath.
3. Combine chocolate mass and mascarpone. Beat with a mixer at low speed until smooth.
4. In another bowl, the cream is combined with sweet powder. Beat.
5. Add a third of the sweet cream to the cheese-chocolate mass and gently stir until smooth.
6. Add the rest of the cream and beat.

After preparing all the ingredients, all that remains is to assemble the chocolate cake. It is most convenient to do this in a cooking ring, but it is also possible without a device, since the cakes are neatly round in shape and easy to stack on top of each other.

Spread 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate cream onto each cake with a diameter of 20 cm. Do not apply cream to the last layer of baking. The surface can be decorated with chocolate glaze and sprinkled with chopped scraps left over from the cakes. Or you can prepare a delicious filling from sour cream, mascarpone and granulated sugar.

The finished Chocolate Girl is sent to infuse on the refrigerator shelf for 3-4 hours.

Cooking for 3 minutes:

Beat the cooled sour cream with sugar and vanilla at low speed until it reaches a stable, airy consistency. The cream is ready - quick and tasty!

Chocolate curd cream

The taste of curd cream - soft, delicate - is ideal for the “Milk Girl”.

This is a budget, but no less tasty variation of cream cheese.

Instead of granulated sugar, you can use condensed milk, which will “support” the taste of the base.

Cheese cream cheese

Its taste is somewhat unusual - curd cheese adds piquancy. In this version, you need to use powdered sugar - regular sugar does not have time to dissolve.

You will need:

• curd cheese (mascarpone) - 400 g
• whipping cream (not less than 33% fat) - 100-150 ml
• powdered sugar - 100 g

Cooking method

With “Milk Girl” sponge cakes you get an original and tasty tandem.

It is better to cook condensed milk for this recipe using the oldest and most proven method - 2 hours in a pan of water.

Products for cream:

• cream 33% - 1 tbsp.
• condensed milk - 1 can
• butter - 100 g
• chopped walnuts - 70-100 g (you can do without them or reduce the amount).

How to cook:

1. Whip the cream at the same time as the condensed milk.
2. Gradually adding softened butter, continue beating.
3. Add the nuts last. Mix.

Secrets of the "Milk Girl"

The Milk Girl recipe comes from Germany.
In German, its name is written and sounds like “Milch Mädchen”. This is nothing more than the famous German condensed milk - one of the oldest and highest quality brands.

Used to prepare the base of the cake, it gave the name to the baked goods.

For the traditional cake layers of the famous cake, you will need a minimum amount of ingredients - flour, eggs and the ingredient that determines the taste of the future culinary masterpiece - condensed milk.

Therefore, it must be the best and meet all possible standards.

There is no point in saving money and buying cheap ones - the taste of “Milk Girl” can be hopelessly ruined.

Each cake is baked independently. They should not be thicker than 1 cm. But you need a lot of cream, it will make the cakes soaked and moist. It is up to each pastry chef to decide which cream to choose. The classic is ice cream, but others will work just as well.

Cake “Milk Girl” with yogurt and curd cream

Let's make a “Milk Girl” cake with an unusual cream! For it we need soft creamy Mascarpone cheese or low-fat soft cottage cheese, and also any natural yogurt. Choose the yogurt you love, but if you want to maintain the original Dairy Girl flavor, choose a non-sour, creamy yogurt without any additives. Any fruit, confectionery sprinkles or chocolate chips are suitable for decorating the cake.

Ingredients:

For the test:

• Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
• Condensed milk – 1 can.
• Flour – 1 tbsp. (no more than 180-200 gr.).
• Baking powder – 1 sachet (10 g).
• Salt – 1 pinch.
• Vanillin – 1 tsp.

For cream:

• Cottage cheese or Mascarpone cheese – 250 ml.
• Yogurt – 300 gr.
• Vanilla sugar – 1 sachet (10 g).
• Powdered sugar – 70 gr.

Cooking process:

1. Pour a can of condensed milk into a bowl, beat two eggs into it. Beat everything together until smooth with a mixer or whisk with a pinch of salt.
2. Add sifted flour with baking powder and vanilla to beaten eggs and condensed milk, mix. The result will be a dough that has the consistency of thick sour cream.
3. Bake cake layers following step-by-step recipe No. 1 from our selection. You should get 5-6 porous cakes from the specified amount of dough.
4. Separate the warm cakes from the baking paper and place them on a flat surface to cool. There is no need to stack the cakes in one stack to prevent them from sticking together.
5. For cooled cakes, you can use a knife to trim the uneven edges using a general template. For example, a saucepan lid of a suitable diameter.
6. For the cream, in a deep bowl you need to mix cottage cheese (or Mascarpone) with yogurt. Yogurt can be replaced with non-acidic sour cream with a low fat content (10-12%).
7. Add vanilla sugar and powdered sugar to the cream. Beat the cream with a mixer.
8. Assemble the cake, lightly brushing the bottom layer with cream. When you place each layer on the cake, lightly press it with your hands - this will allow the cream to be absorbed better. Soak each layer, top and sides of the cake well with cream. Each layer should use 2-3 tablespoons of cream.
9. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours.
10. Decorate the top of the cake as you wish and serve.
