Cakes and pastries are pretty challenging to make, especially if you have to bake them.
Baking requires a kind of precision like no other. Your measurements should be exact, including the time duration for each step – beating, stirring, pre-heating, and such. They also take up so much time to prepare.
However, most of our favorite cakes need baking.
From moist chocolate cake to red velvet – it seems like an enormous task to have your sugar fix. Good thing there are amazing recipes out there where you can make a cake without baking.
This recipe on YouTube by a channel called ‘Fast and Tasty’ will show you that.
She calls it a “miracle recipe” because this delicate cake is so easy to make, you wouldn’t believe you’ll be able to make one in just 10 minutes! Plus, it’s so soft and tasty, everyone in your home will surely love it.
Want to whip one up for yourself or the family? Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp Flour
- 2 tbsp Starch
- 3 1/3 cup Milk
- 1/3 cup Butter
- Puff pastry
First, beat the eggs with the sugar in a saucepan.
Mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract. Alternatively, you can use vanilla sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended and with a smooth texture.
Add the flour and mix.
Make sure that there are no lumps. Then, add the starch and mix again. You must eliminate the bubbles in the mixture so that your batter will be smooth.
Pour the milk in a thin stream while stirring constantly.
When the batter is mixed well, put the pan on top of a stove and set to low heat. Continue stirring while heating the mixture and bring it to a boil.
Once it starts boiling, remove it from the stove.
Add the butter and mix, and fold until it is smooth. Once done, it’s time to assemble your cake.
Get a plate and use a 7-inch round mold.
Wrap the inner side of the mold with cling wrap. Place it on the plate and start assembling your cake.
Place pieces of puff pastries as your base.
You can cut them into smaller pieces to fill the gap and cover the entire area. If you find this a bit difficult, you can use a square mold of the same size instead.
Pour a layer of batter.
Spread it out until ¼ of the pan’s thickness. Place another layer of puff pastry, then pour the batter again. Do this until your reach the top.
Crush some puff pastry and sprinkle on top.
Spread it all over the top and make sure that it’s not too thick. Let it chill for three hours or overnight.
Take out the cake from the fridge.
Remove the mold carefully, then peel off the cling wrap. You can crush more puff pastry and sprinkle or decorate it at the side.
Take a slice of that cake and enjoy! Isn’t it gorgeous?
