The most delicious homemade cakes

The recipe for homemade cakes is similar to the one my grandmother used to cook in the village. When I eat my pastries, a carefree childhood, delicious pies and fresh milk immediately pops up in my memory. Now I often pamper my children with homemade cakes. It will take only 5 ingredients and a little work with your hands during the kneading process. So, we cook cakes at home.

Ingredients:

  • 800 milliliters of milk;
  • 100-150 grams of butter or margarine;
  • 1.5 teaspoons of salt;
  • flour (about 3-4 cups);
  • sesame seeds for decoration.

Each time a different amount of flour is consumed, so it is difficult to say how much it will be needed. It all depends on how the dough behaves. I add the flour gradually until the dough becomes elastic (but not solid).

The most delicious homemade cakes. Step cooking

  1. We start by heating the milk. It should be slightly warm. Pour it into a deep container.
  2. Further, for the step-by-step preparation of cakes, it is necessary to melt the oil in a water bath. Cool it a little and add to milk. Mix.
  3. Add a little flour. Crumple the dough with your hands. Add so much flour to make the dough elastic. The final amount of flour depends on how many other ingredients for homemade cakes were originally added. Mash the dough until it becomes smooth. We form a ball.
  4. Next, cover the container with the dough and put in a warm place. It must rise. It will take 2 hours.
  5. Then a step-by-step recipe for cakes requires dough to be divided into several parts. I usually cut with a knife into 4 pieces. How many pieces you make, so many will be cakes.
  6. Sprinkle flour on the table. We spread the dough on it. We form a ball from each piece. We cover the dough with a towel and let it stand for another 15-20 minutes.
  7. We form cakes from each ball. Now the dough has increased in size and become soft, so it will be easy to roll out. I do it with my hands. I just push my fingers in the middle and slowly stretch the dough. As a result, the cakes should be thick (2-3 cm).
  8. Now prepare the form. Lubricate it with oil. We spread the cake in the form and there we continue to form it. I make a recess in the middle with my fingers, so that the edges are higher (as in a sour cream).
  9. So that the dough does not swell, we make frequent punctures in the middle with a fork.
  10. The center of the cake is slightly moistened with water, sprinkled with sesame seeds. I sometimes use flax seed, as it is very useful.
  11. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. We bake our creation until rosy color. This is approximately 20 minutes. Periodically spray the center with cold water. When the baking is ready, grease the top with ghee.

That's the whole simple cake recipe. The baking is very tasty, and the oil gives a special gentle touch. I bake such food for children with me to school for a snack. My husband and I also love to eat homemade cakes with omelettes in the morning. People often ask me how to make delicious cakes. I’m sharing my secret for the first time. Give it a try!
