A simple recipe should consist of available components, and the whole process should take a minimum of time and effort. Do you think that such dishes will fit only for a snack? But no! There are many simple ones that will look very worthy even on the festive table.

In this article, we will look at the most beautiful, delicious and not difficult to cook.

Rational proposals

How to save time and effort? There are many ways, the most common of which involves the use of semi-finished products. For example, you can not bake cakes, but use ready-made ones, and you just need to dilute the cream from the pack with water and boil. But often the effect of such products is disappointing. It is better to go the other way - make your own cake. A simple recipe, of course, may contain ready-made ingredients, but not consist entirely of them.

"Nimble Napoleon"

To prepare such a cake, you will need any. The well-known "Ears" are perfect for everyone. You can use any form in which the cake will be formed. Line it with cling film or foil.

We will need 700 g of cookies. Set one quarter aside, break into pieces, roll with a rolling pin. The resulting crumb is needed for decoration. A good cream will complement this cake recipe.

It is easy to cook according to the following recipe. Beat with a mixer 300 ml of boiled condensed milk, gradually add a pack of butter to it. Before use, the oil must be laid out on the table so that it softens at room temperature. The cream will be smooth and uniform. In a bowl, mix "Ears" and cream, carefully fill out the form. Place the cake in the refrigerator for an hour, then take it out, turn it over and cover the top and sides with crumbs. Such a cake is in no way inferior to other varieties of Napoleon, with which you would have to tinker a lot more.

"Gingerbread Castle"

Surely this recipe for a simple homemade cake is familiar to many from childhood. To prepare it, you will need 1 kg of small gingerbread cookies. If you come across large ones, cut them into pieces lengthwise. Banana cream is perfect for this dessert. Beat a glass of fat sour cream with a mixer, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Mash two bananas with a fork and mix with cream. Prepare a big meal. Dip each gingerbread in the cream and stack them in a slide, closer to each other in the form of a castle. After a couple of hours, the cake can be served at the table.

"Anthill"

This cake is sometimes found under the name "Dembelsky", because in the army for many it is the only dessert option. To prepare it, take 800 g of the simplest cookies with baked milk, a jar of condensed milk and a pack of butter. Break the cookies into pieces, mix with butter and condensed milk, place on a plate in a pile and let stand in the refrigerator for half an hour. Such a dessert turns out to be surprisingly tasty, and it looks aesthetically pleasing. No wonder they say that beauty is in simplicity.

This recipe for a simple cake at home can be improved so that it will look decent even at a holiday. Pour generously with melted chocolate and it will sparkle in a completely different way. And for decoration, you can use cocktail cherries, roasted nuts, candied fruits.

Cottage cheese banana cake

Many have had a chance to try such simple cakes even in childhood. Recipes with photos of cottage cheese desserts often evoke nostalgic feelings. In the Soviet Union, this dessert was very popular among young mothers and caring grandmothers.

To prepare it, beat 0.5 kg of cottage cheese with a blender, adding sugar and cream to it to taste. Curd mass should be thick enough. Prepare 300 grams of any sweet shortbread in a square or rectangular shape. Heat a glass of milk by adding vanilla sugar to it. Dipping the cookies in milk, lay them on the foil, forming a path about 10x30 cm in size. Lay the cottage cheese tightly on top, giving it the shape of a house. On both sides, make walls of cookies soaked in milk. In cross section, such a cake usually has a triangular shape. Prepare this simple dessert, and your work will be appreciated not only by children, but also by adults.

"Kaleidoscope"

Under this name lies not quite an ordinary cake. True, sometimes it is called differently - “Broken glass”, but this name does not seem appetizing to everyone. It is prepared from multi-colored jelly.

Put 3-4 packs in different containers to harden in advance. When it is completely dry, cut into cubes. Beat 500 ml sour cream with 1.5 tbsp. sugar, add steamed gelatin, stir, add colored jelly cubes. 300 grams of biscuit cookies, cut into pieces. put in a mold and leave to harden overnight. When you turn the mold over, the biscuit will be on the bottom.

Similar and uncomplicated jelly cakes are especially good in summer, when you don’t want to bother with the oven.

Crazy Crazy Cake

Such pastries will please even those who, for some reason, do not eat animal products. In some cookbooks, this cake, whose simple recipe came to us from the USA, is hidden under the name "Vegan Cake". It contains only herbal products.

Kill with a blender 250 g of shortbread cookies (for example, "Jubilee"). Add 100 g softened butter and 100 g condensed milk.

Cover the bottom of a detachable form with cling film, carefully distribute half the mass. Cover with foil and mold the second cake. Refrigerate the mold for 15 minutes.

At this time, break 200 grams of Meringue cookies or any other meringue-based cookies with your hands. Toast a handful of walnuts or peanuts in a dry skillet. Beat condensed milk (1 b.) With butter (150 g), and then carefully add the meringue crumbs and nuts. It's time to assemble the cake. Put half of the cream on the first cake, cover with the second cake and spread the cream again. You can decorate such a cake with nuts or meringue crumbs. To taste, it is very reminiscent of the classic "Kiev", and cooking will take you only half an hour.

pancake cake

A simple recipe, which we will consider next, recommends frying in a pan. And to make the cake even more beautiful, we will make chocolate pancakes - they are just amazingly combined with snow-white cream.

To prepare this delicious chocolate cake, you will need the most simple ingredients:

• kefir - 1 cup;
• sugar -1 glass;
• flour - 1 cup;
• chocolate - 1 bar;
• soda - 0.5 tsp;
• cocoa - 2 tbsp. l.

Cream for the cake will consist of the following ingredients:

• sour cream - 400 ml;
• sugar - an incomplete glass.

Now everything is there to prepare our homemade chocolate cake. First of all, you need to thoroughly beat the kefir with sugar with a mixer.

Then add cocoa, soda and flour sifted through a sieve. Beat with a mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The consistency of the dough should be like medium fat sour cream.

The resulting mass is placed in a silicone (or any other) form, lightly greased with vegetable oil. Then we send the form with chocolate dough to the oven, heated to 200 degrees, bake for about 30 minutes.

Ready chocolate cake should be cooled to room temperature and cut lengthwise into two parts.

While our chocolate cake is cooling, you can prepare sour cream for it. Here, too, a lot of strength is not needed: just beat the sour cream with sugar well with a mixer so that all the sugar dissolves. Lubricate the cake layers with the resulting cream and stack them on top of each other.

It remains only to decorate our wonderfully delicious chocolate cake with grated chocolate. Chocolate can be taken absolutely any, milk or bitter, as you like. We took dark chocolate and rubbed it on a coarse grater.

The finished cake is best sent to the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours so that it is well saturated with cream and becomes soft and tender.

First, prepare the cream, because it must stand in the refrigerator after preparation.

Cream - the simplest - sour cream. Sour cream should be beaten with sugar. The mass should be light, and the sugar should be completely dissolved. The resulting cream, as I said - in the refrigerator.

Now I'm making the dough for the biscuit:

I beat the whites separately, then add the yolks, and only then the sugar. Sugar should be completely dissolved. After that, gradually, in small portions, I pour flour. I do this so that there are no lumps, constantly whipping the dough. In a tablespoon, I extinguish the soda with lemon juice and add it to the dough and continue to beat everything together for some more time.

The resulting mass is poured into a cake mold, in which I first lay out baking paper. I bake a sponge cake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. You can check its readiness with a toothpick - we pierce the biscuit with it - if the toothpick is dry - the biscuit is ready, if raw dough remains on it - you have to wait.

After that, I cut the finished biscuit into three cakes and let them cool, and then generously smear the layers with cream.

I decorate the finished biscuit cake with cream.
