Detachable whites from yolks, proteins are sent to rest in the fridge. Quickly and easily prepare the dough: RUB the yolks with sugar, salt and vanilla, portions and beat in the butter, then soda, milk and flour, until a soft-soft, but alipose dough. That is, even a ball rolls down reluctantly. Flour always goes a different number from 3 to 3.5 cups.

The dough does not need cooling, just cut 5-6 pieces and start the oven. If You have sheets with non-stick coating, just grease the sheet with oil and knead it for a portion of the test. I use baking paper, not to wash the sheets after each layer, and to remove the finished cakes so much safer: they are very fragile. Before baking the cakes, of course, pinned and put into the oven at 200 degrees until Golden brown.

Leave to cool and prepare the cream.

Protein whisk very well to dissolve the sugar as for meringue. If you use a mixer, it is better to take the powdered sugar. Sugar or powder added to 3-4 hours. I have added more as the dough, a pinch of salt and vanilla. Here, the Corolla is in proteins.

Now add the jam, very carefully, slowly, first on one spoon, so as not precipitate proteins. Here's a little pot of cream, which should be immediately smeared cakes.

This cake soaked very quickly, so we are applying it for an hour before serving to enjoy with both available capacity: December 31 – when the cakes are still crispy, and January 1, when the cake is completely soaked. And tell which option is better, can't they just completely different, but both incredibly, horribly delicious. About jam. First, the recipe aunt Shura is suitable for any, not necessarily an apricot, but somehow here I am at experiments is not drawn. Mom says that one time I made raspberry jam, too, it was delicious, but I don't remember. Second, I use homemade apricot jam, not too sweet. If You got very sweet, you may need to test to take 1 tablespoon of sugar less. About cakes. With six cakes of it, of course, is better than five. But our cakes are traveling from one apartment to another and, if they are six, sure crack. Indeed, very fragile. And about the design. After complete impregnation the cream settles and the cake no longer looks so attractive. Therefore, making 6 cakes, one to crumble and sprinkle them over the top and sides of cake. But I'm going to eat it without any guests, so I do not bother, especially the next day there is little left. Sorry for non-shiny pictures: 31 Dec something difficult to do thoroughly. Bon appetit! Happy New Year! May you all have a tail in the heat, the Mustache in sour cream, and heart Mur-Mur-Mur.
