Milchmadchen cake in glasses: much simpler than the original

Milchmadchen or Milk Girl dessert is a popular cake made from sponge cake with condensed milk. In the classic version, you need to bake several cakes and then grease them with cream. But the following recipe is much simpler because the base needs to be crushed into crumbs. Then you should simply put everything in glasses in layers.

The idea of preparing the Milk Girl dessert in a glass was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Victoria Panasiuk (viktoria.panasiuk). It's very convenient as you don't need to cut anything. The dessert is served right in the glass.

Ingredients for the sponge cake:

• 2 eggs
• 340 g. condensed milk
• 185 g. flour
• 20 g. starch (potato or corn)
• 10 g. baking powder
• a pinch of salt

Ingredients for the cream:

• 500 g. 33% cream
• 50 g. powdered sugar
• 200 g. 3.2% cherry yogurt

Ingredients for the filling:

• 200 g. cherries
• 50 g. sugar
• 8 g. corn starch

Method of preparation:

1. Add sugar mixed with starch to cherries and cook for a few minutes to make the mixture stable and thicker.

2. Add salt to eggs and beat well until lightened and increased in volume.

3. Reduce the speed and gradually add condensed milk.

4. Sift flour with baking powder and starch. Add to the batter and mix on low speed.

5. Spread on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake in a preheated 180-degree oven until lightly browned (10-12 minutes).

6. Whip the well-cooled cream, gradually adding powdered sugar. The mass should become fluffy and hold its shape well. Make sure not to over-whip it because the cream may split.

7. Add yogurt to the whipped cream and mix gently with a spatula from the bottom/up.

8. Assemble the dessert and refrigerate overnight.

9. This portion makes twelve 200 ml glasses (and a little more biscuit left over).
