Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Ingredients

Step 2

Step 2
First we prepare the cream. To do this, mix all the ingredients of the cream. Add 2 eggs to milk

Step 3

Step 3
Add vanilla sugar

Step 4

Step 4
And a glass of regular granulated sugar,

Step 5

Step 5
And two tablespoons of flour.

Step 6

Step 6
Mix everything thoroughly

Step 7

Step 7
And letʼs cook over low heat until thickened. I cooked for about 25 minutes

Step 8

Step 8
Add butter to hot cream. Stir and cover with a lid to prevent a crust from forming on the cream.

Step 9

Step 9
Letʼs start preparing the dough. Pour condensed milk into a bowl and add one egg.

Step 10

Step 10
Letʼs quench the soda with vinegar and put it in the same bowl. Letʼs mix.

Step 11

Step 11
Now add flour. We will add flour gradually. First mix with a whisk, then with your hands.

Step 12

Step 12
The consistency of the dough will be similar to shortbread. The dough is soft, pleasant, elastic.

Step 13

Step 13
Divide the dough into several parts. I divided the dough into 2 parts. I made 4 large balls from one half, 4 medium ones and 4 small ones from the other.

Step 14

Step 14
Lightly dust the table and rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough into thin cakes. Feel free to lightly dust the dough and table with flour while rolling. This will make the dough easier to roll out. Prick the pieces with a fork. Before you start frying the cakes, roll out all the parts. Or it’s convenient to work in tandem — one rolls, the other fries. This way things will go much faster.

Step 15

Step 15
Fry in a dry frying pan. The dough will begin to expand, become thicker, and funny bubbles will form on the surface. Fry for 40 seconds — 1 minute and turn over.

Step 16

Step 16
We fry the same amount and remove. I don’t have a 28 cm frying pan, so large cakes were fried with an overlap on the walls, but when I removed them, they turned out smooth, not bent.

Step 17

Step 17
We cut the finished cakes with a knife into plates (or templates) of different diameters.

Step 18

Step 18
Cut the kiwi into thin slices. I took hard kiwis so that I could cut them thinly (about 1 mm). If you use soft kiwis, you may need 2 times more of them, because... Slicing them thinly is more difficult.

Step 19

Step 19
Place a large cake on a dish, cover with cream, lay out kiwi, and grease with cream again. We repeat this with all the cakes. We simply place the last cake on top.

Step 20

Step 20
Now we take the scraps from the cake layers, dip them in the cream and place them on the sides of the cake where necessary to give the cake a hemispherical shape. Pour the remaining cream onto the cake and coat it on all sides

Step 21

Step 21
Place a kiwi circle in the center and overlap other circles around it. This way we cover the whole cake. I used thin pieces of kiwi for the top and sides and thicker ones for the bottom so they could stand up on the platter. The thin ones tried to slide down.

Step 22

Step 22
Let the cake brew a little. 20 minutes will be enough, and you can serve it.

Step 23

Step 23
Bon appetit to you and your kids!
