Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a Ladyʼs whim cake at home? First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the cream. It is better to take milk with a higher percentage of fat content. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance; it should be at room temperature.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour milk into a saucepan. Add flour and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Place the saucepan with the contents over medium heat and stir everything immediately. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a spoon. Boil the cream until it begins to thicken. Cool the cream at room temperature.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the walnuts and dry them in the microwave or in a frying pan. Grind the nuts with a blender.

Step 4

Step 4
Add softened butter and vanilla, chopped walnuts. Vanillin can be replaced with vanilla sugar. Read how to do this correctly in a separate article at the link after the recipe. Beat everything with a whisk or blender until smooth. Place the cream in the refrigerator to cool.

Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance; it should be at room temperature. Place softened butter cut into cubes in a deep bowl or saucepan. Add sugar, honey and soda. Read about all the nuances of working with soda in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Turn on the oven to 210 degrees.

Step 6

Beat the eggs into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Place the saucepan with the ingredients in a water bath.

Step 7

Step 7
Mix the ingredients with a mixer, blender or hand whisk until the mixture is homogeneous in consistency.

Step 8

Step 8
Without removing the pan with the dough from the water bath, pour half a glass of sifted flour into it. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished dough will be more tender and airy. Stir the mixture so that the flour does not form lumps.

Step 9

Step 9
Then remove the pan from the water bath and add the remaining flour. The sifted wheat flour must be added in parts, stirring the mixture each time. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need a little more or a little less. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 10

When the dough comes together, add a little flour to the table, place the dough on it and knead it a little until the dough becomes smooth, elastic and manageable.

Step 11

Divide the dough into 6 parts. Roll each part into a thin round layer.

Step 12

Step 13

Step 13
Take out the cake and immediately, while it is warm, cut out an even circle from it (you can use a plate). Bake all the cakes in the same way.
