Cooking cakes

1. We send one egg to the bowl, add 120 g of sugar, grind with a fork, make the mixture homogeneous.
   
2. Then add the cottage cheese and rub it thoroughly. So that the mass turns out without lumps, it can be mashed with a pusher for mashed potatoes.
   
3. Then pour 200 g of flour, pour the baking powder on top. Mix the mass. At first it will crumble, but then with careful mixing it will gather in a lump.
   
4. Then we knead the dough with your hands on the work surface, adding a little flour. It should turn out to be a dense, uniform consistency. Immediately divide the dough into 8 equal parts, giving it a rest is not necessary.
   
5. We roll thin cake from one part and send it to a preheated, dry frying pan and fry on both sides until golden. While the first cake is fried, we can quickly roll out the second. To speed up the process, you can cook immediately in two pans. It is advisable to roll out cakes of approximately the same size, so that when forming the cake is uniform.
   
6. When all the cakes are ready, but not perfectly smooth, you can even the edges with the lid, pressing on the cakes. We will need trimmed leftovers for dusting.
   

Cooking cream

1. We heat half a glass of milk in the microwave or on the stove to a temperature of about 40 degrees. We take out the butter in advance from the refrigerator to make it soft. We send one egg, 120 g sugar, 2 tbsp. To a separate pan with a thick bottom. l flour. Mix the mass with a whisk to get a homogeneous mixture.

Making a cake

1. Put one cake on the dish, grease it with cream. For one cake you need about 3 tablespoons of cream. Put the next cake on top and grease too. This procedure is repeated with all the cakes.
   
2. Grind the remaining scraps with a knife or in a blender, add almond flakes to them and sprinkle the whole cake on top. Instead of almond flakes, walnuts can be used. If there are a lot of scraps from cakes, then you can sprinkle them only.
   
3. We send the cake in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or better all night. Then cut into portions and serve as dessert for tea or any other favorite drink.
