The recipe for the “Milk Girl” cake came to us from Germany and immediately took its rightful place among other recipes. This is understandable, because “Milk Girl” is a lush, soft and fragrant cake soaked in cream. .
The cake has a characteristic aroma of condensed milk and fresh strawberries. This dessert is already good, but if you add a layer of strawberries, which will add a slight sourness, then this delicacy will not be worth the price.
According to the recipe, to prepare the “Milk Girl” cake you will need::
Preparation:
Beat eggs into condensed milk. 
Mix with a whisk until smooth.
Mix bulk products and sift into condensed milk and eggs.
Whisk everything again until smooth.
If the condensed milk is of good quality, the dough will be thick, like homemade sour cream. Leave the finished dough to rest for about 15 minutes, this way the cakes will turn out more fluffier.
Place 2 tablespoons of dough into a 20 cm diameter mold and smooth it into shape. Bake in the oven at 180C until golden brown.
Thus, use up all the dough.
If there is no mold of a suitable size, then you can take a sheet of parchment, draw a circle of the desired diameter on it, lay out the dough and smooth it along the contour of the drawn circle. After baking, the parchment should be removed immediately. Cool the baked crust on a wire rack.
If you are baking several cake layers at once, do not stack them immediately after baking, otherwise they will stick together.
Since the baked goods are quite sweet, it is best to use cream that is not too sweetened. For example, whipped cream and strawberries are great for condensed milk cakes.
Preparation of cream:
Beat the chilled cream well until stiff. Add powder and beat again. Take the first cake layer, put 2 tablespoons of cream on it, and smooth it out.
Arrange the strawberries cut into slices and place 1 tablespoon of cream on top, smoothing. Cover the top with the second cake layer.
Collect the entire cake in a slide. Lightly coat the top cake with cream (1 tablespoon).
Leave the assembled cake in the refrigerator according to the recipe to gain stability.
While the “Milk Girl” is “resting” in the refrigerator, we will prepare Swiss meringue or protein-custard cream to cover the cake.
Prepare a water bath. While the water is boiling, beat the whites together with the dry ingredients for 1 minute. Then place the bowl in a water bath so that the water does not touch the bowl and continue beating the whites at high speed (!) for 10-12 minutes. It is necessary to monitor the water so that splashes do not get into the bowl with the squirrels. During whipping, the whites acquire a dense and shiny base.
The recipe for “Milk Girl” comes from Germany.
In German its name is written and sounds like “Milch Mädchen.” This is nothing more than the famous German condensed milk– one of the oldest and high-quality brands.
Used to prepare the base of the cake, it gave the name to the baked goods.
For the traditional cake layers of the famous cake, you will need a minimum amount of ingredients - flour, eggs and an ingredient that determines the taste of the future culinary masterpiece - condensed milk.
Therefore, it must be the best and meet all possible standards.
There is no point in saving money and buying cheap ones - the taste of “Milk Girl” can be hopelessly ruined.
Each cake is baked independently. They should not be thicker than 1 cm. But you need a lot of cream, it will make the cakes soaked and moist. It is up to each pastry chef to decide which cream to choose. The classic is ice cream, but others will work just as well.

This recipe differs from the classic one in the modified composition of the cream and in a simplified baking method. and the use of dark chocolate when decorating. The cream contains boiled condensed milk, which gives the cake a caramel aftertaste.

Classic sponge cake recipe
If you want to taste a real legendary dessert, then first of all you should “make friends” with the traditional recipe for biscuits for the “Milk Girl”.
The set of ingredients is always the same.
But the methods for baking cakes may differ.
If previously biscuits at home could only be baked in the oven, modern housewives can use different devices.
A slow cooker, for example, will be very helpful and will allow even beginners to make a delicious cake.
Ingredients:
- regular condensed milk – 1 can/400 g
- chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
- wheat flour – 180-200 g
- baking powder – 1/2 tsp.
Preparing biscuits step by step:
- Before starting the culinary action, let's prepare all the ingredients: open a can of condensed milk, sift the flour with the required amount of baking powder.
- Beat the eggs into foam using a blender or food processor.
- Carefully combine them with condensed milk, mixing by hand.
- Add flour to the mixture, gently knead the dough (this must be done carefully, from bottom to top, without haste).
- We bake in a multicooker on the Baking mode.” If desired, you can line the bottom of the multi with baking paper. One cake requires 6-7 spoons of dough (the amount will be different when using different models of the miracle saucepan!). Baking time in a slow cooker is 20 minutes for each cake.
When cooking in the oven (180 minutes, 10-15 minutes for each cake), you will need not only a mold or baking sheet, but also baking paper or a silicone mat (it is better to buy one with markings).
You can also bake cakes in a frying pan. The process is reminiscent of frying pancakes - it’s also better to take a non-stick frying pan or don’t forget to grease it before each “pancake”. Be sure to bake covered over low heat. There is no need to turn it over - as soon as the top sets, remove it immediately.
Creams for “Milk Girl”
Eat several cream options to suit the taste of cakes baked with condensed milk. Cream ice cream, sour cream, curd, caramel, cream cheese - all these creams are used in the preparation of “Milch Mädchen”. Each of them imparts a unique and special taste to baked goods.
Any of these creams can be combined with fruits and berries. You can take any of them as a tasty and aromatic berry-fruit layer: peaches, strawberries, cherries, mixes of forest and garden berries, bananas, kiwi. Peaches and bananas are good caramelized, mixes are gelled, cherries are in syrup, liqueur or cognac (an option for adults!), strawberries are fresh.
Assembling “Milch Mädchen” is as easy as shelling pears – spread the cooled cakes with cream, adding fruits, nuts or berries if desired. Here's a good example video:

Holidays or regular weekends are approaching... And we feverishly begin to think about how to diversify the dinner table with a new delicious dish. Many households, especially children, ask for a sweet and creamy dessert, so once again you need to open the cookbook in search of a recipe for a high-quality and inexpensive cake. A good option for all housewives would be “Milk Girl” - a biscuit product that even the most notorious gourmets will like.
What kind of cake is this?
I can immediately say that this is an amazing dessert: light and airy. “Milk Girl” is a cake whose recipe can be found in any cookbook; moreover, it does not require much effort from the housewife, being quite simple and straightforward to prepare. Even green beginners in the culinary business will be able to cope with it adequately if they follow all the recommendations.
By the way, the cake received such an unusual and funny name thanks to German condensed milk: “Milch mädchen”. It was the Berlin women who came up with a recipe in which one of the ingredients was this sweet product. Their idea was quickly picked up by housewives all over the world: they liked the product so much that women began to willingly prepare it for their families, not forgetting to experiment and add their own twist to the dessert. As a result, we got an improved “Milk Girl” cake. Reviews about the dessert are very positive, so be sure to add it to your next weekend menu.
Ingredients
There are not so many of them in the classic recipe. For the test you need to buy one jar of condensed milk (500 grams). You will also need sour cream - about 8 tablespoons, flour - 250 grams (one and a half cups), eggs - 2 pieces, baking powder - 1 package and starch - 2 tablespoons. Experienced housewives claim that the last component can be replaced with ground coconut, semolina or another type of flour - rye or corn, which will also give a certain rich color to the baked cakes. Although, if you forget the starch, it's okay. Biscuit dough can do without it.
The recipe for a delicious homemade cake allows the use of various creams - to suit your taste. But sour cream is ideal for “Milk Girl”: this fact should be taken into account. The first time it is better to use the classic filling; later you can experiment by making it chocolate, creamy or custard. Therefore, to prepare the cream, use sour cream - 600 ml, powdered sugar - 1 cup and vanilla sugar, if desired. You need to stock up on powder made from crumbs of waffles, cookies, nuts, as well as a silicone mat or baking paper.
Making the dough
Once all the ingredients have been removed from the kitchen drawers and neatly laid out on the work table, you can begin preparing the cakes. First, mix condensed milk and eggs until smooth. You can help yourself with a fork or whisk: by beating the ingredients with them, you will quickly achieve the desired result. But in this case it’s better not to use a mixer. Then add flour to this substance, which we first sift through a sieve and combine with baking powder. Mix well. You should have a dough of the same consistency as for pancakes. If you let it sit for 15 minutes, it will become thicker and more elastic.
“Milk Girl” (cake) does not require a special baking dish. The recipe allows for the use of special paper for these purposes: we cut out identical round pieces from it. You can make them using a plate and a simple pencil: one “paper cake” should not exceed 20-25 centimeters in diameter. If you decide to use a silicone mat, its advantage is that it is reusable. And the finished dough comes off better from such material and does not stick to its surface.
Baking
While you are working on the dough, the oven should be slowly warming up. Before you start working, turn it on, setting the temperature at 180-200 degrees. The recipe for a delicious homemade cake says: the cake layers for the product should be baked one at a time. To begin, place the first piece of paper or silicone mat on a baking sheet, place 2-3 tablespoons of dough in the center, distribute it evenly over the pan and bake. It takes an average of 5-7 minutes to prepare one “pancake”.
When the surface of the cake reaches a pleasant golden hue, it should be removed from the oven and carefully separated from the parchment. If left as is, it may stick to the paper a lot. You can help yourself with a knife or a special spatula. Place the finished crust on a tray. The remaining parts of the dough should be baked according to the same principle: in total you should get 6-7 layers of the future product. The more of them, the tastier the “Milk Girl”. The cake, the recipe for which is simple, can be made even from 10-12 floors.
Preparing sour cream
As already mentioned, the cake can be prepared with any cream. But based on the reviews of enthusiastic gourmets, we conclude that the sour cream filling suits our product perfectly. And it’s as easy as shelling pears to make: no cooking or long-term cooling. Simply use a mixer to beat sour cream and powdered sugar into a fluffy mass. The cream should be thick and airy. We use a package of vanilla sugar as a flavoring, which we add before whipping.
“Milk Girl” is not afraid of experiments. The cake, the recipe for making it, the main ingredients - you can “play” with all this, bringing something new and unique to the dessert. This will not spoil it, if, of course, you follow the basic rules of cooking technique. So, instead of vanilla sugar, you can add ground hazelnuts - for a nutty aroma, citrus zest will cause a pleasant lemon or orange smell, a little cinnamon - a spicy and divine bouquet. Remember, if you don't have sweet powder, it can be easily made from regular sugar in a coffee grinder or blender. And most importantly: the finished cream must be put in the refrigerator before greasing the cakes: it will become tastier and thicker.
Chocolate and fruit options
If you want the cakes to be dark, but the cream remains white, you can make a small adjustment using a simple component. To do this, add 50 grams of ordinary cocoa powder to the sifted flour. Grated chocolate will also give the cakes the appropriate taste and color, so you can use it without fear when baking a cake. If you want a dark cream and a white base, then you need to mix powdered sugar with two tablespoons of cocoa and beat this mixture with sour cream. The result will be a slightly modified “Milk Girl” cake - chocolate. Everything, as you can see, is quite simple and fast.
Instead, fruit lovers have a wider field to experiment with. Strawberries, cherries and bananas go well with sour cream or chocolate cream. We cut them into thin slices just before assembling the product, so that they do not let in excess juice. A very tasty cake “Milk Girl” with peaches and pineapples. The use of wild blueberries and sweet kiwi as a filling adds originality to the dessert.
Product assembly
For the base of the cake, choose the strongest and thickest cake layer. We generously grease it with a ball of cream: most of it should be in the middle, so that when stringing the “floors” the filling does not come out on the sides. If you are preparing a fruit cake, then after the sour cream layer, add prepared bananas, peaches or any wild berries. We also coat them well with cream so that the other cake layer is better and more firmly placed on the previous one. Using this method, we collect the entire dessert.
You can decorate it in any way. Hiding the “Milk Girl” cake under mastic is a good option, but not every housewife knows how to prepare culinary clay. Of course, you can buy it, but it’s still a lot of hassle. You also need to be able to roll out the mastic beautifully in order to evenly cover the product with it and sculpt figures for decorations. Therefore, I advise you to simply coat the top and edges of the cake with cream, sprinkle with chopped nuts or confectionery crumbs. Desserts topped with chocolate glaze or jelly look festive. Fantasize. After all, the result depends only on your imagination and skillful hands.
