  • Dough
  • Half a kilo of flour or 250 grams
  • 1 egg
  • 1 can Nestlé sweetened condensed milk 395 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Put the eggs, vanilla, flour, milk, and honey on the heat, and when the mixture boils add the butter and turn off the heat
  2. Stir occasionally until the butter melts
  3. Let the cream cool well
  4. Start making the dough: put the flour with the Nestlé, vanilla, and egg and knead until you obtain a cohesive dough
  5. Roll the dough into 5 rounds, then brown each round separately in a pan on both sides until cooked
  6. When the dough rounds have cooled, spread a little cream on each round and stack them in sequence — round, cream, round — one on top of the other until the quantity is finished
  7. Reserve a little cream aside
  8. Melt a chocolate bar, add it to the reserved cream and mix well, then pour the chocolate cream over the top of the Russian cake
  9. When the Russian cake has cooled, place it in the refrigerator to chill well before serving
