Today I want to invite you to cook a delicious homemade cake.
Twix cake is a viscous caramel and soft chocolate on a delicate crumbly base.
Also, according to this recipe, instead of cakes, you can cook 18 chocolates measuring 2 by 10 cm
You can watch a step-by-step video recipe in my video below
Let's cook
Let's start by making caramel.
Pour into a deep saucepan with a thick bottom
- 200 grams of sugar
- add 90 grams of butter
- 25 grams of natural honey
- 100 grams of thick natural yogurt. I have 10% fat thick Turkish yogurt. Yogurt can be replaced with thick, fatty sour cream
- a pinch of salt
- 2.5 grams of baking soda
We put to cook on the stove.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. Bring the mass to a boil.
When the mass boils, we make the fire minimal, and stirring with a spatula, we boil the mass for 8-10 minutes, until a beautiful amber color. I boiled the mass for 10 minutes.
The longer you boil the mass, the thicker it will be.
Remove the finished caramel from heat and stir until the boil stops.
Next, pour the caramel into a clean, dry dish, cover with cling film and put it in a cold place to cool to room temperature, and prepare a sand base ourselves.
Put in a bowl
- 110 grams of soft butter
- pour 30 grams of powdered sugar
- 5 grams of vanilla sugar
- add a pinch of salt
Stir until smooth. The powdered sugar and salt must dissolve completely.
Sift the butter and add 140 grams of wheat flour.
We knead the dough. Stir with a spatula until smooth. It is not necessary to knead for a long time, as soon as the dough has formed into a total mass, it is ready.
We shift the dough into a mold, I have a sliding form, I made a rectangle measuring 18 by 20 cm. If desired, you can bake in a square or round shape.
I covered the bottom and sides of the form with parchment paper.
We level the dough in shape.
We remove to bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden brown. My dough was baked for 20 minutes.
We shift it along with the form to the lattice.
Both the cake and the caramel should cool to room temperature.
Cover the cooled crust with caramel and smooth it evenly.
If you cook cakes, then we put this blank in the refrigerator until it solidifies, I usually put it away overnight.
If you want to cook chocolates, then remove the workpiece for about 1.5-2 hours in the freezer until it solidifies completely.
If the caramel has small air bubbles, you can pierce them with a wooden skewer.
We cover the workpiece with cling film, and we put it in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on what you plan to cook.
We will cover the cakes with soft chocolate icing.
125 grams of cream with a fat content of 30-35% should be heated to about 80 degrees.
Pour 100 grams of dark chocolate with 50% cocoa into the hot cream.
Pour so that the chocolate is completely covered with cream.
Let's wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate to melt.
And mix with a whisk until smooth.
The glaze is ready, cover the frozen caramel with glaze.
If you are making chocolate bars, melt 150 grams of chocolate and 20 grams of butter in the microwave or water bath for the icing, and stir until smooth.
Spread the glaze evenly over the entire surface.
On the slightly hardened glaze, we will make notches so that the cake looks like Twix.
We put it in the refrigerator until the glaze solidifies. The glaze hardens quickly enough.
When the glaze hardens, remove the mold.
With a hot, dry knife, we go along the edge, and free the blank from the parchment paper.
Cut into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the size of the cakes you want. And we serve it to the table.
If you cook chocolates, then when the workpiece freezes in the freezer, you cut it into cubes with a hot knife, and put the cubes in the freezer. Prepare the icing for the chocolates, and one at a time immerse the bar in the chocolate, take it out and put it on parchment paper, let the chocolate freeze completely.
