Cake "5 spoons".
author @id164412600 (Aliya Aliya)
Girls and boys - due to its simplicity and speed, this cake recipe is for schoolchildren, students, working mothers and anyone who is pressed for time and really wants a delicious cake or roll.
The mother of a close friend shared this recipe with me in the early 90s, for which I am very grateful to her. It is so simple that it is remembered the first time and forever.
Well, the most important thing is that it’s very tasty (no wonder its original name is “Finger-lickin’ good”) and it always works out, so I confidently recommend it as a first culinary experience.
It is also perfect as a base layer for many popular cakes, since it turns out airy, tender and porous, does not crumble and cuts perfectly.
You will need:
2 eggs
5 tbsp. Sahara
5 tbsp. milk powder
5 tbsp. flour
1/3 tsp. soda (slaked)
vanillin
Note: it is better to take large eggs and heaped spoons, but without fanaticism. (who doesn’t like very sweet things, you can put sugar on spoons “under the knife”). Slaked soda can be replaced with 1 tsp. baking powder by adding it to the flour.
In case of emergency, milk powder/cream can be replaced with baby formula or natural cream, slightly increasing the amount of flour. But this will be a different recipe and a different cake.
How to cook:
1. Beat eggs and sugar with a mixer until fluffy. Stir in the remaining ingredients, pour onto a greased baking sheet and place in a COLD oven at 180 degrees.
2. Bake for 10-15 minutes until done, depending on the oven (some take up to 30 minutes) and the size of the pan.
For a thin roll spread over a wide sheet, 7 minutes is enough!!!
The dough should flow slowly, like thick condensed milk. 
Flour can be different, sometimes you need to stop a little earlier - at 4 or 4.5 tablespoons of flour. If the dough turns out thicker than in the photo, dilute it with milk, sour cream or cream to the desired consistency.
ALL! The program has been at least completed. You can eat it already in this form. The size of the mold is 30 * 22.5, if you roll it up it will be too small. You need more, but for the crust it’s just right.
And then comes the maximum program. The options depend on the contents of your refrigerator and your imagination. Let me just say that in 20 years of making this cake, I have never repeated myself.
I added all imaginable and inconceivable additives to the dough - honey, cocoa, chocolate, poppy seeds, raisins, dried fruits, vanilla, mint, etc. etc. I soaked it in syrups from canned compotes or fruit syrups. I spread it with jam, preserves, condensed milk, curd dessert, yogurt, chocolate pudding and sour cream whipped with sugar.
My favorite impregnation is any fruity, sour one. Decorated with marshmallows, marmalade, fruits. There is no limit to imagination.
It can be baked like a zebra and rolled into a roll. Cut into brownies. This dough makes delicious charlottes and fruit pies. The most important thing is the lightning speed of preparation and the absolute availability of products.
Bon appetit!

Cake "5 spoons". Step by step recipe

- Grease a baking sheet with oil and pour out the dough.
- Place in a cold oven, which then turn on at 180°C.

That's all. I hope this recipe will take root in your family, as it did in mine.

The “5 spoons” cake got its name due to the fact that to prepare each cake we use products that we take in the amount of 5 tablespoons. This number of products is very convenient to remember.
Another interesting feature of this cake is that the dough should be placed in a cold oven and only then turned on. At the same time, not surprisingly, the cake turns out tender, airy, cuts perfectly, and does not crumble. This cake layer is perfect as a base for many cakes. This dough also makes excellent rolls that do not break and roll well.
You can choose the cream for such cakes according to your wishes. Spoons should be heaped small and large eggs should be used. The dough should be approximately the thickness of raw condensed milk. If the dough turns out to be thicker (features of a particular flour), then it should be diluted with milk or cream to the desired thickness.
Incredibly quick and very tasty sponge cake “5 spoons” can be considered a classic of the culinary genre.
You can prepare it in just 30 minutes - this is an excellent solution for anyone who has little time, but really wants and really needs to cook something delicious! If you don’t have any ingredient for decoration on hand, you can safely replace it with what you have on hand. Experiments and flights of fancy are welcome in our business.
