History of the Recipe

Kinder Milch Schnitte, an iconic dessert, was created to bring joy and comfort in every bite. Inspired by traditional cakes, this recipe quickly became popular due to its unique combination of textures and flavors. The airy base and velvety cream perfectly complement each other, offering an unforgettable culinary experience.

Step by Step - Preparing Kinder Milch Schnitte

1. Preparing the Base
- Start by separating the eggs. Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
- Beat the yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar using a mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light in color and frothy. This is the stage where air is incorporated, making the base fluffy.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, semolina, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the yolk cream, gently folding with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid losing air.
- Incorporate the milk, then the oil and honey. Ensure everything is well combined.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, similar to meringue. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture using folding motions to keep the air.

2. Baking the Base
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Prepare a baking tray (30x34 cm) with baking paper.
- Pour the mixture into the tray and level the surface with a spatula.
- Bake the base for about 12 minutes or until firm to the touch. It is essential not to open the oven door in the first few minutes of baking to avoid the base sinking.
- Once baked, let the base cool completely before removing the baking paper.

3. Preparing the Cream
- In a bowl, mix the condensed milk with 50 ml of milk.
- Hydrate the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Once hydrated, dissolve the gelatin in 50 ml of milk over low heat, stirring continuously until completely melted.
- Add the dissolved gelatin to the condensed milk mixture and mix well.
- Incorporate the honey and vanilla sugar.
- Whip the liquid cream until firm and gradually add the condensed milk and gelatin mixture. Gently mix to avoid losing volume.

4. Assembling the Cake
- Place the first base on a platter. Pour the cream over it and level with a spatula.
- Carefully place the second base on top and press gently to secure it.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the cream has set.

5. Serving
- Once the cake has cooled, cut it with a sharp knife to obtain even portions. Serve chilled, and it can be garnished with melted chocolate or fresh berries for added flavor.
