The classic homemade

As a child, I loved Milchschnitte, and even today they still remind me of happy childhood days. But when I read the ingredients, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up a little. I’d rather know what’s in them and simply make them myself. Enjoy! Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan/convection oven. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl until frothy, until doubled in volume. Fold the sugar and vanilla sugar into the egg mixture until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cocoa powder, wheat flour, and baking powder and mix everything into a light and fluffy batter. Spread this in a rectangular shape onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and then put it in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes. Be careful, check frequently to see if the batter is cooked through, so it doesn’t turn black on top. Then let the batter cool. Meanwhile, make the filling for this delicious Milchschnitte sandwich. Add the gelatin to the cream and beat until stiff. Trim the dry edges of the sponge cake and split the base in half. Spread one half with cream and place the other half of the base on top. Now cut your large Milchschnitte into small rectangles. PS: For more creative everyday recipes, check out my chef profile or YouTube channel “Hannah kocht einfach” (Hannah Simply Cooks).
