No-Bake Cake, in Frying Pan

Elena Butuc

Today I want to show you another ingenious, quick and delicious recipe - this fantastically good pan-fried cake. It's made, of course, with ingredients at hand. The idea is very simple. You just need to make some cake sheets in the pan, some thicker and fluffier pancakes. As a result, you'll get a very fragile, soft and fragrant cake. Even I did not expect such a special result.

You can choose the filling you like for this pan cake. I went for the classic version with fatter fermented cream and a little sugar, plus some sour cherry jam. You can fill it with vanilla cream, combined cream of mascarpone and sour cream or cheese, fruit cream etc.

You can also make the cake with chocolate. Just replace some of the flour with cocoa powder, about 3 tablespoons. Then use a chocolate pudding or ganache and enjoy.

The recipe is for a cake about 28cm in diameter, which means I used a pan of this size for the sheets. If you have a smaller pan, you can slightly reduce the ingredients. By the way, in our Bylena app there is a button that will help you do this faster.
