Chocolate biscuit - recipes step by step with photos. How to cook a biscuit with cocoa in a slow cooker or oven. Biscuit with cocoa - a chocolate fairy tale! Homemade recipes for biscuits with cocoa: classic, boiled water, kefir, sour cream with cherries




Today I immediately selected 4 best recipes for making lush, tall, soft and fragrant homemade biscuits - classic (vanilla), poppy, chocolate and very beautiful biscuit - “red velvet” (in the photo below - just a cake with such a biscuit).

Tell me, dear reader, how do you feel about biscuits? Good? How are they for you? If mutual love and agreement with this fastidious type of pastry baking reigns in your kitchen, I can only be happy for you!

I didn’t have a relationship with him from the very beginning ... Sometimes there were successful attempts, but they were so rare that they weren’t worth mentioning ... Most often, instead of a tall, lush classic biscuit, I got something obscure and unconvincing ... Of course, any bad luck can be abundantly soaked with delicious cream, decorated better, and the cake will be joyfully destroyed by hungry guests and homemade ones, simply because homemade cake is ALWAYS tastier than store-bought. Maybe no one will even notice your jambs, but the sediment will remain ...

But a biscuit is the basis for delicious cakes and pastries, how can you cook them poorly?

Popular beginner mistakes when making homemade classic biscuit.

Having shoveled a dozen recipes and videos from experienced housewives who make lush biscuits "on the count of times", I made several important conclusions - how to cook a biscuit without mistakes. I'll be happy to share with you!

So the errors are:

  • We cook from products of different temperatures - it turns out that it is important to "balance in temperature" all the products that will be used
  • We do not follow the recipe - we take fewer eggs or put more flour, we take the products “by eye”, and do not weigh them ...
  • My typical mistake, as it turned out, is that I never sift flour! It turns out that this is very important for getting a magnificent biscuit - it is better to sift the flour not even once, but several times, so we saturate it with oxygen.
  • Beating eggs together is a mistake, although I have seen such recipes. Still, according to the classics, you need to separate the whites from the yolks and beat them separately, with a clean whisk, without mixing
  • Baking dish not prepared. I always cook the pan the right way - oil the bottom and sides, sprinkle with a little flour, or line with parchment for baking, so this mistake is not about me ...
  • Oven temperature: an error if you put a biscuit in an unheated oven. And a mistake, if you open the oven door before 20 minutes have passed from the start of baking - the dough may settle and no longer rise!

With this in mind, we will proceed to our wonderful biscuits.

Classic biscuit with vanilla

Let's start, of course, with the classics. Anyone who wants to can cook a fluffy, soft and fragrant classic sponge cake of 4 eggs - it is important to do everything according to the recipe, following the steps and measuring the components for the biscuit dough strictly according to the recipe.

  • Flour 120 gr.
  • Sugar 175 gr.
  • Egg 4 pcs.
  • Vanillin 1 sachet

  1. First of all, we will separate the yolks from the proteins, I hope you know how to carry out this simple procedure. We break the egg with one blow so that the shell cracks almost to the middle. Over the bowl, carefully break the two halves and drain the protein, throwing the yolk from one half of the shell to the other. You can simply pour the whole egg (whole, make sure that the yolk does not spread!) into a bowl and gently pick it up with a large spoon and put it in another bowl.
  2. It is believed that in no case should the yolk get into the protein bowl, even in a small amount, otherwise, they say, the proteins will not whip into a strong foam ... I don’t know for sure whether this is true, but I always try to break eggs over a separate bowl, and not over the general one, so that in which case, not to spoil all the proteins at once ...
  3. As already mentioned - the flour must be sifted without fail, and even - several times. This will give our biscuit extra splendor.
  4. We begin to beat the whites in a bowl at medium speed, gradually adding sugar in small portions. Whites are also whipped by hand, it just takes longer. And yet - it is advisable to take fresh eggs, and not old ones - they beat better.
  5. We stop whipping when a thick foam appears, so thick that if we turn the bowl upside down, our protein mass will not fall out anywhere, but will remain in the bowl! They also say "beat until stable peaks." This, you must understand, is such frozen cones that form on the beater, if you take it out of the bowl - our protein foam will stand like a stake on this very beater. From such a good foam you can bake meringue!
  6. Now put the oven on preheat - about 180-190 degrees.
  7. In the whites with sugar already whipped to the desired consistency, add 4 yolks - one at a time, continuing to beat.
  8. Now we will remove the whisk (or mixer) and arm ourselves with a spatula - we will gently and gently mix our mass with it, slowly adding flour and vanillin to it. Even in the photo you can see what an airy dough we got! This means that the biscuit will be lush and tall, the main thing is not to mess it up when baking.
  9. Lubricate the form and sprinkle with flour, if required for this form. Her sides should be high - the biscuit will greatly increase in height! If there is no high, cook from 2 parts on two different forms, but at the same time. Since this type of dough must be baked immediately after cooking, so as not to settle.
  10. We put in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 185 degrees.

  11. Leave the hot biscuit in the form until it cools completely. If necessary, cut a little from the sides with a sharp knife so that the biscuit is better separated from the walls.
  12. We did not use any baking powder for the dough, and the dough rose by almost 5 cm - an excellent result! A cake of this height can even be cut into 3 parts, and not into two, as usual.
  13. But first he needs to be allowed to settle. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

Such a properly infused biscuit will be easy to cut, almost meringue crumbs. This is what it looks like on a cut. Great result, right?

Very spectacular and beautiful biscuit - "Red Velvet"

For this unusual cake, we will have to use food coloring. I don’t really like this kind of additives, but I really liked the look of this biscuit - I have never seen anything like it! In my environment, too, no one ate such a cake, so those who like to surprise and like to treat with something original can use this recipe. Moreover, I will show everything step by step, with a photo, as it should be 🙂

What products are needed:

  • 110 gr. butter
  • 110 gr. corn oil (other is possible, the main thing is odorless)
  • 340 gr. flour
  • 10 gr. cocoa
  • 350 gr. Sahara
  • 2 eggs (100 gr.)
  • 230 gr. milk or kefir
  • 7 gr. baking powder
  • Red food coloring - we select the amount by color, if the dye is in the form of a gel, then no more than 10 gr.

This type of biscuit has not only a bright unusual bright color (and looks very impressive in any cakes), but also a bright pleasant taste.

Step by step work plan:

  1. Cut butter at room temperature into pieces and begin to mix with powdered sugar. Here we also add another type of oil - vegetable refined (so that there is no smell), you can corn.

  2. 2. Beat until airy. Due to the addition of vegetable oil, the mass turns out to be a little watery, but still the butter will give the necessary splendor. We begin to add eggs (pre-beat them with a fork) - pour in a thin stream into the bowl, continuing to beat.
  3. 3. Now mix all the dry ingredients and sift them through a sieve. Flour, baking powder and alkalized cocoa powder. This type of cocoa powder has a rich chocolate flavor. But if you have a different type of cocoa powder - just increase its volume by 10-15 grams, and flour - on the contrary, reduce by the same amount.
  4. 4. Now is the time to put the oven on preheat - 150 degrees.
  5. 5. Now, continuing to beat the bulk, we alternately introduce milk and a dry mixture with flour. At the same stage, add the dye - if it is dry, you can dilute it in milk, or you can add it to the dry mixture.

  6. 6. In the photo - added dye in the form of a gel. It also needs to be added "by eye", adding in parts and tracking the color of the dough, but not more than 10 grams of gel.
  7. 7. The color should turn out to be about this saturation. The only thing to keep in mind is that when baking in the oven, the color will become less saturated than in raw dough.
  8. 8. It is better not to bake this volume of dough in one form - it may not bake well due to the characteristics of the dough. It is best to distribute the entire volume into 3 forms (diameter 21 cm). But keep in mind that you will have to bake them at the same time so that the dough does not fall off. If this does not work out, for example, you have only one form, then it is better to knead each portion of the dough again before baking.
  9. 9. We set to bake for about 30-35 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees. The readiness of the biscuit is easy to check with a dry wooden stick (or match) - if we pierce

    10. We have 3 lush cakes - cut each in half and get 6 cakes. We will use one of them for sprinkling, so we break it into pieces and send it to dry additionally in the oven at 110 degrees for an hour.

11. Any butter cream goes well with this biscuit. Here's a beauty you can do -

Lush and fragrant biscuit with poppy seeds

Poppy biscuit has many cooking options. Sometimes it can turn out to be somewhat “heavy” ... But this recipe for poppy seed biscuit is chosen so that its structure is very tender and soft, while it is quite saturated with poppy seeds, which always gives the dough a unique taste and aroma. For this, in fact, he is so loved by many.

I also adore poppy seeds, since childhood, when my mother cooked a gorgeous poppy seed roll for the holidays. And by the way, we grew poppies ourselves in the garden, and it was very large, incredibly tasty in any pastry!

But I digress, let's continue. For this poppy seed biscuit recipe, we need the following:

products:

  • 90 gr. flour
  • 50 gr. dry poppy
  • 120 gr. Sahara
  • 4 eggs (200 gr.)
  • 20 gr. milk
  • 2 gr. baking powder
  • 20 gr. corn oil
  • 30 gr. cornstarch

  1. First, grind the poppy seeds in a blender so that it fully reveals its aroma and taste in baking. Many people advise pre-rinsing the poppy well in cold water and drying it completely before adding it to the biscuit dough (if the poppy seeds are wet, the biscuit may not rise). But I usually remember these recommendations already being "in the process" and therefore almost always just take a poppy from the package.

  2. Sift the flour several times through a sieve and mix with crushed poppy seeds.
  3. Don't forget to preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
  4. Eggs should be at room temperature so they beat easier. Start beating at medium speed and add a pinch of salt.
  5. Continuing to beat, add sugar in small portions. When half the sugar has already been added, increase the whipping speed and add the remaining sugar in one portion. Beat until our egg mass becomes airy and increases in volume by almost three times.
  6. In a tightly beaten egg mass in two or three additions, add a mixture of flour and poppy seeds. But we already stir everything very carefully, with a spatula, in manual mode, so as not to disturb the splendor and lightness of the mass and, ultimately, get an airy dough and a magnificent biscuit.
  7. Mix milk with vegetable oil and add to the dough. Also gently mix with a spatula from the bottom up.
  8. We shift the dough into a high form, level the surface. You can additionally slightly twist the form so that it is filled denser and more evenly.

We bake for 35-40 minutes at a temperature of 160 degrees. Check readiness with a wooden skewer - if dry, the biscuit is ready. Turn the form over and leave to cool in this form. Look what a beautiful, tall and soft biscuit we got. The height of this cake is 6.5 cm. If you do not smear it right away, then you need to wrap the biscuit in a film and put it in the refrigerator.

Chocolate biscuit with natural chocolate

The biscuit according to this recipe turns out to be "very chocolate", fantastically tasty! To be honest, it was a surprise for me that not ordinary cocoa powder, but real chocolate, from a melted chocolate bar, can be added to the chocolate cake dough. Apparently, this explains such a distinct taste of chocolate. Probably, for everyone's favorite legendary cake "Prague", just such a biscuit will give the best result.


For the chocolate biscuit, take:

  • 100 gr. flour
  • 100 gr. butter
  • 100 gr. Sahara
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 gr. chocolate (preferably bitter, with a high cocoa content)
  • 20 gr. vanilla sugar
  • 10 gr. baking powder

Step by step recipe for chocolate biscuit

  1. First things first, put the oven on preheat - 180 degrees.

2. Sift the flour together with the baking powder.

3. Mix room temperature butter with vanilla sugar until smooth.

4. Separate the yolks from the proteins.

5. Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place in a container over boiling water - in a water bath. Then cool the chocolate to about 28 degrees (when the mass is still liquid) and add to the butter. Knead.

6. Add the yolks one by one to the chocolate mass, constantly mixing thoroughly.

7. Whip the whites to persistent "peaks", into a thick, dense foam.

8. Combine the flour and chocolate mass - in several steps, mixing thoroughly each time.

9. Add the protein mass - in parts, constantly stirring the dough. The dough is airy.

10. Immediately lay out in the prepared form, align. For some reason, I often meet questions (more precisely, requests) “how to make a high chocolate biscuit with a diameter of 28 cm so that it is not flat.” 28 cm is a very large mold diameter, you need to take a lot of eggs and other ingredients for such a dough, and there is a high probability that the dough will not rise ... There are two options here. The first is to make 2 or 4 low cakes, each time making a new dough batch just before baking (because biscuit dough containing a lot of liquid can give sediment to the bottom layer and therefore bake poorly in large volumes). The second option is to bake biscuit single-layer rectangular cakes on a sheet (4 pcs.), And then cut them with a cutter knife into a shape with a diameter of 28 cm. You can already assemble a high chocolate cake of large diameter from them.

11. Send to the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees.

12. Here we have such a chocolate “handsome biscuit”!

And how fragrant it is, it magically smells of chocolate, probably, this is the smell that reigns in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory 🙂

Conclusion

We will be glad if you like to cook delicious sponge cake with chocolate filling, custard or chocolate icing according to our recipes. It will decorate any holiday table and will be remembered by your guests for a long time.

Step 1: Prepare the eggs.

To prepare a proper and fluffy biscuit, you need high-quality chicken eggs, which are carefully separated into yolks and proteins. We put the bowl with proteins in the refrigerator so that they have time to cool and beat better. And add to the yolks 100 grams of sugar. Then turn on the mixer at high speed and beat until a homogeneous creamy consistency. Then preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Remove the egg whites from the refrigerator and beat with a mixer until peaks form. First beat for a few minutes at low speed, then gradually increase it to maximum. Add the remaining 100 grams of sugar to the whipped proteins in parts and beat again with a mixer. We should get a stable protein mass that will not spill out if the bowl is turned over.

Step 2: Prepare the dough.


Sift cocoa with flour through a sieve into a large clean plate or bowl.
Pour the beaten yolks to the whites, gently mix from the bottom up so that the mass does not settle and gradually add the sifted flour with cocoa.

Do not mix the dough for a long time and thoroughly, otherwise the biscuit may not rise.

Step 3: Bake the biscuit.


Lubricate the baking dish with butter, spread the dough, put it in a hot oven and reduce the temperature to 170 degrees. We bake a biscuit 30 - 40 minutes until fully prepared. Open the oven door first 25 - 30 minutes not desirable, otherwise the risen biscuit dough may settle.

Readiness is checked with a toothpick, skewer or match. If traces of raw dough remain, then we continue to bake, if not, we take the hot chocolate biscuit out of the oven and leave it to cool in the mold.

After the cake has cooled a little, we shift it to a wire rack or a wooden cutting board, if necessary, the biscuit can be separated from the mold with a knife.

Step 4: Serve the chocolate biscuit.


The chilled chocolate biscuit is usually cut lengthwise into 2 or 3 thin layers.

And they prepare a wide variety of cakes: smearing the cakes with cream, whipped cream, syrup, condensed milk or icing and decorating with fruits, berries, nuts, grated chocolate or coconut flakes.

Although such a biscuit can be immediately decorated to taste and served as a pie for fragrant hot tea.

Enjoy your meal!

Approximately 200 grams of sugar and 150 grams of flour are placed in a regular glass with a volume of 250 ml.

To save time, you can not separate the eggs into yolks and whites, but immediately beat together with sugar at maximum speed for about 7-10 minutes. Then gradually add flour with cocoa, mix with a mixer at low speed for about 1 minute, pour the dough into a mold, cover with foil, and bake until fully cooked. It will be no less delicious.

To make the biscuit easier to get out of the mold, it is better to cover it with baking paper or foil, which must also be greased with butter or vegetable oil. And it is better to use a form with removable sides.

I will tell you a very simple recipe for a classic chocolate biscuit, which requires the simplest products. This is a classic cocoa biscuit. All it requires is eggs, flour, sugar and cocoa. This biscuit turns out to be lush, tasty, one biscuit can immediately be cut into three cakes and the chocolate cake is ready. And if you reduce the number of ingredients, then you can use it, for example, as the basis for a cake

How to make chocolate sponge cake

1 st. flour,

1 st. Sahara,

2-3 tbsp. l. cocoa

The classic recipe is made with six eggs. Do not look that I am baking from 4 eggs in the photo, I am making a small biscuit for the cake on purpose. You do the same, only with six eggs. You can increase and decrease the number of products yourself, the main thing is that it should be proportional. On a form with a diameter of 24 cm, I usually take 7-8 eggs.


1. Turn on the oven to 190 degrees, or whatever temperature you normally bake at. It will heat up while you make the dough. Separate the yolks and whites. So that the yolk does not get into the whites.

2. We begin to beat the whites, gradually increasing the speed, and then at the highest speed of the mixer. it is necessary to beat for quite a long time, about 15 minutes, it depends on how high the biscuit will be, since we do not use soda or baking powder. Don't add sugar yet! Proteins must be beaten to "hard peaks", that is, so that the patterns left by the mixer do not flow, but are motionless. A test to see if the egg whites are well whipped - you can turn the cup over and the whipped mass will remain in place. In the photo: until what state to beat the egg whites. Don't be afraid, it's impossible to kill them! Photo with inverted cup:



3. Now we continue to beat the whites, adding a little sugar. Add all the sugar.

4. Now beat the yolks with the same beaters. Not so long - but purely symbolically - about a minute or two, so that they increase slightly in volume.

5. Now sift the flour onto the whipped proteins, then pour the yolks there and sift 2-3 tbsp. spoons of cocoa.


6. Then gently mix all the ingredients, in no case with a mixer, otherwise the proteins may fall off. Stir with a spoon or silicone spatula. Movement should be from the bottom up, from the edges to the center. It doesn't take long to stir either. Since cocoa affects proteins and they can settle. If this happens, then still add a little baking powder (1 tsp). But usually everything works out so well.
