Cake with boiled condensed milk
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This cake is very similar to the traditional and beloved Prague cake. The cream with condensed milk is richer and thicker, so I highly recommend soaking the cake layers with syrup—this can be a simple sugar syrup, fruit syrup, or one based on liqueurs, for example. The chocolate glaze is a special highlight of this cake. All sweet lovers should definitely try this recipe. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

9. Spread the remaining cream over the sides and top. Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours. Melt the chocolate and add a tablespoon of odorless vegetable oil. Pour the glaze over the top and leave the cake for another 3-4 hours so it sets well and becomes fully soaked. You can additionally decorate it with nuts or leftover cream, using a pastry bag to pipe it.
