In the 1970s, the meter car dominated every event. It consisted of light and dark sponge cake layers layered with custard and butter cream. Covered in chocolate, it tasted simply amazing. Moreover, it looked beautiful on the table – the meter-long cake was cut diagonally and showed alternating layers.
Such a cake will also work well for important celebrations, e.g. This time, however, we will focus on its faster version. Make a no-bake meter cake before going to the cemetery, and it will have time to cool and set when you return. It will be perfect for your afternoon coffee.
A classic meter train requires a lot of work. In addition, confectionery mishaps may occur during its preparation, e.g. an under-risen sponge cake or a curdled cream. So it’s better to play it safe and prepare a quick no-bake cake for All Saints’ Day with biscuits and a simple, more stable filling of cream and mascarpone.
What ingredients do we need to make a no-bake meter cake? Here is the list:
- 500 ml of cream 30%;
- 250 g mascarpone;
- 200 g light biscuits;
- 200 g of dark biscuits;
- 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
First, beat the cream with powdered sugar. Then add mascarpone a spoonful and beat until smooth and stiff.
In the next step, start assembling the no-bake meter cake: place alternating light and dark biscuits in a cake tin, layering them with the previously prepared cream.
Finally, you can cover it with chocolate icing (you can make it by melting 1 chocolate bar with 1 tablespoon of butter). Wrap the prepared, quick, no-bake cake in foil and put it in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. Cut the dessert in the same way as a classic meter cake, i.e. diagonally.
