Yogurt Cakes - General Cooking Principles
• Yoghurt cakes can be attributed to low-calorie desserts, since most of them are sour-milk mass, based on yogurts. As a rule, for such cakes do not bake more than one cake, which is used as a base. Sometimes it is cut in half, into two thin, and the yogurt mass is spread between them. Often, the biscuit is broken into pieces, which are interbedded with a light base and additional components.
• For yogurt cake, you do not need to bake a sponge cake. If you do not want to bother with the dough, the base can be made from cookies or you can buy ready-made biscuit dough.
• Yoghurt mass for cake is made from drinking yoghurt and gelatin. There are no restrictions on the choice of fermented milk product, the main thing is that it is fresh. Using a drink with different flavors only diversifies the dessert.
• Thanks to gelatin, the stiffened yogurt mass holds its shape well and does not spread. Gelatin can be used both granular and sheet. It is poured with cold water and left for 20 minutes or more to swell. Then dissolve, warming up on a water bath or the lowest heat, and then cooled to room temperature.
• Neutral taste of the yoghurt mass when cooking cakes is usually set off by adding fruits and berries. They can be taken both fresh and frozen, canned too suitable.
• Yoghurt cakes are formed in containers that are lined with foil or parchment. For convenience, it is better to take detachable forms, especially if the yogurt mass needs to be laid out on a biscuit or biscuit base.

• Gelatin can be replaced with agar-agar. Algae extract thickener does not require soaking and warming. It keeps its shape well and freezes at medium room temperature.
• Melt gelatin on a fire or in a microwave oven much faster, but by slowly heating it in a water bath, you will get a better thickener.
• Gelatin can not be boiled, and even more boil. He loses his basic properties. If such a thickener is added to the prepared mass, it will not harden.
