Soda biscuit in a slow cooker. Biscuit with lemonade - fluffy! Options for lemonade sponge cake in the oven and slow cooker with the addition of fruits, berries and nuts

Modern housewives like to move a little away from traditional cuisine and try some interesting recipes using unusual ingredients. Very often, thanks to this, familiar and beloved dishes acquire a fresh flavor perspective. Do you know that there is a very original way to bake a sponge cake that will turn out fluffy and fragrant without much hassle? In this article we will tell you how to make lemonade sponge cake.

Why does this recipe have so many positive reviews?

You remember how biscuit dough is made, right? You need to separate the whites from the yolks, beat them separately, monitor the volume and consistency of the resulting foam and mix the ingredients very carefully, otherwise the cakes will not rise and bake. And yet, failure often awaits us: either the oven is heated unevenly, or someone slammed the door too loudly - and now the dough rises on one side and sag on the other. Sound familiar?

With lemonade, this problem disappears for you. Carbon dioxide will work no worse than yeast in yeast dough. The cakes rise high and evenly and are perfectly baked on all sides thanks to the delicate and airier structure of the dough.

Highly carbonated lemonade will not only make the dough airy and porous, but will also give the biscuit additional taste and aroma

Note! Only fresh, highly carbonated lemonade is suitable for this test. If the soda has run out of steam after sitting for even a little while without a lid, you won’t be able to use it for baking..

In addition, lemonade will add flavor and aroma to your sponge cake. You can use absolutely any sweet soda to your taste: citro, orange, cherry, cola, classic “Lemonade”, “Tarragon”, “Pinocchio”...

If you want a biscuit with a classic flavor, but the idea of ​​a tall, airy cake can’t get out of your head, use regular carbonated mineral water instead of sweet lemonade.

In which household device to bake a lemonade sponge cake is also not a fundamental question. Personally, from my own experience I have already realized that there is practically no difference. Both in the slow cooker and in the oven, the cakes rise and bake equally well. The main thing is not to forget the rule: after the end of the baking time, you cannot take out the biscuit immediately; you must leave it inside the switched off oven or in the multicooker bowl on the heating mode for some more time. For a slow cooker this is usually 60 minutes, for an oven - 20 minutes.

Ingredients

The standard set of products for a “carbonated” sponge cake differs little from the classic butter sponge cake dough. It consists of:

  • Sahara;
  • flour;
  • baking powder;
  • lemonade;
  • vegetable oil.

You can also bake a meatless or vegetarian sponge cake without eggs, or even a chocolate sponge cake. If you wish, you can add vanilla, cinnamon, and other spices to the dough.

Sugar, flour and eggs - the basis of biscuit dough

Don't forget the basic rules for making sponge cake, which will help you achieve great results.

  1. The container in which you will beat the eggs must be clean, dry and grease-free.
  2. It is better to grind the sugar into powder in a coffee grinder, so it will dissolve faster.
  3. Eggs should not be chilled. When whipping, add a little lemon juice and a pinch of fine salt to them.
  4. Be sure to sift the flour through a sieve so that it is saturated with oxygen, does not form lumps and gives the dough airiness.
  5. Do not open the oven door for at least the first 15 minutes of baking to prevent the cake from settling.
  6. If you have a convection oven, preheat it not to 180, but to 170 degrees.
  7. Place a container of water at the bottom of the oven - steam is needed to raise the dough.

“Air” recipes with photos

We will tell you in detail how to prepare several types of lemonade biscuits using an oven and a slow cooker.

Simple option

This cooking method is suitable for both the oven and the slow cooker. The only difference is the baking time and mode. The cakes turn out so airy and fluffy that they are easily soaked with cream, jam or cognac.

The lemonade sponge cake crust will be so tall that you can easily cut it into several pieces to make a cake

Take these products:

  • 3 cups without a slide of wheat flour;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 1.5 cups sugar;
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (refined);
  • 1 glass of lemonade;
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder.

By the way, if you want the biscuit to have a familiar taste with a slight hint of vanilla, take the Sprite drink.

Preparation:

  1. Prepare your food. Measure out the sugar and butter and remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance to allow them to warm to room temperature. You should open a jar or bottle of lemonade immediately before adding the drink to the dough so as not to reduce the carbonation.

  2. If you are going to bake in the oven, try to take the deepest form, or better yet, play it safe and add sides made of parchment or parchment.

    Since the dough will rise very high, the lemonade sponge tin should be deep enough, it is better to build up the sides using baking paper

  3. Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. This is the temperature it should be when you put the dough inside. Beat the eggs together with the sugar. It is not at all necessary to separate the whites from the yolks and add sugar separately. And too thick, stable foam is not important in this recipe.
  4. Now pour refined vegetable oil and lemonade into the mixture of eggs and sugar. Mix until smooth.

    Add lemonade and vegetable oil, continuing to stir the mixture

    Add flour and baking powder and gently knead the dough.

  6. Pour the dough into the mold and place in a preheated oven. The cake should bake for about 30 minutes.

    Pour the dough into the mold and place in the oven for half an hour

  7. After the oven is turned off, do not remove the biscuit from it, but leave it for another 20 minutes with the door closed. After this, you can remove the finished cake, cool it and put it out of the mold onto a dish.

This is how tall and fluffy the cake is after baking.

As you can see, such a cake can easily be cut into several parts to soak in cream, and you will have an excellent multi-layer cake.

Want to use a slow cooker? Then pour the dough prepared in the same way into the bowl, after greasing it with butter. Set the "Baking" mode and bake for 60 minutes without lifting the lid. Then, when the device beeps to switch to heating mode, mark another hour. At the end of this time, turn off the heating and take out the finished biscuit. Leave it in the bowl for 20 minutes to cool, then remove it and start decorating it.
