Pancho Cake - Tips and Tricks
• If the cream turned out too thick, then you do not need to moisten the pieces, otherwise the prescription number is not enough. In this case it is better to lay out the sliced pieces of biscuit in layers, to coat with a standard method.
• Cake can be prepared with other types of nuts, but they also need to pre-fry. Only peanuts behave not very well inside the dessert: it becomes limp, the aroma is lost, the taste becomes similar to raw beans.
• If you need to speed up the process of soaking the assembled Pancho cake, then the dessert should be allowed to stand for a couple of hours in the heat, then put in the fridge for an hour.
• Fresh sponge cake does not absorb cream well. It is recommended to prepare the cake layers the day before the cake is assembled so that they can rest.
