Biscuit cakes - useful tips from experienced chefs
Soaking biscuits in milk before laying in layers, do not overdo it, letting the cookies soak them! Otherwise you will not be able to lay it beautifully on the dish. The optimal time for keeping cookies in milk can be considered no more than 20 seconds. For placing soaked biscuits on a dish is best to use a thin spatula.
When making a biscuit cake, it is better to cover the dish with a piece of thin oiled parchment paper, so that later the cake could be easier to cut into portions.
It is better to set the dish on which the biscuit is pre-soaked in milk, slightly sloping, so that excess milk is removed.
Do not neglect the advice to give the finished cake to infuse in the refrigerator. This is necessary so that the cookies are well soaked with cream and the taste of the product becomes more saturated.
