There are several factors that make snowflake cakes too sweet: 1. The sugar content of the marshmallow you choose. You can buy lower-sugar marshmallows. 2. The cookies you choose are sweet. 3. The milk powder you chose is too sweet!

There are several key points to making a good piece of snowflake cake:

1. The softness and hardness of snowflake cake are seasonal. In summer, when the temperature is high, make it harder, and in winter, when the temperature is low, make it softer. , this can ensure the taste! The softness and hardness of the snowflake cake is controlled by two aspects. One is the amount of butter. If you put more butter, the snowflake cake will be soft, otherwise it will be hard! Secondly, the marshmallows are tender when fried. When the marshmallows are just melted, they are relatively tender. At this time, the snowflake cake made from the ingredients is relatively soft. If the marshmallows are fried for a longer time, the snowflake cake will be correspondingly hard.

2. Delicious snowflake cakes generally need to be made with salty biscuits, and the biscuits must be crisp and not brittle. You cannot choose soda biscuits and crispy biscuits, which are brittle during shaping and have a bad taste. It's pink and not tasty.

3. Try to choose full-fat milk powder when making snowflake puff pastry. The finished product will have a rich milky aroma! If you don’t like sweet foods, you can choose lactose-containing milk powder or low-sugar milk powder.

The prepared snowflake pastry needs to be eaten as soon as possible, because the biscuits absorb moisture easily and cannot be refrigerated, so they can be stored in the freezer!

Super simple snowflake cake! How to make it

The first step is to prepare the ingredients! This is my first time making snowflake cakes (and my first time eating them, hehe). Personally, I feel that I put a little too much marshmallows. If you don’t like sweets, I suggest you add more cookies or reduce the marshmallows (of course, if you reduce the amount of marshmallows) The amount of marshmallows should also be reduced by the amount of butter)

Because the marshmallows I bought are relatively large, I split them in half to melt them more easily

Turn on low heat and add butter. When the butter is almost used, you can add the marshmallows (the whole process is done on low heat)

Mix the marshmallows and butter thoroughly. Because it is the first time to make it, I don’t dare to take pictures with my phone while distracted. After the marshmallows are melted and mixed thoroughly, it will turn light yellow (I found a similar picture on the Internet)

When the mixture is almost complete, turn off the heat and stir in the milk powder!

After the milk powder is mixed evenly, add dried nuts and small round cakes

Then put the mixed product in a non-stick container to shape. I used a pound cake mold. , you can sprinkle milk powder on it after it is set!

Then cut! Cut to the size you want
