Quick shopping, four ingredients, little effort, and an absolutely sensational cake. Today, we'll show you how to easily replenish your homemade supplies of deliciousness with a tasty, melt-in-your-mouth dessert. Delicious!

A cake doesn’t always have to mean a sophisticated bake with the addition of fruits, meringue, sponge cake, or crumble. Sometimes, simple solutions turn out to be the best, and it just so happens that we have a perfect example of this in store. A cake from four ingredients that you certainly won’t splurge on has recently become our favourite sweet treat. We are convinced that you’ll like it too.

This cake has another advantage. To make it, you won’t even need to turn on the oven. A refrigerator and a bit of patience are enough. Yes, no-bake cakes hold a special place in our culinary hearts, and every once in a while, we just love preparing them. If you’re also a fan, then run to the store for some pudding and biscuits, and take out the rest of the ingredients from the refrigerator. That’s all you need to create a delicious and inexpensive cake.

Inexpensive cake with a few ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 500g of biscuits,
  • 3 vanilla puddings,
  • 1 block of butter (250g),
  • 1 litre of milk,
  • optionally, if you want to go wild: 1 bar of chocolate + 100ml of cream.

How to Prepare:

  1. Mix the puddings with a cup of milk (around 250ml). Heat the remaining milk in a pot. Pour in the pudding mix. Cook and stir until the milk thickens. Let it cool down.
  2. Mix the butter. Gradually add the cold pudding to it.
  3. Line the form with baking paper. Place the first layer of biscuits on it, and pour a layer of the pudding mixture on top. Repeat this action until you run out of ingredients.
  4. Put the cake in the refrigerator. When it hardens, it will be ready to eat. Unless you want to enrich it with a chocolate topping. Then melt the chocolate in a water bath and mix with the cream. Pour the cooled topping on the cake and put it back in the refrigerator.
  5. Alternatively, you can also use cocoa for decoration. Enjoy!
