Easy Milhojas Cake (no-bake)

This Easy Milhojas Cake (no-bake) is perfect if you want a simple, rich, fast cake.Easy Milhojas Cake (no-bake)This year has been challenging. In recent months cooking has been difficult for me… now we’re back at home (after the flooding), but we still have workers every day, and the dust is relentless, and I prefer not to cook. So for my birthday cake, I made it ahead on Sunday and went as simple as possible.

Ultimately, I decided on a classic Chilean cake: Mil Hojas or Thousand Layers, but the cheat version used crackers. I always add a little sour jam-like rhubarb, plum, or raspberry, to go against the sweetness of the Dulce de Leche.

I made a little cake for four this year because no party or guests are expected. Torta de mil hojas con galletas de soda

    Hola Pilar!! Muchas gracias por la receta, la haré acá en Bélgica, crees que podrá resultar con galletas de waffle y mantequilla que son delgaditas?
    Tengo una duda, con respecto al alusa plast que colocas en la base del molde, también la pones dentro del aro del molde o por fuera del aro? Te pregunto esto porque me da miedo que la mezcla se pegue al aro si es que no pongo el alusa plast por dentro, pero espero tus recomendaciones.

    Saludos y muchas gracias por compartir esta receta!

      El alusa plas todo por dentro, incluído el aro, para que no se pegue. Sobre las galletas hay que probar, es la única manera de saber si resulta o no, puedes hacer un “pastel” chiquitito de prueba.
