Milk Girl Cake Soak
This cake with an unusual name originated in Germany thanks to the popular brand of condensed milk, Milchmädchen, which translates as "Milk Girl." The cake layers are made with condensed milk and turn out very dry. So, every pastry chef initially comes up with the idea of soaking them.

The soaking of the "Milk Girl" cake layers should perfectly match the concept of the dessert. Typically, it's a delicate, multi-layered cake with buttercream. Therefore, the syrup should be either neutral or milky. It's the latter option that I suggest.
It only takes a couple of minutes to create the soak. Even then, be sure to use only a thick-bottomed pan to avoid burning the syrup and ruining the cake's overall flavor.

Milk200 ml
-
Sugar3 tbsp
-
Vanilla extract0.25 tsp
Place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and, if desired, add vanilla or any flavoring you prefer. Or skip this ingredient for a classic "Milk Girl" cake without any aftertaste.
Pour in milk and heat over low heat, stirring with a spatula until the sugar is completely dissolved.
The "Milk Girl" impregnation is ready. Let it cool to room temperature and then use it according to the recipe.

If you're too lazy to cook anything and want to get the soaking done quickly, consider this option. It's perfect for the "Milk Girl" recipe because it uses leftover condensed milk. Unless, of course, you drink it when no one's looking...
Do you need to soak the Milk Girl cake layers?
The classic cake recipe doesn't call for soaking the layers. Instead, the cream cheese or whipped cream is supposed to soak the dough and provide sufficient moisture while the assembled "Milk Girl" sits in the refrigerator for several hours. This creates the dessert's smooth, creamy flavor.
However, if you don't have enough cream or it's too thick, you can soak the cake layers additionally. However, in this case, the cake will be slightly less stable than it should be using the traditional method.
