  • Milk
    80 G
  • Cognac
    50 ml
  • Apricot jam
    1 tbsp
Preparation

Step 1

Use all ingredients at room temperature so they'll mix better. If you want to make the soak without alcohol, simply omit the cognac. No other changes are necessary.

Step 2

We weigh the milk, measuring it out with a spoon, and then pour in the cognac.

Step 3

Now add the apricot jam. This is what's used for the original dessert, so don't substitute it with other flavors. In this case, you don't need to spread the jam between the cream layers.

Step 4

Mix everything with a whisk or spatula until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

Step 5

The Prague cake frosting is ready. Spread it evenly over the cake layers using a pastry brush.

Be careful with the impregnation
Prague cake is made with a chiffon sponge base. The butter ensures the layers stay moist. But if you let the assembled dessert sit and soak in the apricot jam, there's no need for soaking. If you use syrup, be careful not to overdo it, or it will become overly wet.
