1. CLASSIC METHOD OF PREPARING ANANTHILL CAKE In this article we will share with you the secrets of making a wonderful cake with the intriguing name Anthill, and also tell you how to make this dessert dish in different ways. In addition to video lessons, you will find on this page a step-by-step classic recipe with photos of the stages of preparing a delicious cake made from cookies, with the addition of nuts, dried fruits, and coconut.
Anthill cake can be prepared as a dessert, both for a traditional tea party and for any festive event in the family - children will be especially happy with this delicacy! Many boys and girls prepared a similar sweet dish in Soviet times, mixing crispy cookies with cream and condensed milk, and then creating a “sweet tooth mound” from this sweet mass. What are the most common ingredients added during the preparation of this cake? Typically, the “Anthill” includes condensed milk with cocoa (or regular condensed milk from a can), shortbread dough, chocolate cream (or grated dark chocolate), as well as walnuts or hazelnuts, raisins, and coconut flakes. But in order to prepare dessert quickly, many housewives use crushed cracker cookies (unflavored) to prepare dessert dishes. ◘ 6 useful secrets for making dessert cake: (1). Natural forest honey will give Anthill a special taste if you replace sugar in the cream with it during operation; (2). Instead of purchased concentrated flavors, use vanilla, lemon zest or good cognac (if the dessert is not intended for a children's feast); (3). To make the sweet mass, do not grind the dough in a meat grinder, but pass the frozen dough through a grater; (4). Usually, sour cream is indicated in Anthill cake recipes, but the delicacy will be tastier if you prepare the dough with kefir (you can add 4-5 tablespoons of kefir); (5). As a rule, coconut and chocolate chips are used to decorate the cake. But we recommend adding dried apricots, marmalade, raisins and dried fruits to decorate the dish, and also use sugar mastic to decorate the top of the Anthill (make flowers, patterns, figures); (6). A homemade cake will look great if at the end of the work you pour it with liquid chocolate or icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts. 2. STEPS OF PREPARING HOMEMADE CAKE FOR DESSERT Anthill cake can be prepared in 4 stages: • first prepare the dough according to a special recipe, and then grind it; • after that we make a sweet homemade cream (high-quality butter + condensed milk) and knead the crushed and baked dough into it; • give the dessert cake the shape of an anthill; • decorate the cake with nuts, liquid or grated chocolate, and coconut flakes. Let's look at all the stages in more detail: STAGE 1 - DOUGH We recommend making shortbread dough, rather than using purchased and crushed cookies, so as not to disturb the taste of the prepared cake. So, for shortcrust pastry we will need the following ingredients: 3-4 cups of premium wheat flour, 150 gr. sour cream, 200 gr. soft butter, half a teaspoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and half a glass of sugar, a handful of vanilla sugar. First you need to melt the butter and mix it well with sugar and salt. Now add sour cream and beat the mixture with a mixer. Sift the flour and baking powder evenly through a sieve and add portions to the prepared mixture. After this, you need to knead the cake dough so that it is not sticky. Place the prepared mixture in the refrigerator. When the dough hardens, twist it in a meat grinder or pass it through a grater with large holes. We have prepared the dough for the Anthill. Now we will turn the strips of dough into shortbread crumbs. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the dough strips evenly on the foil on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for twenty minutes. The dough should turn into golden brown crackers. When the dough has cooled, crumble the dough strips. STAGE 2 - CREAM To prepare the cream, we need a can of whole condensed milk and butter (the same amount as condensed milk - in a 1:1 ratio). Place a can of condensed milk in a deep saucepan and fill it with water so that the can is completely hidden. After this, put the pan on the stove and boil the condensed milk for about two hours. Now you MUST cool the contents of the jar before opening it. You can put it under cold running water. Now mix the boiled condensed milk with melted butter using a mixer. To do this, start whipping the butter first, and add condensed milk little by little, in small portions. STAGE 3 - CAKE It's time to create a sweet cake in the shape of an anthill from our homemade preparations. Using a small scoop, add the cream to the crumbs in portions, and carefully mix everything with a tablespoon. The resulting mass will somewhat resemble clay in consistency. Place the mixture on a wide dish and give it the shape of an anthill. The cake should cool thoroughly, then put it in the refrigerator for 1.5 - 2 hours. STAGE 4 - CAKE DECORATION At this stage, you can show your imagination and decorate our Anthill at your own discretion. You can draw interesting patterns and themed designs with icing or sweet cream. And sprinkle the cake with nuts, raisins, coconut crumbs, and grated chocolate on top. 3. CLASSIC RECIPE FOR PREPARING ANANTHILL CAKE WITH PHOTOS OF STEPS OF WORK Ingredients: 400 gr. butter, 500 gr. wheat flour, 2 chicken eggs, 150 ml. milk, 1 can of condensed milk, 2 teaspoons of baking powder. How to cook: First, cook condensed milk in a jar (above we told you how best to do this at home). At this time, prepare the shortbread dough. Add milk, flour, eggs, baking powder to the butter and mix everything. To make the cake fragrant, you can add lemon zest and vanillin to the dough at this stage.

Cake with condensed milk
The most satisfying and tasty is considered to be an anthill with condensed milk from homemade cakes. It takes more time to cook, but the result is amazing.
Ingredients for cooking:
- — chicken egg – 2 pcs.;
- — milk – 1.5 cups;
- - baking powder for dough - 2 teaspoons;
- — butter – 400 g;
- — premium flour – 500 g;
- - condensed milk - 400 gr.
Recipe:
Let's start the recipe by kneading the dough.
- Place 200 grams of butter and eggs in a bowl. After this, pour in the required amount of milk and mix everything thoroughly. Then add baking powder and knead the dough, preferably not too thick. Place it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- When the allotted time is up, take out the dough. Lightly grease the prepared baking sheet with oil (you can simply cover it with parchment) and place small pieces of dough on it, tearing them off from the main lump. Then place the baking sheet in the oven (180 degrees) for 15 minutes. Please note that all the dough is baked in this way.
- Prepare the cream. Take a deep bowl and place the remaining amount of butter in it. Using a mixer, beat it, then add boiled condensed milk and beat the cream again until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
- Form the cake. Any lumps of dough you notice can be left in their original state, or they can be crushed. Mix the dough with the prepared cream. Place the base of the cake in a thick mound on a wide dish (try to give it a more neat shape). If desired, the top of the cake can be decorated with pieces of grated chocolate or sprinkled with poppy seeds.
- When all the preparatory procedures are completed, put the “anthill” in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
The hearty dessert is ready, you can treat your guests.
Nuances of preparing Anthill
In the question of how to prepare an Anthill cake, the main role is played by the availability of all the ingredients and the time that you are willing to spend on cooking. The Anthill recipe with condensed milk involves different types of base. You can prepare the dough for the Anthill, or you can make a cake without baking.
Dough for Anthill
Anthill dough is prepared from flour, butter, sugar and sour cream. In some cases, sour cream is replaced with a quarter glass of milk.
The finished dough is usually rolled through a meat grinder to obtain thin twigs. They are the ones who form the Anthill cake. If you don’t have a meat grinder, you can roll out the dough into a layer, cut into strips and bake. Some housewives advise pinch off small pieces of dough and form them into balls or sausages.
But the latter method takes a lot of time. There is a faster way to form brushwood from dough. You need to freeze the dough ball in the freezer and grate it on a coarse grater. Afterwards the dough is baked as in the classic recipe.
Is it possible to make Anthill cake without butter, just condensed milk?
Some housewives replace butter in cream with sour cream. The main thing is to achieve the desired consistency of the cream so that the cake can harden and not spread or crumble.
How long should Anthill cake remain in the refrigerator?
Experienced cooks advise leaving the Anthill in the refrigerator overnight. The range of time for each housewife is quite large - from 3 to 12 hours.
If you are preparing a quick Anthill cake, then 30-40 minutes will be enough for soaking and hardening.
The Anthill should also be stored in the refrigerator. You can cover it with cling film or a plastic container to suit your size. Shelf life is up to five days.
Cake with honey
This anthill recipe can be considered a classic one, but instead of sugar, honey is added to the cream. This makes the cake sweeter, with a pleasant honey flavor, and less calorie.
Ingredients for cooking:
- - milk - 5 tbsp. spoons;
- — egg – 3 pcs.;
- – sugar – 250 gr;
- - flour - 4 cups;
- — butter – 100 g;
- - soda - 0.5 teaspoon;
- - vinegar;
- - honey - 2 tbsp. spoons;
- - condensed milk - 1 can;
- - nuts or poppy seeds for decoration.
Recipe:
- The photo of the finished dish attached to the recipe will help you see how unusual and beautiful the anthill (cake) turns out.
- Take a bowl, put butter in it and melt it over the fire. Once it becomes liquid, remove from heat, add sugar and mix well so that there are no lumps left. Pour milk into a cup and break the eggs. Then quench the soda with vinegar and whisk all the ingredients; you can use a blender for this.
- Be sure to sift the flour. Add it to the whipped ingredients and knead the dough. It should be quite stiff in consistency. To grind the dough for anthill cake with honey, use a meat grinder. Cut it into pieces and pass through a wide mesh grinder to create long worms. You can also grind the dough using a coarse grater.
- Grease a baking sheet with oil and place the dough strands on it. Bake for a short time at 180 degrees, as soon as the dough is browned, remove the sheet from the oven.
- For the cream, mix honey and condensed milk.
- When the dough is ready and has cooled slightly, break it into small pieces. Combine them with the cream and mix the resulting mass. Then form a mound of it onto a plate and sprinkle nuts or poppy seeds on top. Place the cake in the refrigerator to cool for several hours.
- When time has passed, take out the finished anthill, cut into pieces and serve for dessert.
"Anthill" - from the "funnel" to condensed milk
Anthill cake, or “brushwood” as it is also called, is a very common dessert that is found in many cuisines around the world.
In Austria you can try it under the name “strauben”; Finnish chefs called their “anthill” “tippaleipä”, and Indian chefs called it “jalebi”. And the Americans gave this delicacy to the world. It was in the USA that the first “fannel cake” or “funnel cake” was prepared. Cooks poured the choux pastry into boiling oil through a funnel and deep-fried it until golden brown. The finished cake here is still sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with fresh fruit. Our cooking technology is slightly different from the American funnel cake. However, for its preparation, shortbread dough and cream with condensed milk are invariably used. Some chefs grate the dough, others pass it through a meat grinder, or grind it into crumbs. Below you will find a recipe for making anthill without rolling out the cakes and without a meat grinder.

Anthill cake recipe with photos step by step (classic)
In appearance it does not look like most ordinary cakes consisting of short layers and cream, but this does not make it any less interesting and tasty. It’s very easy to prepare, you don’t need to bother with rolling out dough and baking cakes, everything is done quickly and simply. In appearance, the cake really does look like an anthill, especially if you lightly sprinkle it with poppy seeds.
Ingredients for cooking:
for test:
- — 200 g butter;
- - 0.5 tsp. slaked soda;
- - 1 egg;
- - 100 ml milk;
- - 3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
- - 1.5 stack. flour
- for cream:
- — 1 ban. boiled condensed milk;
- - 100 g butter.
Recipe :
Cut the butter (you can use margarine) into pieces, put them in a saucepan and melt.
When it cools down a little, add sugar and egg.
Stir, pour in milk and slaked soda.
Add flour and bring the dough to a soft consistency. It is necessary to take into account that the dough will cool in the refrigerator and will become a little denser. Place the dough in the cold for 30-60 minutes.
Roll the dough through a meat grinder fitted with a small round hole.
Place the resulting “flagella” on a baking sheet lined with baking paper (no need to grease). If you don’t have a meat grinder or don’t want to wash it later, then the dough can be grated on a beetroot grater and spread on a baking sheet, only in this case, for convenience, you need to freeze it a little.
Bake in the oven until golden brown around the edges (30 minutes).
Place boiled condensed milk and soft butter in a bowl. For the Anthill cake, it is better if the condensed milk is not too thick, so it is better to cook it yourself for 80 minutes rather than buy ready-made boiled condensed milk in the store.
Beat with a mixer until a homogeneous cream is obtained.
Remove the baked cookies from the baking sheet, cool slightly and break into small pieces with your hands.
Pour in the cream made from condensed milk and butter, stir so that the cream is evenly distributed and greases all the cookie pieces.
Start placing the resulting mass on a flat plate, tapping the top forcefully with a spoon so that the cake compacts and there are no air voids inside. So gradually lay out the entire mixture in the form of a slide. It is very important to seal well on all sides so that the cake does not fall apart and looks good when slicing.
Sprinkle generously with poppy seeds on top to make the cake look more like an anthill. Leave it to soak for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator. The classic Anthill Cake is ready, our recipe with photos showed step by step how easy it is to bake a cake at home.

Anthill cake - classic step-by-step recipe with photos:
Prepare the dough. To do this, cut the margarine into cubes and beat it together with sugar, then add sour cream.
Already without a mixer, add flour and knead a pot-bellied lump of dough. Divide it into parts and refrigerate for an hour or two.
Now let's prepare the first cream (in the end, we will mix two prepared creams). First, beat all the dry ingredients with the eggs.
Then, pour the resulting composition into the milk preheated on the stove. Stir over low heat until a thick consistency is obtained. Let it cool.
For the second cream, cut the butter into cubes and beat together with sugar, add boiled condensed milk.
We take the dough out of the freezer and rub it onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, distributing the shavings over the entire area of the baking sheet, avoiding the formation of a thick layer (at this stage, special precision is not needed - later you will understand why!).
Place the resulting mixture in the oven for a quarter of an hour at 180 degrees, until golden brown (it all depends on the layer, be careful here!). Meanwhile, fry the nuts in a frying pan without oil and, after allowing them to cool slightly, crumble them using a rolling pin.
After removing the dough from the oven, let it cool until it becomes hard. After this, mercilessly break and crumble into small pieces and add nuts.
Mix two creams into one and combine with the dry mixture, place on a dish and form a slide with wet hands.
We decorate our anthill with chocolate chips and put it back in the cold for a couple of hours!
Ready! You can serve it on the table straight from the refrigerator - in this case it will resemble delicious nut ice cream, and after warming up a little in a warm room, it will not only not spoil, but will acquire new taste qualities! Decide which option you like when you make it yourself at home!
