Russian-style Waffle Cake

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, and add the sugar.

Gradually stir the flour into the egg mixture. Then, gradually mix in the melted butter.

Heat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions until it is ready.

Ladle a sufficient amount of batter onto the waffle iron—it should just barely cover the surface. Close the iron, and cook until the waffle is medium-brown (about 2 minutes). Remove the cooked waffle from the iron.

2 minutes

Repeat the waffle cooking process until you have used up all the waffle batter.

Let the waffles cool.

Place the sealed can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of water. The water should completely cover the can by several inches.

Bring the water to a boil, and simmer for 2–3 hours. Add more water if necessary during the cooking process—the can should always be fully covered with water.

2–3 hours

Remove the cans from the heat, and let them cool completely. Do not try to open a hot can.

Mix the caramelized milk with the butter.

Place one waffle on a sheet of foil or plastic wrap. Spread some caramel on the waffle, then place another waffle on top. Repeat this process until you have used up all the waffles and caramel.

Wrap the cake up, and put it in the fridge for several hours.

Slice the cake along the lines made by the waffle-iron, and serve!
