Slacker

Today I'll tell you how to make another Lithuanian sweet called "Slacker". Yes, that's right - slacker ;D It is direct translation from Lithuanian word "Tinginys". Maybe you know this recipe from somewhere else and know a proper name for it in English? If so, be sure to let me know in comments, thanks! OK, so here is what you will need:

• 1 pack of butter
• 2 larger spoons of cocoa
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 
• 3 packs of cookies (simple, hard ones, one pack should weight about 190 grams - 7.6 oz)
• Optional - handful of crushed nuts or coconut shavings 

Let’s get a big and comfortable bowl (as always lol). Melt the butter on small fire, add two spoons of cocoa and can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix them together while still on fire! Turn of the fire when the mass is nice and even. Add 3 packs of fractured cookies. And if you like handful of crushed nuts or coconut shavings (I like both, so I always use them). Mix everything up :) Get a form that would fit all of the mass, and tile it with polyethylene so it would be easy to take "Slacker" out later. Put all of the mass into the form, don’t be afraid to add a little pressure so it would spread nicely. If you want to make slacker look pretty, sprinkle the top of it with whatever you like (crushed nuts, coconut shavings do the job perfectly). Final step - to the fridge! You should cool it for about 5-6 hours (best is to leave it for the night). After the night you should have one solid, very sweet and tasty "Slacker". Have a good Nom Nom! :)

Crumb Cake

This cake is very easy to make and it's very popular in Lithuania. So this is what we will need:

• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 Glass of sugar (add more if you like your cake sweeter!)
• 500 grams (1.1 lbs) of wheat flour
• 150 grams (6 oz) of butter
• 1 tea spoon of baking powder
•  500 grams (1.1 lbs) of your favorite jam (Best choices are blueberry, apricot or black currant. But every thick jam will do) 

Get a large comfortable bowl :) Melt the butter and mix it with sugar. Get that big bowl of yours and add everything: butter and sugar mix, flour, eggs, baking powder and start kneading the dough! When the mass is nice and even, put the bowl in the fridge for about 1.5 hours. The mass should be quite hard and after chilling in the fridge it must be very hard. Get your baking tray and tile it with baking paper. Break 2/3 of dough in to crumbs (not too little, size of your nail will do) and spread them on baking paper, you can do this with your hands or using a grater. Take your favorite jam and spread it on the crumbs. Break 1/3 of dough that's left in to crumbs and spread them on top of the jam. Heat the oven to 180 °C (365 °F) and bake for 50 mins.

After 50 mins - your very om nom nom cake is ready! Serve it with a cold glass of milk, or few scoops of your favorite ice cream :)
