As I promised, here is the cake. And that's what! Russian tradition of making cakes in our family brought my mom and this is her recipe. It was a real purist, no chocolate, and is therefore called the "white cake" although there are many beljih.
To make a cake we had a reason - On Saturday, the Unin friend Marlene turned three years. Since I last year and The child's birthday cake rules, I decided to continue the tradition. Speaking of children's birthday cakes, do not make cakes in the shape of the Ladybug, Hello Kitty and Sponge Bob. First, I am not skillful enough to make so it's really good-looking, and I was the visual side is very important, at least when it comes to cakes. Secondly, all those who make cakes in the shapes of cartoon characters make a simplest dough cake, then cut hours, put sun screen, numbers and play. I make cakes that are mostly already sufficiently demanding as regards the preparation, and after I have the nerve to vajam them in a special form, or that they spoil the taste with a thick layer of green fondant (admit it to you to downloading the cake when you give someone a piece with Tomášov eye on the plate).
for me to share a birthday cake for summer and winter. I am a child of spring, I grew up in a time before global warming when they are around 20 May appeared first strawberries (yes, yes, kids, 20 May; now im at the time of season on the wane) and my mom especially enjoyed chasing the early strawberries for Kalenić market, it pays them too expensive and out of the real fruit cake with strawberries, whipped cream filling and yellow. This was all terribly glad, because they mostly were the first strawberries, which they ate that year and the birthday was the atmosphere like Santa Claus had arrived.
However, our vain born in December. For the first birthday received a chocolate cake (the recipe for the best chocolate cake of all time, in our family, known as Ujnina chocolate cake, you can expect in the next few months). For the second has received the most classic of all winter cakes, Vasa (and the recipe below before you pass the orange season, although I am sure that each of you already know how to make it) and this year, Russian. Cake was so good that it was fired before I got the image (I only have a picture of blowing spark plugs) and I had to make, and Marlene and correcting the error.
Enough, here's a prescription.
Crust:
- 300 g sugar 12 eggs
- 135 g ground nuts
- 3 tablespoons bread crumbs 1 tablespoon
- flour teaspoon baking powder
- 13 tablespoons milk
- 240 g sugar 220 g
- ground nuts 2 packs of vanilla sugar
- 210 g butter
- four bars of chocolate
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- little butter
Ugrejte oven to 170 degrees. Separate egg whites from egg yolks and egg whites Beat the firm Schnee, gradually adding sugar. At the end of the Schnee and add egg yolks, whisk mixer until all equally not stained yellow. Mix the walnuts with the flour, baking powder and bread crumbs. Add to the Schnee egg and mix everything carefully with a spoon. The mold for a cake covered with bakpapirom pour the dough and bake for between half an hour and 40 minutes (depends on how your oven works and that you are using a fan or not, also suggest that bakpapir outside a thin layer of butter spread on bread).
While crust bakes, save the filling. Melt the sugar and vanilla sugar in milk on low heat. When it boils, remove from burner and pour the walnuts. Stir and allow to cool. Remove the butter from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature. At the end of the mixer, beat butter in a cold cream of walnut. Phil is over.
Allow crust to cool completely before being cut in half. If the edges higher than the middle, cut off the excess to get a flat surface. As with all cakes, whose bark is cut in half, one third of the filling schedule between bark and two-thirds from the top and sides. Leave for a few hours in the fridge to set. Only then apply the glaze.
I was wrong as I was preparing the glaze recipe, hated me, so I just finished melted glaze (called couverture), and has dealt on the cake. These ready-made glazes are great when you make pralines, but for application on flat surface cakes are too dense. Therefore, let not hate you, you make a recipe. Icing should be of dark chocolate and very thin, do not take precedence over the taste of walnuts.
Cake should be refrigerated overnight, and generally the best after two or three days. However, this did not have such a great age, children and their parents came to her head within an hour.
What I changed: As I mentioned, I changed the icing on their own detriment. It's not just now ruined cake, but visually it might look much better with honest glaze. Other
not touched, the recipe is great just the way it is. Note, however, if the eggs you use very large, it can happen that you test "iskip" and from that the biggest cake molds (28 cm) and a giant muffin zalic. Please note that the well-done - in this case, will not help Test with a toothpick (knife, fork, which as already Bodet) because it can be relatively dry, but still roasted. Wait until you change the color, the edges become very brown, then it's over.
Verdict: Antique, refined cake. Although full of nuts and butter, the crust is very light and airy, and despite the large amount of sugar, the cake is adorable. Anyhow, we suggest that you try - if you ever been known, it will become certainly a part of your dessert repertoire.
