Fasting continues, Lenten purchased cookies are already tired, and I really want something tasty for tea.
A friend who observes the fast from year to year taught me how to make a delicious cake. In its version, the cream was just orange, but my household is very fond of chocolate, therefore, having slightly changed the recipe, I present to your attention my version
For the cake we need:
Poppy - 75 gr.
Flour - 1 tbsp.
Manka - 1 tbsp.
Sugar 2/3 cup
Growing oil - 100 gr.
Oranges 2-3 pcs.
Walnuts - 50 gr.
Starch - 1 tbsp.
Cream:
Orange juice - 300 ml.
Sugar - 50-75 g.
Semolina - 3 tablespoons
Cocoa - 2 tbsp
I'll start by pouring the poppy seeds into a small salad bowl and pouring hot water over it for 10 minutes to make it swell.
While the poppy is swelling in another salad bowl I will add sugar, sifted flour, semolina, a little salt, starch.
Rub the zest with a grater. We need 2 tablespoons of the zest.
I squeeze the juice out of the oranges. I need a glass of juice, if it turns out to be less in volume, then add hot water to the glass.
15 minutes have passed, the poppy must be thrown in a colander so that the excess liquid is gone. Again I transfer it to a salad bowl, add sugar to it and mix everything thoroughly.
In a salad bowl I mix dry ingredients with poppy seeds.
I add vegetable oil, orange zest and juice to the salad bowl. We get a viscous dough.
Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment, grease the bottom and walls with vegetable oil, pour the dough into it and put in preheated to 180 grams. oven for 35-45 minutes.
While the dough is in the oven, we'll turn to the cream.
Pour orange juice into a saucepan, add sugar to it and put on fire.
As soon as the juice heats up, add the zest, semolina and stirring constantly, prepare the cream until it thickens.
Add cocoa.
If the cream is very thick, you can add water or juice. Let the cream cool.
Then beat the cream with a blender, it turns out to be more delicate in taste.
We check the readiness of the cake with a toothpick.
When the cake is ready, give it time to cool.
Cut and grease with cream.
Finely chop the nuts and sprinkle on the cakes.
When the cake is ready, let it sit in the refrigerator for a while.
This is how in just an hour we got a delicious, tender lean cake!
Bon Appetit everyone!
