Simple Jewish cake with cherries, nuts and chocolate icing
I want to share a family recipe for a quick and delicious cake. I got it from my great-grandmother, and a Jewish girl, whom she hid from the Germans, told her. The recipe is very simple, and the cake turns out delicious, “smart” and already divided into portions. Cooking is described step by step in the recipe with a photo.
Ingredients:
- 1 st. wheat flour;
- 1 st. pitted cherries (fresh or canned);
- 1 st. walnuts;
- 3 chicken eggs;
- 1 st. Sahara;
- 1 tsp soda;
- table vinegar.
How to bake a cake with cherries, nuts and chocolate icing
To prepare this simple dessert, you first need to dry the walnuts in the oven and crush them in a mortar or rolling pin. Put the cherries in a colander to remove the syrup. This is all the preparatory work, and now you need to make the dough.
Mix the eggs until smooth, and then beat them with sugar for about 5 minutes. In several portions, add flour to the mixture and mix everything thoroughly.
Pour the nuts and cherries into the batter. Distribute them evenly throughout the mass.
Quench a spoonful of soda with vinegar so that the dough becomes like thick sour cream. Gently mix the quenched soda with the dough. Grease a baking sheet with oil and sprinkle with flour or semolina. Pour batter into it and spread evenly.
We will bake one cake in the oven at a temperature of 180 0 C for 40 minutes. Check the cake for readiness with a toothpick or a match (should be dry after dipping in baking). Take it out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes and take it out of the mold.
It remains to cut the cake into equal pieces. Boil chocolate.
To do this, first you need to mix sugar and cocoa thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Add 60 ml of milk and boil until thick sour cream.
Drizzle hot chocolate over each piece and serve.
Concluding the cake recipe, I note that it is not in vain called "Jewish". Based on your preferences or available products, cherries can be replaced with raisins, and you can take any nuts - peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts.
Covering a simple and delicious Jewish cake with cherries, nuts and chocolate icing, you can not waste time making chocolate, but melt the already prepared confectionery. The advantage of this dessert is that it can be served both with hot chocolate and already frozen.
