Short History

Lary cake is a recipe that combines tradition with modernity, having deep roots in the culture of homemade desserts. This cake is loved not only for its taste but also for its simple preparation method, making it a popular choice among homemakers who want to bring a touch of magic to every meal.

Preparing the Base

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is important for the eggs to be fresh, as they contribute to the fluffiness of the base.

2. Beating the egg whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with 6 tablespoons of sugar using a high-speed mixer. Continue beating until you obtain a firm and shiny foam. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy base.

3. Yolks: In another bowl, cream the yolks until they become creamy. Add them over the egg white foam, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture.

4. Flour and baking powder: Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually add them to the egg mixture. Continue to gently mix to incorporate the ingredients without forming lumps.

5. Preparing the pan: Grease a baking pan with oil and dust it with flour, ensuring it is evenly covered. This step will prevent the base from sticking.

6. Baking: Pour the base mixture into the pan and level the surface. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the base is well risen and golden. Check if it is baked using a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is ready.

Preparing the Cream

1. Boiling the milk: In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil together with 4 tablespoons of sugar. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. Adding the pudding: When the milk starts to boil, add the caramel pudding. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes thick and homogeneous. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool. It is important to stir occasionally to avoid lumps.

3. Preparing the cream: Once the pudding has cooled, take the margarine (Rama) and beat it well with a mixer until creamy. Add one tablespoon of the cooled pudding, mixing at low speed to prevent the cream from curdling. Continue until all the pudding is incorporated.

4. Adding the walnuts: Finally, add the ground walnuts to the cream, gently mixing to achieve a fine and delicious texture.

Assembling the Cake

1. Cooling the base: After baking, remove the base from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Then, cut it into two equal halves horizontally.

2. Filling: Place the first half of the base on a platter and spread the cream evenly. Cover with the second half of the base.

3. Decorating: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, being careful not to burn it. Pour the melted chocolate over the cake and let it cool so that the chocolate hardens.

Lary cake can be served plain, but you can accompany it with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. You can also add fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries, which will add a touch of freshness.
