This fluffy cake is perfect to enjoy with a morning coffee or as a refreshing dessert after a hearty meal. I will guide you step by step so that you achieve an impressive result.
Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 200 g sugar
- 100 ml oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 packet of baking powder (about 10 g)
- Flour (as needed, about 300 g)
- 300 g cherries or sour cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen)
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
Start by preparing the ingredients. If you choose to use yeast instead of baking powder, dissolve it in a little warm milk and let it activate for 10 minutes. This will contribute to a fluffier texture of your guguluf.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until foamy, then gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm meringue. In another bowl, combine the egg yolks with the oil and salt. Mix well, then add this mixture over the egg whites.
Step 2: Combining the Ingredients
Carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the meringue using a spatula, so as not to lose the air in the dough. Add the baking powder and start incorporating the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a medium consistency that is easy to pour, but not too soft.
Step 3: Assembling the Guguluf
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a guguluf mold with oil and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Pour half of the dough mixture into the mold, then add the cherries or sour cherries, distributing them evenly. Cover with the remaining dough.
Step 4: Baking
Place the mold in the oven and bake the guguluf for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If using yeast, make sure to let the dough rise for about 30 minutes before baking.
Step 5: Serving
After the guguluf is baked, let it cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. You can dust powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance and a sweet touch.
Variation Suggestions
This guguluf recipe is extremely versatile. You can replace the cherries or sour cherries with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches, currants, or grapes. You can also add nuts, hazelnuts, or raisins to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
Practical Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform mixture.
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the egg yolk mixture.
- The guguluf can also be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
Enjoy this fluffy and fragrant guguluf, perfect for any occasion! Bon appétit!
