Total time: 1 hour and 40 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients
For the sheets:
- 700 g flour
- 10 tablespoons water
- 10 tablespoons tomato juice (yes, you read that right!)
- 10 tablespoons oil
- 10 tablespoons sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ammonia
- A pinch of salt
For cream 1:
- 500 ml water
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 10 tablespoons sugar
- 250 g margarine at room temperature
- 250 g powdered sugar
- Vanilla essence (to taste)
For cream 2:
- 400 g plum jam (or thick jam)
- 3 heaping tablespoons cocoa
- Rum essence (to taste)
Preparation
1. Preparing the sheets:
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt, ammonia, and sugar. Gradually add the water, tomato juice, and oil. Knead the dough until it becomes firm and homogeneous. It is essential that the dough is not too sticky, so adjust the amount of water if necessary. I recommend using warm water to help the yeast in the dough work better.
2. Dividing and rolling out the sheets:
Divide the obtained dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece with a rolling pin on a floured surface, making sure to obtain thin sheets. Bake each sheet on the back of a baking tray at a moderate heat (about 180 degrees Celsius) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Let them cool completely.
3. Preparing cream 1:
In a saucepan, add the water, flour, and sugar. Mix well to avoid lumps. Simmer on low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens like thick sour cream. This step is crucial for obtaining a fine cream. Once thickened, let the mixture cool slightly.
In another bowl, cream the margarine with the powdered sugar and vanilla essence until fluffy. Then, gradually add the flour cream, mixing with a mixer to obtain a homogeneous consistency. Chill the cream for about 25 minutes.
4. Preparing cream 2:
In a bowl, mix the plum jam with the cocoa and rum essence until you obtain a uniform and delicious mixture. If you want a more intense flavor, you can also add a bit of cinnamon.
5. Assembling the cake:
Place the first baked sheet on a platter. Spread half of cream 2 over the surface of the sheet. Then place the second sheet and evenly spread all of cream 1. Continue with the third sheet, over which you spread the remaining cream 2. Finally, place the last sheet on top.
6. Cooling the cake:
Cover the cake with a clean towel and let it chill, ideally overnight, to blend the flavors. This will make each slice rich and flavorful.
7. Serving:
Cut the cake into rectangles and serve with great appetite! It is perfect for special occasions as well as for personal indulgence. I recommend pairing it with a cup of aromatic tea or black coffee for a contrast of flavors.
Practical tips:
- You can replace the plum jam with other jams, such as raspberry or cherry, to add a different flavor note.
- If you want an even richer texture, add some chopped nuts to cream 1.
- Make sure the oil and margarine are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Use a preheated oven to achieve evenly baked sheets.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can use butter, but make sure it is melted and cooled before adding it to cream 1.
2. What other variations can I make to personalize the cake?
You can add essences or flavor extracts, such as almond or orange, to cream 1 to give it a unique taste.
Nutrition and calories:
This fasting cake is a healthier choice compared to many other desserts, having a relatively low fat content due to the use of margarine. Each serving contains approximately 250 calories, but this number may vary depending on the specific ingredients used.
The Post "10" cake is not just a dessert, but a culinary experience that brings together delicious flavors and textures. I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy every bite! It can quickly become your favorite, just as it was for me.
