Just for Dear Sandra: From Croatia with Love
Can you measure love? As a kid, when I wanted to show someone how much I love them, I would stretch my hands as wide as possible and said: I love you THIS much!!".
Well, today I'm sending ONE METER of Love to my dear Sandra.
What you'll need:
Round Loaf pan
For batter:
4 eggs
250 g white sugar
150 ml of water
250 g of white all propose flour
1/2 baking powder
2 tablespoon powdered chocolate
1 tablespoon cacao
Cream:
800 ml of milk
2 egg yolks
200 g of sugar
80 g vanilla pudding powder
150 g butter or margarine
- Mix the egg whites. Set aside. Mix egg yolks with sugar until it's smooth. Than add water, oil, flour , baking powder and egg whites. Divide mixture in two equal parts. In one add powdered chocolate and cacao.
- Oil the round loaf pan
and sprinkle with flour. Pour the white mixture in and put it in preheated oven. When it's light brown, remove from oven. Wash the pan and repeat procedure with dark batter.
- Cut both biscuits into the ribs.
- Meanwhile, for a cream, mix egg yolks with sugar until smooth. Add pudding and 300 ml of milk. Place 500 ml milk in saucepan over low heat. When the milk starts to boil, add pudding mixture and stir well until it's cooked. Let it cool. In cold cream add butter (or margarine) and mix well until it's smooth.
- Next, with cream "glue" one rib of white biscuit and one rib of brown biscuit. Repeat until you have used all "ribs". Wit remaining cream coat the whole cake.
- For chocolate glaze, mix 300 g semisweet chocolate, 2 tablespoon milk and 2 teaspoon oil, and stir on low heat until it's melted. Coat the whole cake. Sometimes, I also decorate the cake with the whipping cream. Put it in a refrigerator.
- Important: When you cut the cake, DON'T cut it right, you need to cut at an angle of 45°, that way you will get interesting structure of the cake. Well, see for yourself, taaadaaa:
Kolač na metre
Biskvit:
4 žumanjka
25 dkg šećera
1,5 dcl vode
1,5 dcl ulja
25 dkg oštrog brašna
½ praška za pecivo
Snijeg od 4 bjelanjka
Umutiti žumanjke s šećerom dok smjesa ne postane glatka.
Dodati vodu, ulje i brašno s praškom za pecivo. Miksati. Podijeliti smjesu u
dva jednaka dijela. U jedan dio dodati 2 žlice čokolade u prahu i pomiješati.
Svaku smjesu posebno peći u prethodno namašćenom i pobrašnjenom rebrastom limu.
Krema:
8 dcl mlijeka
2 žumanjka
25 dkg šećera
2 kesice pudinga od vanilije
150 g maslaca
5 dcl mlijeka staviti na vatru. Žumanjke i šećer izmiksati,
te dodati 3 dcl mlijeka i puding od vanilije. Uliti puding smjesu u mlijeko
koje je počelo vriti. Miješati dok se proključa, odnosno dok se ne zgusne. U prohlađenu
kremu dodati maslac.
Ohlađeno tijesto rezati po rebrima. Spajati jedno svjetlo i
jedno tamno rebro s kremom dok ne utrošimo sva rebra. Ostaviti kreme za
premazat kolač izvana. Preliti glazurom ili šlagom.
Glazura:
4 žl vode
4 žl šećera
5 rebara čokolade
Malo margarina
VAŽNO: Kolač se ne reže klasično, već ukoso, kako bi dobili sve boje na tanjuru, odnosno zanimljivu mustru kolača.
:))))) You made me smile!
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeleteI hv not heard of a one-meter cake and tempted to give it a try. Hv a few questions and hope u could clarify ...
u said "Mix the egg whites. Set aside. Mix egg yolks with sugar until it's smooth. Than add water, oil, flour , baking powder and egg whites."...
(i)Should i whisk the egg white to stiff/soft form before mixing with the egg yolk mixture ?
(ii) do i need to whisk egg-yolks and sugar till pale yellow using electronic mixer ?
Thanks v much !!!!!
