Let's start cooking.
Step-by-step recipe
The recipe for the Food of the Gods cake begins with making a biscuit with a nut.
The following products will go to the biscuit cake: 250 grams of sour cream of any fat content, 4 eggs, 200 grams of sugar, walnut kernels (approximately one medium cup).
Mix sour cream with soda. Leave for ten minutes so that the soda can react with sour cream, while characteristic bubbles should appear on it.
Sour cream can be replaced with kefir with any percentage of fat content or fermented milk. Next, you need to grind the kernels of nuts into a crumb with a coffee grinder or blender.
Then beat the eggs with sugar until a light foam appears and the sugar grains are completely dissolved.
We send nut chips and sour cream to the eggs. Thoroughly mix the resulting mass. Next, you need to add flour in two tablespoons, each time well kneading.
The result should be a dough with a viscous consistency. Biscuit dough will be the most delicious, if you add soaked poppy in it, after passing it through a meat grinder.
We preheat the oven and set the biscuit to bake at a temperature of 190 degrees.
To do this, lubricate the form for making biscuit butter and fill it with the resulting dough. Then you need to level it with a spoon or use a silicone spatula.
The dough should be baked for 35 minutes with the oven door closed. You can check the readiness of the biscuit for the Food of the Gods cake with a nut by using a match or a wooden skewer.
Biscuit cake is ready if there are no traces of dough when taking out a match.
Once the cake has been baked, we place it on the grid so that it can cool completely. At this time, you need to do cooking cream for the cake "Food of the Gods."
To do this, you will need to take the following products: 250 grams of butter, one tablespoon (preferably with a slide) of dried cocoa, one can of condensed milk.
Care must be taken to ensure that the butter is soft. To do this, you must first remove it from the refrigerator.
Take the oil and beat it with a mixer onmedium speed, bring to a creamy state and pour in it in small streams or with the help of a spoon condensed milk. After mixing the ingredients, bring them to a homogeneous mixture.
The final stage in the preparation of the cream - adding dry cocoa.
Building a cake
We take the cooled biscuit, cut it along,make 2 cakes with different thicknesses. Thinner cake comes first. You will need to spread cream on it. A large part of the resulting biscuit must be crushed in a combine or by hand to obtain an average crumb. Pour the biscuit, milled into a crumb, into our cream and mix everything.
An interesting taste can be achieved byadding raisins to cream. They can be replaced by other dried fruits, for example, dried apricots or candied fruits. After this stroke, the mixture is left for ten minutes for impregnation. Next, you need to put it on a whole cake and, if desired, give the “Food of the Gods” cake to the desired shape. You can form a hill, and you can make an even layer. This technique resembles the preparation of another favorite since childhood cake called “The rotten stump”.
Decorating the cake
Любителям не только вкусных, но и эстетически attractive delicacies like decorating your culinary product whenever possible. For example, from above you can “improve” the design with grated chocolate or nuts. Quite tasty can turn out if you pour the “Food of the Gods” cake with melted chocolate icing flavored with a good piece of butter. Thanks to the softened butter, the dessert will have a mild and unusual taste.
The classic decoration in the form of coconut chips will be more important here than ever.
The finished cake will need to hold for at least two hours in the refrigerator - this will help him to soak as much as possible.
