cake turned bad

Ingredients:
500gr flour
250gr honey
250gr olive oil
6 eggs
1 tea spoon cinnamon
1 tea spoon ginger powder
1 tea spoon of funel

Recipe:
Add all into a mixer and mix until smooth. Incorporate the egg whites and take it in a pudding form to the over at 180C for at least 45min.

A very simple lactose-free cake that is dense like the traditional portuguese cookies called broas.
It has a single taste but it shouldn't be too bizarre for kids either. To me it is the perfect non-event cake.

Marble cake

Ingredients:
  • 250gr flour
  • 125gr sugar
  • 200gr butter
  • 150gr dark chocolate
  • 2dl milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tea spoons east

Ingredients for the frosting:
  • 200ml heavy cream
  • 80gr dark chocolate
  • 80gr pink chocolate

Recipe:

Wisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thicker and yellowish. Add the melted (or softened) butter and wisk again until you get a buttercream consistency. 
Mix in the flour with the east and finally add the milk.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and three drops of lemon juice until stiff.
Incorporate them into the remaining dough. 
Divide the batter into two.
Melt the chocolate and softly incorporate it into one half of the batter.
Put the white batter first on the baking form with a center peak and then the dark one.
Using a toothpick mix it slightly (you want some funny images to arise from this).
Bake for at least 45 min at 180C.

Recipe for the frosting:
Melt both chocolate in different bowls.
Add half the cream to each.
Drop the dark chocolate on top of the cake before it is cold in way that it runs from the top inwards.
Do the same with the pink chocolate but have it flow from the top outwards.
With a toothpick or something as sharp mix the frostings at the top making funny drawings.
It can look amazing if you have a good hand for it, which I don't, but it still looks amazing even if not a marble at all. :-)





Pinaple tart tartin

Ingredients:
  • 250gr pineapple in slices
  • 6 eggs
  • 240gr sugar
  • 225gr butter
  • 450gr flour
  • 1 tea spoon east
  • 150ml milk or pineapple juice or a combination of both
Recipe:

Take 100gr of the sugar (and 100ml pineapple juice if you have some) onto a pan and heat it slowly until it starts to darken.
As soon as it does spread it on a form for the oven. If you miss your window of opportunity heat it up a a little until melted maybe add a little of juice again and then spread it on the form.
Distribute the ananas slices over the caramel.
Beat the egg yolks with the remainder 60gr of sugar until light yellow.
Mix in the melted butter, than the flour with the east, the milk and the juice.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and incorporate on the rest of the cake mix.
Add the cake batter on to the form that already has the caramel and the ananas.
Take it to a pre-heated over at 180C.

when turned out of the form.
Maybe for this forum I should have used more pineapple. 🤔

Cod fish Pataniscas

Ingredients:
  • 100gr flour
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 large sal dried cod fish stake
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 table spoon of white wine
  • 1 hand full of persil
  • 25ml water (preferably from boiling the cod fish)
Boil the cod fish and keep 25ml of the water.
When it has cooled down remove all bones and skin and with your fingers crumble the stake into smaller pieces.
In a blender put all ingredients but the cod fish and blend it until smooth.
Than add the cod fish and with a spoon m ix it all together.
Cover a pan's surface with olive oil and heat it up.
Use a soup serving spoon to deliver a portion of the liquid and let it cook until slightly golden. Then turn it on the other side just as you would pancakes.

For these I didn't have any onions so I used prey instead... So they are a bit green. 😁 As you can see it is just like fish pancakes.
