Carob cake + Walnut cake
I haven't counted how many recipes for this carob or walnut cake there are here, but there are a lot of them. I can't help but write a recipe, when you are asked by dear cool women ... These cakes are nostalgic for me. A few years ago I wasn't really interested in these types of cakes, everything was supposed to be creamy;) I have a special memory of the walnut cake. When I was in the maternity ward back 18.5 years, my aunt, who was my mom instead, brought me a walnut cake and coffee in a thermos bottle. What a pleasure. It was topped with a lot of chocolate and at that moment it was my best cake :)
Preparation steps
- Carob Cake: Mix eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar. Add milk and oil and mix briefly with a mixer. Add sifted flour with baking powder and ground carob. Mix with a spoon and mix only briefly with a mixer. Grate 3 large or 4 less peeled apples into the mixture and mix with a spoon to combine with the mixture.
- Turn the oven to 180 degrees, not the fan. Line a 26 cm or square diameter baking tray with baking paper or grease with butter, then shake with flour and pour the mixture into it. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven, check with a toothpick, when dry it is done. Pour chocolate glaze over the cake, if you wish, and you can only shake it with powdered sugar. Melt the chocolate in the cream at a low temperature.
- Walnut cake: Soak raisins in rum. Mix eggs with sugar. Add oil and milk and mix briefly with a mixer. Add sifted flour with baking powder and walnuts. Mix with a spoon and mix briefly with a mixer. Add 2 evening or 3 less peeled grated apples and drained raisins. Stir with a spoon.
