Ingredients
This sweet treat recipe can be divided into two main parts: making the dough and the cream. To make the dough, you'll need:
- flour - one incomplete glass;
- sugar - one incomplete glass;
- chicken eggs – two pieces.
To make a delicate custard, prepare:
- milk – one glass;
- flour - one tablespoon;
- one chicken egg
- sugar - half a glass;
- vanilla sugar or vanillin.
The finished cakes can be beautifully decorated using nuts, chocolate or coconut flakes, poppy seeds, or colorful culinary sprinkles—whatever you like best.
Recipe for making cakes
- It's best to start preparing this delicious treat with the custard. While you're working on the dough, the filling will have time to cool. Let's look at a simple and quick recipe. First, mix the flour with sugar and egg.
- Then, warm the milk, being careful not to let it boil. Slowly add it to the prepared mixture of eggs, sugar, and flour, whisking gently throughout.
- Then place the cream base on low heat and cook until done, remembering to stir constantly.
- When the filling begins to thicken, remove the pan from the heat. Add vanilla sugar to the cream and leave it in a cool place to cool.
- Now you can begin preparing the dough. The cake recipe calls for mixing the sugar and eggs first, then carefully and slowly adding the flour. The dough should be the consistency of thick sour cream. To give the dessert a little extra flair, you can slightly modify the recipe and sprinkle some poppy seeds, previously soaked in boiling water, into the dough.
- Grease a baking sheet with sunflower oil and spoon the dough onto it. Be careful not to let it spread. The dough should hold its shape well. Using a spoon, press it down lightly to form a flatbread.
- Form several of these cakes, but not too close together. Otherwise, the cakes may stick together during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for just 5 minutes. As soon as the dessert begins to brown, remove it immediately.
- Now comes the most crucial step, which will determine the appearance of the treats. Remove the still-hot cake from the baking sheet and gently press it on one side with your fingers. Repeat this process with each cake. Since the cakes will still be quite hot, this process can be a bit tricky. To make the task easier, many home cooks recommend using a regular clothespin to shape the dessert.
- The result should be elegant petals. Then, using a pastry bag or a regular teaspoon, carefully spoon the now-cooled cream onto the cakes.
The final step is decorating the treat. At this stage, your imagination and creativity are boundless. Use chocolate, cocoa, mint leaves, coconut flakes, nuts, and other delicious "decorations."
Even the youngest and most inexperienced homemaker can master this recipe for sweet cakes shaped like charming petals with cream. These delicious, delicate calla lily cakes are a true treat for those with a sweet tooth.
