To celebrate my husband's birthday, this year I decided that I would have made the cake! So it was: I started work with the recipe of my mother-in-law (often the family recipes are the best!) And a touch of fantasy I started.
original recipe my mother-in-law :
300 grams of flour 300 gr sugar 00
3 eggs 1 cup extra virgin olive Olti
1 / 2 lemon juice 1 tablespoon baking
vanilla cake
1 glass of milk
Variation made :
drops of dark chocolate 50 g butter
inburrare as needed for the molds.
Ingredients for cream:
2 egg yolks 50 g sugar 15 g
flour 1 / 4 of a liter of milk a little vanilla
the grated rind of half a lemon
In a large bowl I mixed flour, sugar, yeast and, after mixing it all, I added the eggs, oil and milk and mix until I started to mix all ingredients well. I have two well buttered molds shaped like a heart and I poured the mixture, when ready, before baking, I added the chocolate chips.
The oven must be preheated to a temperature of about 150 ° and the cake should cook for about 45 minutes.
before removing from the oven, I checked with a toothpick (old but still effective method to check ... baking cakes). In the meantime I prepared the custard, a little, to be used to cover the heart. The chocolate chips were lying at the base of the cake to form almost a thin layer of chocolate. The result (to say my husband and my parents) was good ... and for someone who is not accustomed to making cakes was really a wonderful compliment! Try it, it is ideal for a late lunch is not very demanding (in presentation) or for a snack.
