Recipe Description

Great Lent has arrived, and for those who adhere to it, the question becomes stark: “How to reproach yourself and your family?”
During Lent, before Easter, a person undergoes cleansing and trains his willpower, giving up meat, fish, eggs, milk, chocolate, etc. This is not easy even for those who adhere to a healthy diet, but it is useful not only for the spirit, but also for the body :).

Of course, fasting is not a hunger strike; it is also important to give up bad habits and sinful actions.
Prepare yourself a light one, eat more fruits and feel more energetic.

And if you really want something sweet, I suggest baking a Lenten honey cake with nuts.
When I served this pie, no one could guess what it was made from... I’ll tell you this secret 😉

I used refined corn and I really like it.
Gradually add flour and mix until the dough is smooth.

Add nuts, maybe raisins.
Don’t skimp, the more of them, the tastier.

Grease the multicooker bowl with odorless vegetable oil and pour out the dough.
Close the multicooker and bake in the “Baking” mode for 65 minutes. After the signal, add another 20 minutes, in the same mode.

One of the simplest and most uncomplicated types of baking is gingerbread. In its traditional version, it is a honey gingerbread, often covered with sugar icing.

Rug in a multicooker. Video

Korizhka is a simple, affordable and tasty baked product. Housewives often prepare this type of baking, since when preparing it you can use any jam that your family is already tired of and they refuse to eat it.

Recently, baking in a slow cooker has become very popular, because without much effort you get excellent results. And this despite the fact that the entire process is completely under the control of the multicooker. But, as it turned out, when baking gingerbread in a multi-cooker, there are some peculiarities.

A gingerbread based on kefir, milk, tea or coffee, in most cases, does not work in a slow cooker, although using the same recipe in the oven, such a gingerbread will turn out perfect. This is due to the peculiarities of baking in a slow cooker. Moisture from dishes cooked in a slow cooker evaporates very slowly, but in the oven it evaporates quickly. Therefore, a gingerbread prepared in a slow cooker, even after 80-90 minutes of baking, often remains raw, unbaked and inedible inside, because the dough for the gingerbread is generally quite liquid. There is only one way out - choose a recipe for the multicooker with a small amount of liquid (milk, kefir, water).

The proposed recipe for gingerbread with jam is well suited for baking in a slow cooker. The mat turns out tender, aromatic and tasty. The recipe uses a 250 ml glass.

A honey gingerbread recipe can contain completely different ingredients. But in any case, such a dessert turns out very tasty and nutritious.

Step-by-step recipe for “Honey Gingerbread”

Honey gingerbread is a very sweet pastry that has a pleasant gingerbread aroma and a bright rich taste of honey. To prepare such a dessert, you can use not only a standard set of ingredients, but also use various spices in the form of cinnamon or vanilla, cloves or cardamom.

If you want to get more satisfying baked goods, then after heat treatment of the dough you can generously coat it with jam or custard. It should also be noted that to prepare such a dish it is not necessary to use only sunflower oil. After all, it can be easily replaced with grape, peanut, sesame, etc.

So, the presented recipe (“Honey Gingerbread”) requires the use of the following components:

• honey of any kind - 2 large spoons;
• sugar (not too coarse) - a full glass;
• water - a full glass;
• seedless dark raisins - 1/2 cup;
• table soda - ½ spoon;
• walnuts - 1/2 cup;
• any vegetable oil - 1/2 cup;
• any jam - approximately 1/2 cup;
• light flour - use as desired;
• cinnamon, cloves, coriander - a pinch each.

Mixing the base

In order for you to get a very tasty honey gingerbread (recipe and photos of the dessert are presented in this article), you need to mix the base well. To do this, pour sugar into a large bowl, add any type of honey and settled water to it. Next, you need to pour oil (sesame, sunflower, grape, etc.) into the same bowl, and then lightly heat all the ingredients over low heat.

In this case, all components must be stirred regularly with a spoon. After the sugar and honey dissolve, the resulting mass must be removed from the stove and cooled to 40 degrees.

In addition to the mixed ingredients, the recipe we are considering (“Honey Gingerbread”) also involves the use of other components. Thus, you need to add baking soda, cocoa powder and all other spices to them. After mixing the products, add dark seedless raisins, roasted walnuts and high-grade flour into the bowl. As for the last component, its quantity may vary. It is advisable to add flour until the dough resembles thick sour cream.

Formation and baking process

The honey gingerbread in the slow cooker, the recipe for which we are considering, does not take very long to prepare. But before you begin heat treatment of the kneaded dough, the dessert should be properly formed. To do this, the bowl of the device must be generously greased with margarine, vegetable oil or butter. You can also sprinkle the bottom of the container with a small amount of semolina.

After the mold is prepared, you need to pour all the dough into it. Next, close the multicooker and set it to baking mode. In this case, it is advisable to set the time manually to 40 minutes. This is enough for the gingerbread to be completely baked.

How should it be served with tea?

As you can see, the described recipe (“Honey Gingerbread”) does not require the use of expensive and rare ingredients. Thus, using the simplest and most affordable products, you can independently make a very tasty and nutritious dessert that neither an adult nor a child will ever refuse.

After completing the baking program, the gingerbread must be removed from the bowl by tilting it over the cake pan or cutting board. After allowing the dessert to cool completely, it is recommended to generously coat it with jam, cut it into triangular pieces and serve it to friends along with hot tea.

Detailed recipe for Lenten honey gingerbread

The presented method of preparing honey gingerbread is designed to produce a very satisfying and high-calorie dessert that will appeal to both adults and children. But if you are on a diet, then you should not eat such a dish. To do this, it is better to use another recipe, with which you can make an equally tasty homemade delicacy. For it we will need:

• flower honey - 200 ml;
• freshly brewed black tea - ½ cup;
• dark flour - 2 full glasses;
• large country egg - 1 pc.;
• table soda - ½ spoon;
• cocoa powder - 2 large spoons;
• table vinegar - dessert spoon.

Preparing dough for dessert

As mentioned above, the recipe for honey gingerbread may involve the use of completely different ingredients. But if you want to get a dietary dessert, then it is highly recommended not to add sugar to it.

Thus, to knead the dough, you need to brew strong black tea in advance, cool it and strain it completely. Next, you need to add flower honey, beaten country egg and cocoa powder to the drink. After extinguishing the soda with vinegar in the same bowl, add dark flour into it and mix everything thoroughly. As a result, you should get a dough whose consistency resembles thick sour cream.

Formation and heat treatment of dessert

The presented honey gingerbread recipe with photo also recommends using a multicooker for baking the pie. Although you can quite easily use an oven instead.

Thus, you should take a cast-iron frying pan, grease it with sunflower oil using a pastry brush, and then lay out all the previously kneaded dough. Next, you need to place the filled form in a preheated oven. This dessert needs to be prepared for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 195 degrees. After this time, insert a dry toothpick into the gingerbread. If the dough does not stick to the item, then it is completely baked. If the piece of wood becomes wet, then the dessert must be kept at the same temperature for another 7-15 minutes.

Properly serve delicious gingerbread for tea

After the honey dietary product is completely baked, it should be removed from the oven and removed from the pan using a spatula. After placing the dessert on the cake plate, you need to wait until it cools completely. In the future, it needs to be cut into triangular pieces and served with tea.

Let's sum it up

Homemade honey cake is a very nutritious and tasty dessert that can be eaten for breakfast every day. It should be noted that some housewives make such a sweet dish not only with honey, but also with the addition of some kind of jam. So, for making gingerbread, a sweet preparation made from bird cherry, currants and apples is very suitable. With them, this delicacy will turn out even more tasty and aromatic.
