Product Composition

• 250 milliliters of orange juice + mango (or any other juice, to your taste);
• 300 grams of wheat flour;
• 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder;
• 100 milliliters of refined sunflower oil;
• a third of a teaspoon of salt;
• 120-150 grams of granulated sugar (depending on the juice).

For cream

• 500 milliliters of orange juice, mango or any other;
• 100 grams of granulated sugar;
• 20 grams of potato starch (or 30 grams of corn starch);
• 35 grams of semolina;
• two tablespoons of vegetable oil (or 30 grams of coconut oil);
• a pinch of salt.

Cream Lenten Cake: A Step-by-Step Cooking Process

First, make a biscuit dough. Pour fruit juice into a deep bowl: I have orange and mango juice. You can take any other juice, but it must be freshly squeezed or of good quality in-store. Add salt and granulated sugar to it, mix with a whisk until the dry components dissolve.

Then pour refined sunflower oil in a bowl with juice, mix. We mix wheat flour with a baking powder, sift it through a sieve immediately into a bowl. With a whisk, knead the dough. You can use a mixer and a food processor. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment paper, and grease the sides with vegetable oil and sprinkle with flour.

Tip. It is best to use a special non-stick emulsion to lubricate the form, which you can easily cook with a recipe from our website. Pour the dough into the mold, send it to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 23-25 \u200b\u200bminutes. Readiness, as always, is checked with a wooden skewer. Lubricate the lattice with vegetable oil and turn the baked biscuit onto it. Remove the paper from it, leave the cake on the wire rack until it cools completely.

At this time, we’ll prepare the lean cream ourselves. Pour any juice into the pan, add a few crystals of salt and granulated sugar to taste. We put the saucepan on the stove. As soon as it begins to boil, we pour in semifinished semolina, constantly stirring with a whisk so that there are no lumps. As soon as the juice boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook for five minutes. At this time, the juice should look like a thick jelly. Pour cold water into a bowl with starch, mix.

Pour starch into thick juice in a thin stream, constantly stirring with a whisk. Then add vegetable oil, mix and bring to a boil. Turn off the fire immediately. We remove the cream to the side until completely cooled, and then beat with a mixer until smooth. At the cooled biscuit, cut off the top (we will need it to sprinkle the cake), and cut the rest in half along.

Put the first cake on a flat dish, saturate it with juice, and then grease with half the cream. Cover with a second cake, saturate it and cover with the remaining cream. Grind the top of the biscuit in any convenient way, and then sprinkle the cake. We clean the lean cake with cream for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, and then serve it on the table.

Have a nice tea party and good mood.
