Prunes stuffed with walnuts and garlic

Rinse the dried fruits thoroughly, soak in water, and very carefully remove the seeds so as not to tear them - stuff the halves with finely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts. Place in bowls and generously top with sour cream whipped with powdered sugar. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Resourceful housewives have slightly diversified the recipes for prunes with nuts: - You can use whipped cream with condensed milk or fruit yogurt as a topping. - Pour gelatin over all products and cool. - Dip each piece in hot chocolate to make homemade candies.

The five most commonly used ingredients in recipes are:

Add honey, strong alcohol, citrus zest - grind a little in a blender until small pieces form, wrap in cling film and form sweet sausages. - Knead the minced meat with grated hard cheese, garlic, mayonnaise - serve the resulting savory appetizer on skewers or on lettuce leaves. It is important that all ingredients are soft, otherwise it will not taste good. Therefore, you should choose sun-dried plums, not dried ones, and preferably pitted ones - it can be difficult to separate them from the pulp. If soaking in cold water or scalding with boiling water does not help, you can boil the prunes along with the filling for 15 minutes in fruit syrup.

I'm very glad to meet you)

And here I am again with cake, there can never be too many of them :)

Although there are so many cake recipes now that it’s impossible to make too many, most often I still make those that I have already baked several times, time-tested and loved by my family.

Today is one of them: a delicious homemade cake with prune and walnut cream.

I came across this recipe for a cake with prunes and walnuts with sour cream a long time ago, in one of the issues of “Our Kitchen,” a culinary magazine that I still subscribe to. In the original it was called “Rose Bush” because its author, Vera Kaverina from Yoshkar-Ola, decorated it with roses baked from biscuit dough.

Several times I strictly followed the recipe, sculpted roses, but I always wanted to decorate them with the help of the delicious ingredients included in the recipe - nuts and prunes, I also need to be able to sculpt the roses)). In general, that's what I do.

If you love prunes, then this recipe is definitely for you. The cake is not too sweet, with delicate sour cream and prune cream. And, it seems to me, it is suitable for summer celebrations on a par with more than, for example, .

So if you have a reason, try this delicious recipe for a cake with prunes and sour cream, a photo and step-by-step preparation of which I will now give you. Or you can bake it for no reason 😉

Let's get started.

Ingredients

Dough:

Cream:

Recipe

Dough

Grind the butter with the yolks and sugar, add slaked soda and sour cream. Add flour, knead the dough. Divide into 3 parts, add cocoa to one, bake three cakes.

Cream

Chop the nuts. Pass the prunes through a meat grinder or blender. Beat the butter with 0.5 cups of sugar. Separately, beat sour cream with 0.5 sugar. Mix two creams, add prunes and nuts.

Assembly and decoration

Coat the cakes with cream. Coat the cake with it on the sides and top. Garnish with chopped nuts and prunes.

Cake with prunes and sour cream, recipe with photos step by step

As always, baking has its own nuances, so I’ll tell you about the cooking process in more detail and more colorfully - with photographs.

Remove the butter in advance so that it softens. Grind it with sugar and yolks with a spoon, you get a whitish mass.

Add soda doused with sour cream. The first time, my long-term habit worked - they extinguish soda with vinegar, but I listened to the author, extinguished it with sour cream, nothing terrible happened, the cakes rose. However, from time to time I still add baking powder for splendor. This time, for the sake of the purity of the experiment, I didn’t add it)

Let me remind you that if you add baking powder, first stir it into the flour so that it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Now add flour and knead the dough.

Divide it into three parts and add cocoa into one.

I divide it into three pieces in a bowl, put one in another bowl and add cocoa there, it mixes in easily.

We bake the cakes one at a time. This can be done quickly, since they cook within 7-10 minutes.

Start with a light-colored dough so you can tell by appearance how long it will take to bake in your oven.

For baking, I used a mold with a diameter of 25 cm. Don’t be afraid that there is not enough dough, that you can’t spread it out evenly, and that there won’t be enough for the entire mold. It spreads easily with a spoon moistened with water.

And then it turns out to be such cute cakes.

When the cakes have cooled, trim off the uneven edges, they will be used for decoration.

Now sour cream with prunes for the cake

Now, hurray!, prunes are sold without seeds and are so soft that you don’t need to steam them, just wash them. If your prunes are dry and have pits, you will have to steam them first and remove the pits.

After all the manipulations, we pass the prunes through a meat grinder.

Honestly, when I make a cake in double volume, then I’m not too lazy to take out the meat grinder. But when you only need to grind half a kilogram, it seems to me that more labor will be spent on getting out and washing the meat grinder.

Therefore, this time I crushed it with a blender. The pieces turn out a little larger, but this is not critical.

Chop the walnuts into small pieces. I don’t bother with the same sizes, and as best I can, I break it with my hands and chop it with a knife.

In a separate bowl, beat the butter with half the amount of sugar - 0.5 cups.

Again, separately beat the sour cream with the remaining half a glass of sugar.

Mix the two creams, add chopped prunes and nuts.

Now all that remains is to assemble and decorate.

If you are scared by the amount of cream, don’t worry about using so much of it. It will be partially absorbed perfectly, the rest will harden.

Therefore, we spread it on the lower light cake, sparing a little less than a third of the cream. Top with cocoa cake. Then again the cream, and again the light cake.

We coat the sides and begin to bring beauty.

Chop the edges of the cut cakes. I just roll them with a rolling pin. And sprinkle on the sides and top of the cake.

For decoration I used nuts, prunes and chocolate, sprinkle and arrange them as your imagination dictates.

The cake is ready.

It turns out not too big, a little more than a kilogram, just suitable for a home party. For crowded celebrations I make a double portion.

I must say that a large cake with prunes and walnuts according to this recipe turns out even tastier, apparently soaking better under its own weight.

But the cream should not be completely absorbed; it remains a thick layer. That’s right, the cream is very tasty, you could eat it as a dessert on its own))

I usually put all cakes that need to be soaked in the refrigerator only after 2-3 hours, so the cakes are quickly saturated with the taste and smell of the cream.

Enjoy your tea :)
