Poppy seed cake

Bitter orange marmalade is a nice fruity contrast to the dough of this almond and poppy seed cake decorated with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Sweet pastry For approx. 12 pieces

for 1 opening pan of approx. 18 cm Ø

80 g of poppy seeds

2 large eggs

1 pinch of salt

60 g of sugar

60 g of butter

30 g of powdered sugar

50 g of white flour

200 g of ground almonds

180 g of bitter orange jams

powdered sugar to decorate

1 orange, only the zest

How to proceed

Preparation:

ca. 30 minutes

Cooking in the oven:

ca. 25 minutes

Total time:

55 min

Heat the oven to 180 ° C then line the pan with baking paper. Crush the poppy seeds in a mortar (see tip). Separate the yolks from the whites and whisk the egg whites until stiff with the salt. Add the sugar and continue beating the cream for a little longer.

Froth the butter with the icing sugar. Add one yolk after the other, then the poppy seeds, flour and almonds. Stir in the beaten egg whites. Pour the mixture into the pan and cook for approx. 25 minutes in the centre of the oven. When cooked, let the cake rest for approx. 5 minutes inside the oven turned off with the door open. Arrange the cake on a grid and divide it into two equal parts horizontally.

Set aside some orange marmalade and use the rest to fill the poppy seed cake. Brush the rest of the jam on top of the cake. Let the cake cool then sprinkle with icing sugar. Finally, decorate with the zest of orange peel. You may be interested to read liver and eggs recipe/ Belgian endive salad recipe/ Pork stew with carrots recipe.

Useful tips

As soon as the poppy seeds are pounded, the oil inside them is released and develops a delicate aroma. The cake, therefore, remains nice and moist. The seeds can be pounded a little at a time in a mortar. Special mortars are often used for larger quantities. As soon as the seeds appear darker and oily, they are ready to be used.

The poppy seed cake will keep for a few days.

POLENTA GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA, A FIRST RUSTIC

-

Polenta gnocchi with gorgonzola dumplings, a true symphony of first fruits Polenta gnocchi with gorgonzola is a very tasty first course, with a rustic character and quite simple to prepare. They differ from traditional gnocchi as they are not made with potatoes, but with polenta. Consequently, the procedure is also quite different. To prepare these dumplings, in fact, the polenta must first be cooked (using other ingredients, such as gorgonzola) and then divided into balls. The result is different than usual and is able to tantalize the palate. Also from an aesthetic point of view, it looks good, especially for a pleasant golden yellow (also thanks to the passage to the grill). As for the nutritional principles, I must admit, we are not dealing with a light dish. Also because there are many ingredients that exceed the number of carbohydrates and fats. I believe, however, that once in a while an exception to the rule is good, on some occasions it is allowed to yield to taste without thi...

  Crostini with smoked mackerel, colour and taste for a delicate appetizer Crostini with smoked mackerel are small appetizers able to satisfy the palate and the sight. Among other things, they are also the classic appetizers that allow you to make a good impression in the presence of your diners. Firstly because they are simply delicious, secondly because they offer unusual scents. In fact, they are the result of uncommon combinations neither within the starters category nor among the first or second courses. In short, these crostini with smoked mackerel represent something new, which certainly will not fail to tantalize the palate. True, in some cases the ingredients are not so available. The reference is above all to the spinal, a fish preparation that I will deepen in the next paragraph. However, the recipe is really simple, in fact, it involves simply composing the croutons. The only element of difficulty, if you can call it that, concerns the creation of the emulsion, which is...
