Lean cake recipe

Products used:

For the test:

• Flour - 250 gr.
• Sunflower oil - 100 ml.
• Cherry syrup or juice - 300 ml.
• Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. l.
• Sugar as needed.
• Baking powder - 15 gr.
• Vanillin.

For the cream:

• Cherry syrup or juice - 400 ml.
• Semolina - 2 tbsp. l.
• Lemon juice optional.
• Cherry.

How to make a lean cake:

At the very beginning, we take the cherry in syrup, put it on a sieve, press the berries a little so that the syrup runs well. I use canned cherries, in which the syrup is very concentrated, so during the preparation process I will dilute it with water to the required volume. But you can take absolutely any cherry, replace the syrup with ready-made juice. For example, you defrost a frozen berry, put it in a strainer, strain it out. The resulting juice can also be diluted with water, but not too much, the cake should have a cherry note. Trust your taste, in the future when preparing such a lean cake, you will understand what concentration the juice should be.

So, first we cook the cream so that we do not wait until it cools down later. Pour cherry syrup into a saucepan, put on fire, add sugar if necessary. Try it and do it to your liking. The liquid boils, pour out a little semolina so that it does not come in lumps, we constantly interfere. Cook until the cereals are cooked for about ten minutes. The liquid thickened, became like a jelly. Be sure to try it for sweetness, and decide whether to add sugar or not. It turned out too sweet, pour in the juice of squeezed lemon to your liking, but if the cherry juice is already sour, this is not necessary. Cover the pan with a lid and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Now, let's do the test. In a separate container, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa, vanillin. The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the juice you use. I don't add it at all, my syrup is pretty sweet so. Mix syrup with butter, add to flour mixture, and stir well. The dough turns out to be liquid, do not worry, it should be so. Cover the bottom of the mold (21 cm in diameter) with baking paper, grease with oil, pour the dough into it. In a preheated oven to 180 ° C, we send to bake for 45 minutes.

And now let's get down to the fun part, whipping the cream. When I prepared such a lean cake for the first time, for me, I think, as for you now, this process was mysterious. How does an ordinary cherry semolina porridge turn into an airy cream? It turned out to be very simple. So let's take a look at this magic. The cream has cooled down, look how thick it has become. We drive it in with a mixer for only a few minutes. That's all!

See how it turned white, increased in volume, became thick and airy. Incredibly, the cream has become similar to whipped proteins and acquired, one might say, a marshmallow taste with a fruity note.

The baking time has passed, we take out the cake, and check for readiness with a thin wooden stick (toothpick). We insert it in the middle of the cake, then take it out, it is dry and clean, which means that our biscuit is ready. Without removing their shapes, we leave until they cool completely, then carefully remove them. We cut off the top, put it aside, we will need it later. Cut the rest of the biscuit into two cakes, look at what a delicate soft biscuit without eggs turned out - it's just a miracle. Well, now, put the bottom cake on the dish, install the culinary ring, or the ring of the form in which it was baked, but you can form it without it.

We spread about half of the cream on the cake, level it, distribute the cherries on top, cover with another cake, and apply the cream again, leaving a little to cover the sides. We put the cake in the refrigerator for half an hour. Part of the biscuit, which was cut off, grind into crumbs with a blender. After 30 minutes we take out the cake, carefully remove it from the mold, coat the sides with the remaining cream, sprinkle with biscuit crumbs on top and sides, then put in the refrigerator for several hours. But if you really can't wait to try the chocolate-cherry lean cake with airy cream, as I did, then cut off a piece, put it on a plate, and taste it with pleasure, I assure you it is very tasty even without impregnation.

I do not just advise, and even insist, make sure to prepare such a lean cake. You will not regret it! See what beauty you got? And, what a delicious m-mmm, you will lick your fingers ...

Put it on the table, and invite the whole family for a cup of tea. Do not say that you have baked a lean cake, you will see, no one will even understand what it is made of. Well, if there is no patience, and you really want to say, then do it after you are full. I'm sure everyone will be very surprised and will ask for more. So, cook without a doubt, treat, and enjoy!
