Even its assembly method is unusual. And we chose the ingredients in such a way that the taste turns out to be boring. Hardly anyone will say: I have already tried this.
Christmas stolen – ingredients:
Wheat flour – 350 g
Creamy oil 82.5%, 200 g – 1 pack
C1 chicken egg – 3 pcs.
Coconut sugar – 200 g
Powdered sugar – 2 tbsp. spoonsCandied orange (100 g) – 1 pc.
Dried pitted cherry (100 g) – 1 pc.
Dried blueberries (100 g) – 1 pc.
Dried melon, 50 g – 1 pc.
Anise – 2 pcs.
Cardamom – 4 pcs.
Cloves – 6 pcs.
Strong alcohol (rum or other to your taste) – 100 ml
* Anise, cardamom and cloves can be replaced by 1 tbsp. a spoonful of a mixture of spices for tea and coffee
Preparation:
Step 1. Cut the candied orange and dried melon to the size of other dried berries, soak together with the cherry and dove in strong alcohol for a day. If there is no time, put the berries in a pan or a saucepan and add alcohol, slowly evaporate until the berries are soaked (about 10 minutes).
Step 2. Grind the spices (whole) in a mortar or take ready-made ground ones and add them to dried fruits. Leave to cool.
Step 3. While the dried fruits are soaking, prepare the dough. Beat sugar and butter with a mixer, then add eggs and continue to beat until smooth. Add the cooled dried fruits, flour and knead a thick dough.
Step 4. Transfer the dough to the parchment, roll it into an oval, make a little crease in the middle and fold one half of the dough over the other, as if closing a book. Bake in an oven heated to 170 °C for 1.5 hours.
Step 5. Allow the cake to cool and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Delicious!
