I used two recipes to assemble my option and get incredibly delicious cake with a unique taste of coffee, walnuts and rum. I made two cakes of these three ponds. One cut in half and became a semi-cakes for the birthday of my boy. For the upcoming Christmas holidays is very suitable.
Ljube straight zapriglashtah! Tell me, please, cream tight you going? Can this cake to carry the weight of the ornate decoration or soft? Wow, I feel literally smell ...
Rally, really great taste! The cream is cream muslin, at least according to the recipe you use. I tried to give my source, but I do not fit. From here it is: www. kulinarno-joana. com / 2011/05 / mini-biskviteni-tortichki /Heavy decoration seems to me that it would not bear very heavy, but the best option is to do a small test cakes and to enjoy fully and decide okay for heavy decoration;)
Yes, I at first reading I was imagining it soft and softer. Cake itself see her than a juicy ... should not go hungry here, it's inquisition :) :)
Ponds was very tasty, but I get the cream too thick (maybe I have not measured the flour or starch properly). I have a question: How much rum syrup latter must be? I do not put much because I was afraid that the cake will have a very strong alcohol taste was a little dry.
gkostova04, perhaps the latter must you have left dry because the cream you received thick. It must not be very very thick and then absorbed into the latter must and cream. Glad you tried the recipe and you liked. This is a favorite cake in the country - is not complicated, fast and scary is delicious.
