Sweet Cheese and Raisin Cake with Green Sugar The cake is more than just a simple dessert; it is a true tradition, a symbol of special moments spent with loved ones. In this recipe, I propose a cake with sweet cheese and raisins, sweetened with Green Sugar, which combines delicate flavors and fluffy texture. It is perfect for holidays, but also for ordinary days when you want to indulge in a delicious dessert. Let's see together how we can prepare this cake step by step! Preparation time: 30 minutes Rising time: 1 hour Baking time: 45-50 minutes Total time: 2 hours and 20 minutes Number of servings: 2 cakes Ingredients: For the starter: - 200 ml lukewarm milk - 1 teaspoon Green Sugar - 1 tablespoon flour - 50 g fresh yeast For the dough: - 1 kg flour - 1 pinch of salt - 4 tablespoons Green Sugar - 2 eggs - 150-200 ml oil - Lukewarm milk (as needed) For the filling: - 300 g sweet cheese - 4 tablespoons Green Sugar (or to taste) - 80 g raisins - Zest of one lemon - Turkish delight (optional, to taste) For brushing: - 1 egg Preparation: 1. Preparing the starter: In a bowl, add the lukewarm milk and dissolve the crushed fresh yeast in it. Add the teaspoon of Green Sugar and the tablespoon of flour, mixing well. Let the starter rise for about 15-20 minutes until it becomes frothy. This process will activate the yeast, ensuring that the dough rises beautifully. 2. Preparing the dough: In another large bowl, sift the flour and mix it with the pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the beaten eggs, oil, and the risen starter. Start mixing gently with a spatula. Gradually add the lukewarm milk as needed until you obtain a soft and non-sticky dough. If you want a richer dough, you can use 200 ml of oil. 3. Kneading: Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Then, cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in volume. 4. Preparing the filling: Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the sweet cheese with the 4 tablespoons of Green Sugar, raisins, and lemon zest. This combination will bring a unique taste to the cake, and the flavors will blend perfectly during baking. 5. Shaping the cake: After the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Take one part of the dough and roll it out into a rectangular sheet. Spread the cheese filling over the sheet and roll it up gently lengthwise, forming a log. Repeat the process with the other part of the dough, but this time sprinkle the diced Turkish delight over the sheet before rolling it up. 6. Second rising: Place the shaped cakes in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them. Let them rise for another 30 minutes. 7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Brush the cakes with beaten egg and sprinkle a little Green Sugar on top to achieve a golden and delicious crust. Bake the cakes for 45-50 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. 8. Cooling and serving: Once the cakes are ready, remove them from the oven and cover them with a clean towel to keep them fluffy. Let them cool completely before slicing. They can be served warm or at room temperature, alongside a cup of milk or tea. Practical tips: - To achieve an even fluffier dough, you can add 50 g of melted butter to the dough. - If you want a nut version, replace the raisins with ground nuts, and the filling can be sweetened to taste. - Use well-drained sweet cheese to avoid excess moisture in the dough. Nutritional benefits: The sweet cheese cake is a good source of protein, thanks to the cheese and eggs. Additionally, raisins add fiber and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced diet. Green Sugar is a healthy alternative to traditional sugar, having a lower glycemic index. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, but the cake will have a different texture and may require a larger amount of liquid. - How can I keep the cake fresh? You can store it in a plastic bag or an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. This sweet cheese and raisin cake is not just a delicious dessert, but also a wonderful way to bring family and friends together. It can be served as is or with a cup of warm milk, turning any meal into a celebration. Enjoy every slice and let yourself be carried away by its enticing aromas! Enjoy your meal!
