Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 40 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients Layers: - 2 fresh eggs - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 10 tablespoons of sugar for caramelizing - Yeast the size of a walnut - Flour as needed - Grated peel of one orange - 1 cup of milk - 1 cup of oil - 100 g melted butter Cream: - 1 packet of pudding (preferably vanilla flavored) - 400 ml milk - 2 tablespoons of honey - 1 jar (400 g) of blackberry jam - 250 g butter Preparation Step 1: Preparing the layers Start by preparing the layers for the cake. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the 4 tablespoons of sugar until you get a homogeneous and fluffy mixture. Add the yeast, grated orange peel, milk, and oil. Mix all the ingredients well. Now, gradually add flour until you obtain a soft dough that can be shaped. It is important not to overdo it with the flour, as the layers need to be thin and easy to roll. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for 15-20 minutes. Step 2: Baking the layers Once the dough has risen, divide it into three equal parts. Roll out each portion on a floured surface into a thin layer. Place each layer on the bottom of a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden. Make sure the layers do not burn, as they will be covered with caramelized sugar, and a bitter taste is not desired. After baking, let the layers cool completely. Step 3: Caramelizing the sugar Now we move on to caramelizing the sugar. In a pan, add the 10 tablespoons of sugar and let it melt over low heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Once the sugar turns golden and melts completely, remove the pan from the heat and pour the caramel over each cake layer, letting it cool slightly and harden. Step 4: Preparing the cream In a saucepan, add 400 ml of milk and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the pudding packet with 2 tablespoons of honey and a bit of cold milk to avoid lumps. When the milk starts to boil, add the pudding mixture and stir continuously until the composition thickens. Once the cream is ready, let it cool to room temperature. When it has cooled, incorporate the blackberry jam and melted butter. Mix well until the cream becomes homogeneous and creamy. Step 5: Assembling the cake Place the first layer on a platter. Spread a generous layer of cream over it, then cover with the second layer. Repeat the process with the second layer and add another layer of cream. Finally, place the last layer on top. For an elegant look, you can glaze the cake with melted chocolate, which can be made from dark or milk chocolate, according to your preference. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the entire surface of the cake and let it cool until the glaze hardens. Chef's Tip If you want to add a personal touch to your cake, you can try replacing the blackberry jam with other fruit jams, such as raspberry or apricot. These variations will bring a different and delicious flavor. You can also add a little vanilla extract to the pudding cream to enhance the flavors. Nutritional Benefits This cake, although delicious, should be enjoyed in moderation. Each serving has approximately 320 calories, depending on the ingredients used. However, the blackberry jam provides antioxidants and vitamins, and the butter cream offers energy and healthy fats. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use other types of flour? Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the taste and texture of the cake may change. 2. How can I store the cake? The cake stores well in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 3-4 days. 3. Can I freeze the cake? It can be frozen, but it is recommended to assemble it after thawing to maintain the correct textures. Serving and Pairings This cake is excellently served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of fragrant tea. Also, drizzled with caramel sauce or topped with fresh fruit, it becomes an even more sophisticated dessert, perfect for impressing guests. We wish you much success in making this delicious cake!
