Total preparation time: 60 minutes Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients: - 8 egg whites - 200 g sugar - 50 g grated coconut - 100 g poppy seeds - 4 tablespoons of flour - A pinch of salt - Vanilla (optional, to enhance the flavor) Instructions: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature, as they whip much better. Also, measure all the ingredients before you start for a smoother cooking process. 2. Whipping the egg whites: In a large bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they start to foam. Then, increase the speed and gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until you achieve a firm and glossy meringue. 3. Combining the ingredients: Once the meringue is ready, add the grated coconut and poppy seeds. Gently fold in with a spatula, using up-and-down motions to avoid losing air in the mixture. Finally, fold in the flour, mixing gently. 4. Baking the layers: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or 160 degrees for a fan oven). Line a baking tray approximately 30x20 cm with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the tray and level the surface. Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes or until it turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 5. Cooling and serving: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely. For a personal touch, you can add a thin layer of chocolate glaze or a fresh fruit sauce on top. These variations not only enhance the cake's appearance but also its flavor, turning it into an even more special dessert. Practical tips: - Make sure the bowl and utensils used for whipping the egg whites are completely clean and free of grease; otherwise, the egg whites will not whip well. - You can replace poppy seeds with other ingredients such as ground nuts or almonds to experiment with different flavors. - If you want to enrich the dessert, you can add some pieces of candied fruit to the mixture. The Tosca cake with poppy seeds and coconut is not only a simple recipe but also an excellent choice for family desserts or gatherings with friends. With a bit of patience and love, you will achieve a perfect result that will impress everyone!
