Banana Tart

A very tasty, non-baking recipe for banana lovers :) I did enjoy it a lot :) It is quick, easy and very sweet :) Looks delicious and You can write something or make a nice heart, star, etc- shape on the top :)
The recipe comes from this website, though I made some changes, I skipped lemon juice as it gives a strange taste.



Ingredients:

Bottom:
  • 350g of chocolate/cocoa cookies/biscuits
  • optionally - (if the cookies are cocoa flavoured) - 2 tablespoons of of baking cocoa
  • 100g of butter(melted)

Home-made custard:
  • 60g of potato starch
  • 60g of sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 500ml of milk

Filling&Top:
  • 3-4 bananas, cut into slices
  • 400g of cold 36% cream
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1,5 tablespoon of gelatin + 1/4 glass of water
  • optionally: sauces - caramel, chocolate; baking cocoa - to sprinkle the top, shredded chocolate

Preparation:

Bottom:
  1. Prepare a baking pan for a tart, (around 24 cm diameter) - preferably silicone one, as it is much easier to take out the cake from it (unless You own a tart springform).
  2. Crush the cookies in a food processor or blender's cube cutter or any other method - crush them very precisely (sand-like). Add melted butter, mix precisely. Check with your hand if the bottom is sticky enough, if not, add a little bit more butter.
  3. If necessary - add baking cocoa.
  4. Distribute crushed cookies evenly all over the tart pan (bottom + sides) and press a little.
  5. Put in the fridge.
Custard:
  1. Take a pot, put potato starch, sugar and egg yolks inside and mix. Gradually add milk, mixing all the time. Start heating on a low heat till all the ingredients mix/dissolve precisely and you get a smooth mixture. 
  2. Keep heating (bring to boil) and stiring till it thickens (be careful not to burn it, it tends to stick to the bottom of the pot and burn). If there are any lumps - mix with a mixer or blender. Set aside.

Filling&Top:
  1. Put the 36%cream in the freezer.
  2. Wash and peel bananas, cut into slices.
  3. Take the bottom from the fridge and pour the custard evenly all over the bottom. 
  4. Distribute bananas evenly on the custard (one or two layers if necessary). Put it back in the fridge.
  5. Take a pot, put gelatin and water inside, mix. Heat and stir till it melts and set aside. 
  6. Take a mixer and its bowl, start beating the cream with sugar (around 10 minutes). After that time add gelatin and mix precisely.
  7. Take the cake from the fridge, distribute whipped cream evenly on the entire top.
  8. Decorate in a desired way.
  9. Bon Appetit :)

Sweet Meringue Plum Cake

I always wait so impatiently for plum season. I do love preparing plum cakes, they're always so delicious (even though I'm not really a plum-fan ;) )! I know I've waited too long to share this cake with You, but I hope that - at least for some of You - it is not too late :) Besides, it is possible to use frozen plums ;)
This is another wonderful and elegant cake from KwestiaSmaku, which I share with You today and also I do recommend to try this one, right after the very best plum cake, which You can find here.



Ingredients:

  • 250g of flour
  • 50g of sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 200g of margarine
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1kg of plums (without kernels, cut into halves) fresh or frozen (need to be defrost)

Budyń/Custard (it is possible to double the amount of custard in this cake):
  • 1 packaging of vanilla custard (40g)
  • 500ml of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar

Meringue:
  • 4 egg whites 
  • 200g of sugar
  • 3 teaspoons of potato starch 


Optionally - one of these:
  • A handful of hazelnuts, to sprinkle the top (I skipped it)
  • almond flakes (to sprinkle the fruit) 
  • shredded coconut (to sprinkle the fruit or to mix with meringue)

Preparation:

Dough:
  1. Start preheating the oven to 170C.
  2. Prepare a rectangular baking pan (around 26x36 cm), grease it and put baking paper all over it.
  3. Take a big bowl, put flour, sugar, salt and baking powder inside. Mix. Add cold butter and knead till you get crumbles.
  4. Add egg yolks and knead again.
  5. Distribute evenly all over the bottom of previously prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for around 20 minutes, till it becomes gold.
  6. Take it out from the oven.
Custard + plums:
  1. Prepare the custard as the instructions on a packaging says (using 500ml of milk + 2 tablespoons of sugar). 
  2. When the custard is ready, pour it all over the previously baked bottom.
  3. Add plums, cover the entire cake bottom with them (there is no need to wait till the custard cools down). Make 2 layers of plums, one on another.
  4. Optionally - sprinkle with almond flakes or shredded coconut if desired. Set aside.
Meringue + finishing the cake:
  1. Take a mixer and its bowl, put egg whites inside, beat, adding sugar gradually, till it stiffens (around 10-15 minutes). At the end, sieve potato starch inside and mix till smooth.
  2. Here - if You haven't and You do fancy to do it - you can mix in some shredded coconut.
  3. Distribute the meringue all over the top of the plums.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, setting the temperature as previously, on 170C.
  5. After 20 minutes, decrease the temperature to 60C, turn on the hot air cooking, (optionally sprinkle the top with hazelnuts) and bake for another 20 minutes.
  6. Take out from the oven.
  7. Bon Appetit! :)

Rafaello vol.2

I had some packs of crackers left and I needed a cake, extremely quickly with short preparation time. So I decided to upgrade the basic recipe and here it comes! It is definitely better than the previous one :)

Ingredients: (for a small rectangular pan, otherwise there's not enough cream, but You can double the ingredients and make double cream, then You'll also need more crackers)


  • 1 litre of 3,2% milk
  • 2 vanilla powdered custards, 40g each (or double the recipe for this budyń, recipe here ;) )
  • 2 tablespoons of potato starch
  • 3/4 glass of sugar
  • 2-3 vanilla sugars (16g each)
  • 1-3 tablespoon of Amaretto Syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 250g of margarine
  • 100g of shredded coconut 
  • 2-3(3-5 if bigger pan) packs of crackers (rectangular shape)
  • 330 ml of 36% cream  (or artificial, powdered one)
  • 1/3 glass of powdered sugar

Optional ingredients:
  • almond flakes, for sprinkling the top

Preparation of budyn/custard:

For those of You, who has powdered custard, follow the steps below, if You can't buy powdered budyn/custard then follow all the steps in that recipe, just remember to double all the ingredients.
  1. Take a glass, fill 3/4 of it with milk. Add powdered custard and potato starch. Stir till smooth (no clumps please!)
  2. Take a pot, put all the remaining milk in there, add sugar, start boiling. Stir from time to time to help the sugar dissolve. Bring to boil and add the mixture from the glass. Lower the heat, stir energetically till it turns thick. Cool down.
Now, when the custard is ready: 
  1. Using a stand mixer, mix butter with egg yolk, adding cooled down custard, one tablespoon after another.
  2. Add Amaretto syrup, gradually, mixing and tasting after every tablespoon to check how strong the Amaretto taste is for You.
  3. Add shredded coconut, mix till it links.
  4. Take a rectangular pan - preferably a rectangular springform pan (no baking paper inside is necessary, in both cases).
  5. Put one layer of crackers and start adding some part of the cream, to cover the entire crackers layer.
  6. Put another layer of crackers and cream - repeat till all the ingredients are used, the last layer are crackers.
Now prepare the whipped cream:
  1. Before preparing the whipped cream make sure your cream is really, really cool (I always put it in the freezer before beating, for around 10-15 minutes). 
  2. Take a mixer and its bowl, put cream inside, start mixing. After a while add powdered sugar and something to stiffen it (powdered whipped cream/smietan-fix). 
  3. Beat for around 10 minutes (depending on the power of a mixer it might take more or less time, keep paying attention not to make butter).
  4. Distribute whipped cream all over the top.
  5. Cover the cake with foil, put in the frigde for at least 3 hours.
  6. Bon Appetit! ;)

  3. Add mixed filling.

  7. If the oven is ready, put the cake inside and bake for 70 minutes till golden brown.

  9. Take out from the oven and serve for instance with powdered sugar on the top or with some vanilla ice cream.
  10. Bon Appetit! :)

Rafaello

Finally! :) After few considerations and reading many descriptions about this cake, I finally decided to prepare it :) Prepare - not bake, because it is a non-baking cake! ;) (and I really, really love such cakes - time&energy saving ;) ). I prepared it, mixing all the ideas for this cake I found on the Internet. I must honestly admit that all the people who tried it enjoyed it a lot. To my great surprise, among many (from my point of view) better cakes, this Rafaello was the one that disappeared first. 
And - this is another cake, after greatest-of-them-all Gourmet Sensation and it's brother Gourmet Sensation vol 2. which really gets better with time! (second day, amazing!) 
I do recommend! Easy, not expensive, wonderful cake, both in its appearance and taste :)
Though, surprisingly, this cake might be even better - try the second version of Rafaello here.

Ingredients: (for a small rectangular pan, otherwise there's not enough cream, but You can double the ingredients and make double cream, then You'll also need more crackers)

  • 1 litre of 3,2% milk
  • 2 vanilla powdered custards, 40g each (or double the recipe for this budyń, recipe here ;) )
  • 2 tablespoons of potato starch
  • 3/4 glass of sugar
  • 2-3 vanilla sugars (16g each)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 250g of butter
  • 200g of shredded coconut (150g for the cream, 50g to sprinkle the top)
  • 2-3(3-5 if bigger pan) packs of crackers (rectangular shape)

Optional ingredients:
  • almond flakes, for sprinkling the top
  • 1/2 glass of vodka or 
  • 1/2-3/4 glass of advocaat (if You wish to add any alcohol, I would recommend this one)

Preparation of budyn/custard:

For those of You, who has powdered custard, follow the steps below, if You can't buy powdered budyn/custard then follow all the steps in that recipe, just remember to double all the ingredients.

  1. Take a glass, fill 3/4 of it with milk. Add powdered custard and potato starch. Stir till smooth (no clumps please!)
  2. Take a pot, put all the remaining milk in there, add sugar, start boiling. Stir from time to time to help the sugar dissolve. Bring to boil and add the mixture from the glass. Lower the heat, stir energetically till it turns thick. Cool down.
Now, when the custard is ready: 
  1. Using a stand mixer, mix butter with egg yolk, adding cooled down custard, one tablespoon after another.
  2. Here is a good time to add alcohol and mix.
  3. Add shredded coconut (leave around 50g for sprinkling the top), mix till it links.
  4. Take a rectangular pan - preferably a rectangular springform pan (no baking paper inside is necessary, in both cases).
  5. Put one layer of crackers and start adding some part of the cream, to cover the entire crackers layer (yes, I realize how hard it is to distribute the cream, You can use many techniques to make it easier - for example: put some lumps and try to link them or distribute the cream through syringe and then smooth it with a spoon)
  6. Put another layer of crackers and cream - repeat till all the ingredients are used, the last layer is cream.
  7. Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut or/and almond flakes.
  8. Cover the cake with foil, put in the frigde for at least 3 hours.
  9. Bon Appetit! ;)

*if powdered:
you will need 2 sachets which need to be combined with milk (the method of preparing it is written on the sachet, you will probably need around 200 ml of milk per sachet)
* if real, fresh, liquid one, to whip it up: 1 packaging(around 330 ml, but it is ok to use more)  + 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar + here I do recommend using some kind of powder that can stiffen the cream (in Poland: śmietan-fix, made mainly of glucose and starch)

Preparation:

Briefly, tiers:

  7. Stir the fudge slowly, check if it isn't burning anyhow (though it shouldn't).
  8. If the water with tins already boils, stir the fudge and turn off the heat. Using for instance a tea towel, take the first tin and a spoon, and pour the fudge on the biscuits. Distribute all over the biscuits. Take another tin and reapeat the action.

'Everyberry' crumble cake with custard foam

Why everyberry? Because it is possible to add many different fruit - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries... or event currants :) It is possible to make it from one kind of fruits or to mix some of them. It is absolutely a wonderful cake. During this year's summer holidays I made it a couple of times! I do recommend preparing it with double foam (I will write below how to bake it, because it differs from the basic version).
A must-do!


Ingredients for the dough:
  • 2,5 glasses of flour
  • 250 g of cold butter or margarine 
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  • 5 egg yolks (do not throw away the whites, they are necessary to make the foam! Put them aside.)

Ingredients for the foam:*

  • 5 egg whites
  • 1 glass of sugar
  • 1 packaging of vanilla sugar (16g)
  • 2 packagings (40 g each) of powdered vanilla/cream custard (budyń, budyń again!) 
  • 1/2 glass of oil

* I do recommend making double foam - if so, just double every ingredient - 10 egg whites (but the bottom of the cake, the dough, takes only 5 yolks, it doesn't change!) 2 glasses of sugar, etc. Then, we bake the bottom as the basic recipe says, but the second baking will take around 30-40 minutes in 170-180C.


Additional ingredients - the top:

  • 500-600 g of fruit (for example 200 g of raspberries, 200 g of blueberries, 200 g of currants)
  • powdered sugar, to sprinkle the top


Preparation:
  1. Take a big bowl. Put the flour, baking powder, powdered sugar and egg yolks inside. Chop the butter and add it to that bowl as well. Knead it quickly. Divide the dough into 2 spheres - one 60% of the dough and another 40%. Twist every piece around a cling film and put inside the freezer for an hour or 2. (It is possible to prepare the dough one day earlier).
  2. Take a rectangular pan. Grease it and put baking paper all over the pan. 
  3. Take the bigger sphere from the freezer and grate it on the entire bottom of the pan(the smaller one remains in the freezer). Bake it in 190C for around 20minutes (till it gets a light-gold colour). Cool down.
  4. While the cake is cooling down, wash all the fruit and put them on paper towels, to let them dry.
  5. When the bottom of the cake is cooled down, start preparing the foam.
  6. Take a big bowl, put egg whites inside. Beat till stiff (around 7-9 minutes). One tablespoon after another, add sugar and vanilla sugar, still mixing. Without stopping the mixer, add powdered custard and slowly, the oil.
  7. Put the foam on a cooled down bottom of the cake. 
  8. Put all the fruit on the foam.
  9. Take the second sphere and grate it on the top of the cake.
  10. Bake in 190C for 30-40 minutes.
  11. Cool down, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  12. Bon, bon Appetit! :)

Muffin cake with seasonal fruit and meringue


There is one, particular muffin recipe that I do love. The dough is soft, fluffy, it melts in your mouth. And I thought about a cake made of that recipe, with seasonal fruit... and some my private topping ideas...and it appeared to be delicious :) worth trying :) 


Ingredients:

  • 300 g of butter
  • 2 glasses of sugar
  • 1 glass + 2 tablespoons of potato flour
  • 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 6 small eggs or 4 big ones
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • 3/4 glass of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • fruit - blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc

Top:

  • 2 packagings of budyn (or 2x ingredients from this recipe)
  • 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
  • 1-2 packaging(s) of ready-made meringue (of course you can use your own, home made if you wish)

Preparation:


Base, the dough:
  1. Take a bigger pot. Cutting butter into smaller pieces, put it inside. Melt on a low heat (2-4 minutes or shorter if it starts burning). 
  2. Take it out of the stove. Add sugar, potato flour, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir quickly to make it link. Cool down.
  3. Add eggs - one after another, stiring after every egg. Add flour, baking powder, stir.
  4. Take a rectangular pan, put the dough inside, distribute all over the form.
  5. Add fruit - all over the cake.
  6. Put in the oven for around 30-45 minutes on 150-170C, till it gets golden colour. (I set 160C).*! Check, using a toothpick, if the cake is ready.
  7. When done, cool down.
Top:
  1. Prepare 2 ' budyń ' as the packagings (or recipe - double it) says. When ready, add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, stir. Pour it on the cake, distribute all over the cake.
  2. Sprinkle with meringue (try to choose meringue that has no additional flavour)
  3. Sprinkle with fruit.
  4. Keep in the fridge.
  5. Bon Appetit ! :)

*Keep looking - every oven works differently (mind that some ovens tend to burn some parts - for example things that are at the back of the oven) don't let it get gold too fast, because the inside will be raw.

Ingredients:
  • 4 packs of biscuits (butter ones)
  • 2 vanilla 'custards' (a Polish kind of custard, you can find it on the Internet, it is called ' budyn'. If you can't find in your shops anything of that kind, here is a recipe for home-made 'budyn', you'll probably need to double the ingredients to make it suitable for that cake)
  • 2 jars of cherry jam
  • 2 tins of fudge
  • cream 36%: 2 options:
*if powdered:
2 sachets to be prepared with milk (the preparation is written on the sachet, it will be something around 200 ml of milk per sachet)
* if real one, to whip it up: 1 packaging  + 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar + here I do recommend using some kind of powder that can stiffen the cream (in Poland: śmietan-fix, made mainly of glucose and starch)


Preparation:

Briefly, tiers:
  1. biscuits
  2. pudding
  3. biscuits
  4. jam
  5. biscuits
  6. fudge
  7. biscuits
  8. cream
Description:

* every tier will be put on the entire baking sheet surface
  1. Take your baking sheet, grease it and put the baking paper inside (leave some baking paper sticking out of the baking sheet - it will help you getting the cake out of the baking sheet unless you have a sides that you tak take out, then don't)
  2. Put one tier of biscuits on the bottom of your baking sheet (rectangled preffered)

  3. Prepare the custard and pour it on the biscuits  (don't wait till it cools down)


  4. Take a pot, open the tins with fudge, put them in the pot, pour some water to the pot, so that the water covers 3/4 of the tins. Boil on a low heat (keep looking at it, but nothing bad should happen)
  5. Put another tier of biscuits - no need to wait till the pudding is cold
  6. Put the jam on the biscuits


  7. Stir slowly the fudge, check if it is not burning anyhow (it shouldn't)
  8. Put another tier of biscuits
  9. If the water with tins already boils, stir and turn it off. Using a tea towel, take the tin and a spoon, and pour the fudge on the biscuits. Take another tin and do the same.

  10. Put another tier of biscuits.
  11. Prepare whipped cream.


  12. Put the cake in the fridge (for few hours, even entire night)
  13. Keep in the fridge.
  14. Bon Appetit! :)
