Cooking sweet Mannik cake
Raw eggs must be thoroughly ground with a glass of granulated sugar. For those who do not like sweets, you can reduce the amount of sugar to half a glass. In this case, be sure to use two eggs for kneading.
Add baking soda after extinguishing it with vinegar. Add vanillin or one packet of vanilla sugar on the tip of a knife. Whisk all ingredients well.
Pour a glass of kefir or yogurt into the mixture. Stir again. Pour semolina and flour to the rest of the dough components. Knead the batter for the sweet cake. The consistency of the dough should be like very thick sour cream.
Prepare a deep baking dish (preferably with a split side). Place oiled paper on the bottom of the mold. Grease the edges of the mold with butter. Pour the dough gently. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Place the dough form into it. Bake the pie for about forty-five minutes.
Remove the finished cake from the mold. Let it cool slightly and cover with glaze.
The cooled cake can be cut into two layers using a thick thread and smeared with jam or jam.
Preparing the icing for pouring the cake
You will need:
- 2 - 3 tablespoons of raw milk;
- 1 teaspoon of butter;
- half a glass of granulated sugar.
Chocolate lovers can add two tablespoons of cocoa and cinnamon to the icing for flavor.
Place milk and butter in a small metal container and put on low heat. Heat the mixture, stir and add granulated sugar. With continuous stirring, bring the glaze mass until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the prepared syrup over the cake.
You can also decorate a sweet cake with chopped nuts or candied fruits. "Mannik" sprinkled with coconut flakes or caramel crumbs will also be tasty. For those who don't like icing, sprinkle icing sugar on top of the cake.
