African Daisy Cake

Name: African Daisy Cake
Total time: 2 h
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 5 Chicken eggs; 1 cup Sugar; 1 cup Kefir; 1.5 cup Wheat flour; 1 teaspoon Baking soda; 100 g Cocoa; 200 g Sugar; 1 L Sour cream; 0.5 cup Milk; 2 Bananas; 2 Kiwi; 2 Peaches; 50 g Poppy food; 40 g Gelatin

A cake with an unusual design and name will surprise and delight you with its taste! The cake got its name due to its design and shape, as well as its rich chocolate color. The cake looks very impressive on the table, it is large and tall, enough for a large company. It will undoubtedly make a splash among the guests, and children will be especially happy about it. I was convinced of this myself by preparing it for my niece’s birthday! The cake is very tasty, not cloyingly sweet, but on the contrary, moderately sweet with pleasant sourness from the fruit and slight bitterness from the cocoa that is part of this dish. It is preferable to use exotic fruits, namely: bananas, kiwi, orange. After all, our Chamomile is African! Although it is possible to replace fruits according to your taste or season with others. You can also use berries. Choose for yourself what you like best. Let me emphasize that African Chamomile is a wonderful cake and worthy of attention! And it’s not that difficult to prepare, although when preparing it you need to do a lot of different steps. I definitely recommend that you bake it and wish you success in doing so!

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

STEP 1
Products for making dough. Flour and cocoa powder must be sifted in advance.
STEP 2
For the dough, do not beat the eggs, but simply mix them thoroughly with sugar.
STEP 3
Add soda to the egg-sugar mixture. Do not extinguish it with vinegar, because... In this recipe there is kefir in the dough, it will extinguish it!
STEP 4
Now add flour and mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps.
STEP 5
Add cocoa.
STEP 6
Mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
STEP 7
Add kefir to the dough and mix.
STEP 8
Now add a little more flour. Mix thoroughly. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream. Divide the dough into two parts, pour into 2 molds and bake 2 cakes until ready. I baked for 30 minutes. each at a temperature of 200 degrees. Then they need to be cooled. Cut each cooled cake in half.
STEP 9
We leave two halves of the cakes (choose the prettier ones). One half of the cake will serve as the bottom of the cake, and the one that is more convex will be the top of our Chamomile.
STEP 10
We cut (or break) the other two halves of the cakes into small pieces.
STEP 11
Products for cream. It is better to use thicker sour cream for this cake (I use peasant sour cream).
STEP 12
Beat sour cream with sugar.
STEP 13
We dilute the gelatin with boiled water - dissolve it not according to the instructions, but in 0.5 glass of warm milk or water, stir thoroughly so that there are no undissolved particles. You should get a strong jelly, so take only high-quality, proven gelatin that you are confident in. As a last resort, if you are not sure of it, take 1.5 times more of it to be on the safe side.
STEP 14
We cut 2 bananas, an orange (I took peaches when they were in season) and a kiwi into medium pieces. I repeat that if you wish, you can take any other fruit: pineapple, apricot, strawberry, etc.
STEP 15
This is what the mixture of milk and gelatin looks like after the gelatin has completely dissolved.
STEP 16
First of all, add the milk-gelatin mixture to the sour cream. Then mix chopped fruits, sour cream, poppy seeds.
STEP 17
Then add pieces of chopped dough to the cream and mix everything well until smooth.
STEP 18
In the top cake, we cut out the core of the flower with something round, for example, an inverted glass, and with a glass of smaller diameter we cut off the edge of the core so that there is a distance between it and the chamomile petals. Now we divide the rest of the cake into petals of approximately the same size. Grind one petal and add it to the cream. If you leave all the petals, then there will be no gaps between them and the flower will not be visible so well on the surface of the cake.
STEP 19
In the mold in which the cakes were baked, put one half of the cake (this circle will be the bottom of the cake), and on top put the fruit-sour cream mixture with pieces of the cake (the middle of the cake). The photo shows that this mass already holds its shape well, does not spread, which means the cream will harden well!
STEP 20
Cover the top of the cake with a cake cut into a chamomile shape. Place the chocolate cake in the refrigerator for an hour, preferably longer, so that the cream hardens well.
STEP 21
Chamomile petals can be greased with chocolate mastic, glaze (which is what I did) or filled with light fruit jelly, but even without this, the African chamomile cake can be considered ready to eat. Enjoy your tea!

Very interesting recipe! But please tell me, will the bottom cake be a bit dry? Maybe it needs to be soaked in a little syrup?
