Cake with prunes and walnuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a cake with prunes and walnuts? First of all, you need to prepare a sponge cake. Prepare all the ingredients for it. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs with sugar and beat them at maximum power until fluffy and airy.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a separate bowl, bring the milk and butter to a boil and let the butter melt completely. Alternately add flour, soda and milk mixture to the egg mixture. Gently mix everything with a whisk, by hand, so that the dough remains fluffy.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then stir in the cocoa. Line the bottom of a springform baking dish with baking paper and place a ring on it. Pour the dough into a mold (20 cm) and place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 45-60 minutes. Be guided by your oven. Cool the finished biscuit, then wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight to rest.

5. STEP 5

   

   Before assembling the cake, prepare everything you need for the filling. Butter and cream cheese should be at room temperature. It is advisable to cook boiled condensed milk yourself - it tastes better. Cook the closed jar in boiling water for 2 hours, then cool completely.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour boiling water over the prunes for about 5 minutes. Then drain the water and rinse the prunes. And fill it with aromatic alcohol again. Let soak for 20-30 minutes. This step is optional. Chop the nuts a little with a knife and fry in a dry frying pan until a characteristic aroma appears. Place the roasted nuts on a plate to prevent them from burning in the still hot frying pan.

7. STEP 7

   

   To prepare the cream, mix soft butter with boiled condensed milk. Then stir the cream cheese into the cream. You can use a mixer for this. It will seem that the cream is runny. This is fine. Everything in the assembled cake will harden well. Set aside 1/3 of the cream for coating the cake.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove prunes from alcohol, dry and finely chop. Stir chopped nuts and prunes into the remaining 2/3 of the cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the resting sponge cake into 4 layers. Set aside one layer for topping the cake. Soak the cakes with syrup. To do this, heat water with sugar and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Then cool the syrup.

10. STEP 10

    

    It is convenient to assemble the cake in a ring. Place the first cake layer and a layer of filling on the bottom. Then the second cake layer and another layer of filling.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the third cake layer on top and lightly brush it with plain cream. Place the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours to set.

12. STEP 12

    

    Remove the frozen cake from the ring using a sharp knife. Lubricate it on the sides with the reserved cream. Place the rest on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    Crush the reserved cake and sprinkle on the sides of the cake.

For the first of September, I prepared a treat for the children using this recipe for a cake with prunes and walnuts. The sponge cake turned out gorgeous: dense, but at the same time porous and soft. I baked the sponge cake for 40 minutes in a mold with a diameter of 19 cm. The cream turned out very tasty and tender. It is moderately sweet and very pleasant to the taste. I didn’t have prunes, so I replaced them with dried apricots. I didn’t use alcohol for obvious reasons. The cake turned out very tasty, well soaked. The cream goes well with the biscuit. I decorated the cake with raspberries. Thank you very much for the recipe! The children were happy.
