Baking

All right folks, here's the recipe:

Engadine nut cake

Ingredients:

dough

350 g flour 150 g butter (I use solid margarine) 1 egg 1 pinch of salt 125 g sugar

Filling

250 g sugar 2 tabelspoons of honey (I recently used agave syrup... works too.) 200 ml cream 300 g coarsely chopped walnuts (optional: 2 cl of cherry spirit … I usually leave it out)

Preparation:

Place the ingredients for the dough in a bowl and knead (by hand or with a food processor) until you have a smooth dough. Spread approx. 1/3 of the dough over the base of a 26 cm springform pan and roll out evenly with a rolling pin. Use another third of the dough to form a narrow roll, then pull this up around the edge of the springform pan (this works best if you form smaller rolls and then press them flat with your fingers around the edge of the pan). Now for the filling: Put the sugar and honey in a pan and melt over medium heat. When the honey softens and you knead more and more sugar into the honey with a wooden spoon, there will be no lumps. When everything is melted and slightly brown (caution: burns easily), add the cream sip by sip and stir in immediately (caution: this creates a lot of steam, so be careful not to burn your hand while stirring). When all the cream has been stirred in, add the chopped walnuts. Spread the finished filling evenly on the prepared base. Roll out the remaining dough thinly on a work surface with a rolling pin and then cut into strips. (Sprinkle flour on the work surface beforehand, otherwise the dough will stick and you won't be able to remove it). Place the strips in a lattice pattern on top of the cake. (There is usually some dough left over after this, I usually shape it into a roll and press it onto the edge to prevent the filling from boiling over but one can also make some ornaments for decoration of the cake from it). Bake the whole thing at top/bottom heat at 200° C for 30 min. (I guess hot air would be 180°C, but I haven't tried it yet.)

Good luck! :D
