Maximum 10 minutes of work and not even an egg! Fluffy cake without eggs, Day and Night!
The recipe for fluffy Day and Night cake in 10 minutes. It is extremely soft and fluffy, can be made for fasting or sweet, and does not contain a single egg!
Ingredients 9 pieces.
• 500 ml of full-fat milk at room temperature, or mineral water if you want a fasting cake
• 150 g of melted butter or 150 ml of oil for the fasting version
• 300 g of sugar
• A teaspoon of salt
• A tablespoon of orange zest
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
• A vial of rum essence
• A tip of a teaspoon of turmeric, for a beautiful yellow color
• 5-6 g of baking powder
• 400 g of 000 flour
• 60 g of semolina
• 10 g of cocoa / and 10 g of cocoa
• And optionally 80 g of finely chopped walnuts, for putting on top.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. For the electric oven, choose a program that gives heat up and down, without ventilation.
Prepare a baking tray with high walls (21X25 cm) and line it with baking paper.
Take a larger bowl and add the milk or mineral water if you are preparing the fasting version, the melted butter or oil, sugar, salt, flavors: orange zest and vanilla essence, as well as a tip of a teaspoon of turmeric. This will give the cake a beautiful yellowish color and no one will know that it does not contain eggs.
Homogenize the ingredients with a whisk. Then add the flour, all at once and incorporate it. Then mix the baking powder and 60 g of fine semolina. This is the secret to a softer and fluffier cake. Be careful those who live in other countries, do not use durum wheat semolina because it can be felt in the cakes.
Pour a little more than half of the dough into the previously prepared tray.
In the remaining dough in the bowl, incorporate the sifted cocoa powder and rum essence. Mix.
Pour the dough with cocoa in a thin stream over the entire surface of the cake. Optionally, we can cover the surface of the dough with chopped walnuts.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This took me 45 minutes. Of course, depending on your oven and the shape you use, it may take longer or shorter.
Let the cake cool, then you can cut it into cubes.
Enjoy!
