Vanilla Breadcrumb Potato Cake
Ingredients:
300 g vanilla breadcrumbs
150 g condensed milk
90 g melted butter
50 g walnuts
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
40 ml milk
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Grinding the breadcrumbs:
Take the vanilla breadcrumbs and grind them into fine crumbs. Use a food processor or a heavy-duty bag and a rolling pin to make this process easier.
2. Preparing the base:
Pour the crushed breadcrumbs into a suitable bowl.
Finely chop the walnuts and add them to the crumbs.
Pour in the cocoa powder and mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
3. Adding the liquid ingredients:
Pour the milk, condensed milk, and melted butter into the dry mixture.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
4. Shaping the cakes:
Take a small amount of the mixture and form cakes into your desired shape. These can be traditional oval-shaped "potato cakes" or medium-sized balls, like mine today.
5. Cooling:
Place the formed cakes in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set and achieve the desired consistency.
6. Finishing decoration:
Before serving, roll or dust the cakes in cocoa powder or powdered sugar for extra sweetness and a beautiful appearance.
