Cake with fruit - recipe

We suggest you try a lean cake with canned fruit and cream-mousse from manga. For its preparation we will take the following products.

For the test

• 
  water (ordinary or mineral) - 250 ml


• 
  flour - 225 g


• 
  sugar - 175 g


• 
  refined vegetable oil - 6 tbsp. l.


• 
  baking powder - 4 tsp.

For cream

• 
  fruit juice (any) - 2 tbsp.


• 
  semolina - 2 tbsp. l.


• 
  sugar at will

For filling

• 
  any canned fruit in syrup

Sift flour with a baking powder into a deep bowl,we add sugar. We pour in vegetable oil and water and mix well. You should get a dough of a slightly thicker consistency than sour cream. If it's too thick, you can add more water.

Lubricate with vegetable oil two forms for baking, lay out the dough in equal parts and bake cakes for about half an hour at a temperature of 180 degrees. We get out of the oven and let it cool.

In the meantime, we are preparing a lean cream for cake. Juice is poured into a saucepan, if desired, add sugar (the amount depends on the sweetness of the juice and your personal preferences). We put semolina. We put the saucepan on the fire, bring it to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from the fire, let it cool down and mash the mousse in the cold.

We impregnate with syrup from under the cannedfruit first cake. Evenly distribute on it half of the mousse and spread the fruit. We impregnate the second cake with syrup, put it on the first, lubricate with mousse and decorate with fruits. The cake is ready!

Sift flour. Mix all the dry ingredients in the bowl: wheat and rye flour, cocoa, sugar, salt, soda. Constantly stirring, gradually add water, honey, vegetable oil and jam. We knead the dough to homogeneity.

Apples are cleaned and cut into small cubes. Nuts are carefully crushed. Add apples and nuts to the dough and mix thoroughly. The mold with a diameter of 21 cm is lubricated with vegetable oil and baked for 45 minutes in an oven heated to 180 degrees. Let the ready cake cool down and cut it into 2 pieces horizontally.
