Coconut Cake


My dad loves coconut cake, so I decided to make him a big and impressive one.
I used for the first time a fresh coconut. I grated the coconut in long and large flakes because I liked the effect they made and because they're crunchy to taste.





For the cake:

200 ml vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup cocoa powder
120 g greek yogurt
50 g grated, essiccated coconut 

For the filling:

150 ml cream
150 g dark chocolate

For the frosting:

350 ml cream
2 Tbsp icing sugar
1 fresh coconut, grated 



Prepare the filling: this is a simple ganache, so chop the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl. Heat the cream at almost boiling point and pour it onto the chocolate. Let melt for a minute, then mix well to obtain a shiny mix. Let cool. Once completely cooled, beat the mixture with an electric mixer until light, fluffy and weel-whipped.

Prepare the frosting: whip the cream and icing sugar antil stiff. Set aside in the fridge.

Prepare the cake: Whisk together oil and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time using an electric mixer, to obtain a fluffy mix.
Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder and add them to the liquid ingredients. Finally add the greek yogurt and the coconut.
Put the mixture in a 20 cm cake tin, lined with packment paper.
Bake at 180° for 40 minutes, or until a knife insert in the middle of the cake will come out clean.
Let cool completely

Cut the cake in half to get 2 layers. Spread the filling on the bottom layer and cover with the second one, pressing gently.
Cover the top and sides with whipped cream. Once evenly covered arrange the fresh coconut flakes all over the surface. 




Ingredienti: 200 ml olio di semi; 3/4 tazza zucchero; 6 uova grandi; 1 1/2 tazza farina; 1/2 cucchiaino lievito; 3/4 tazza cacao amaro; 120 g yogurt greco; 50 g cocco essiccato
Per la farcitura: 150 ml panna; 150 g cioccolato fondente
Per la copertura: 350 ml panna; 2 cucchiai di zucchero a velo; la polpa di 1 cocco fresco, grattugiata.


Preparazione della farcia: è una semplice ganache, quindi ridurre il cioccolato in piccoli pezzi e metterlo in una piccola scodella, scaldare la panna in un pentolino fino a quasi ebollizione, spengere il fuoco e versare la panna calda sul cioccolato. Lasciare sciogliere qualche minuto e poi mescolare bene in modo da ottenere un composto lucido ed uniforme, senza grumi. Lasciare raffreddare completamente e montare con delle fruste elettriche, finchè leggero e raddoppiato in volume.

Preparazione della copertura: mescolare panna e zucchero e montarli bene con le fruste elettriche. Conservare in frigo. Intanto grattugiare con a grattugia a fori larghi la polpa di cocco. 
Preparazione della torta: Mescolare olio e zucchero. Unire le uova, uno alla volta, aiutandosi con le fruste da cucina, che rendono il composto più leggero e montato. Setacciare bene farina, cacao e lievito e unirli al composto liquido di olio e uova. Mescolare bene e unire infine lo yogurt e il cocco essiccato.
Mettere il composto in una tortiera di 20 cm di diametro, ricoperta di carta forno e cuocere a 180° per 40 minuti, o finchè un coltello inserito nel centro ne uscirà pulito. Far raffreddare completamente.

Pan di Ramerino

This is a traditional tuscan sweet bread from Prato. It means "rosemary bread".
It is slightly sweet with a mild rosemary flavour and raisins.
I added a touch of honey to enrich its taste.
I did not follow the traditional recipe to the letter, I added a bit of butter in the dough, which gives a moister texture and the bread lasts longer.





25 g fresh yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup warm milk
5 cups flour
50 g butter, melted
1 egg
50 g raisins
3 Tbsp honey

4 Tbsp olive oil
a sprig of rosemary

1 egg white


Melt the yeast in the warm milk, with a Tbsp sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes. The mixture will start to foam, this means that thr yeast is active.
In a large bowl put flour, remaining sugar, egg, butter, raisins and honey. Put the liquid mixture into the dried one and mix. Start to kneat the dough on a lightly floured surface for at least 5 minutes, or until it becomes elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a non-stick pan heat the olive oil and rosemary to low heat. Set aside and let cool.
Once cooled add the olive oil and rosemary (chopped) to the dough. Kneat until all is well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 balls, put them on a baking tray lined with packment paper and let rise again for 30 minutes, cover with a towel, always in a warm place.
Brush the surface of the breads with some egg white.
Bake at 200° for 15 minutes or until golden on the bottom.

False Panna Cotta

This is my light version of panna cotta. I used to do this a lot  as a daily dessert. 
If you reach the right point of sweetness to cancel the yogurt acidity, it really taste like cream.
Vanilla bean scraped and heaten up into the milk will give a wonderful flavour, as well as a lovely dotty look. Sometimes I use Alpro soy milk to replace the bean and still have a vanilla-like taste.






170 g greek yogurt
150 ml milk
sugar to taste
3 gelatine leaves (6 g circa)

raspberries and rose water to garnish



Bring the milk to a slow boil, when bubbles appear turn off the heat and add the jelly. Let cool a bit.
Wisk the greek yogurt until smooth, add sugar to taste. Add the milk and wisk well. Put in the fridge until firm.

Crêpe Cake


One of the more dramatic cake ever. It take quite a long time to do it, but it will worth every second.

1/2 cup caster sugar
1 egg
2 cups milk

Slowly pour the milk and melted chocolate over the egg mix, whisking continuosly. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook for 5 minutes or until thick. Let cool completely

For the crêpes place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Place the egg, milk and butter in a separate bowl and whisk until combined. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Heat a 20 cm non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. 
Pour enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn the crêpe and cook for 1 minute until golden.

2 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
250g butter, softened
2 egg + 2 egg yolks (keep 1 egg white)
1,5 kg apples

Once cold, put the apples on the pastry base and top with the remaining 1/3 batter.
Brush the surface with the egg white and sprinkle with custer sugar.
Bake at 180° for 1 hour.

Rose Apple Cake


This is a very romantic cake. I love the idea of shaping thin apple slices into a rose pattern, it is very relaxing and simple. The final result is wonderful and very impressive. I added a few rose buds which I dried my own (use only organic, non-treated roses!).
Girls will really love this one :)




Ingredients:

200g butter, softened
100g sugar
4 eggs

Meanwhile prepare the cake: beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the yoghurt, vannilla and rose water. Stir to combine. Sift over the flour and baking powder mixing well and then add the chunky apples.
Put in a 24cm cake tin, level the surface and place the tiny slices of the remaining apples to create a rose motif (they should be around 7, but it's up to you).
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center turns out clean.
