Eto i to je prošlo - ostvarila sam još jednom nešto što je nekada samo bila misao. Kuća u kojoj sam nekada živela sa porodicom večeras je napravila prvi korak i polako prerasta u poslovni prostor. Čovek sa kojim sam nedavno, sasvim neplanirano, veoma lepo pričala, to je elegantno formulisao ovako: i odjednom ste se našli u prevelikoj nekretnini. Veoma kul biznis način da se kaže životna istina da deca odlaze iz roditeljskih kuća...
... i bivši muževi isto... A ja previše volim svoje terase... i sebično želim da sačuvam adresu na koju će moći da mi doleću ponekad, ptići stasali za izletanje... i eto, večeras smo Saška i ja organizovale prvi Poredak ljubavi u mom potkrovlju. I bilo je odlično, samo da znate.
Eto, i ove je jeseni počela neka nova životna školska godina, kako i spada na putu jednog večnog štrebera.
Elem, da se vratimo kuglofu, koji sam tom prilikom pravila, i ovog puta po novom kuvaru u kome su samo kuglofi: Cake Simple. Još jedan od neobičnih kuglofa, koji podseća na bosanske kolače, jer se obilno zaliva šerbetom i zapravo ne liči na kuglof po ukusu, iako se pravi u modli za kuglof, pa mu je to svakako naziv.
Kolač je malčice masniji i šljampaviji od običnog kuglofa. Suptilne je arome divnog čaja koji sam u njega stavila i pojeden je tako brzo da sam jedva stigla da ga slikam, a da nije stigao valjano da pozira.
Potrebni sastojci:
Rernu zagrejati na 180°C. Podmazati i pobrašnjaviti kalup zapremine oko 3 l.
Pomešati prosejano brašno, fino samlevene listiće čaja, sodu bikarbonu, prašak za pecivo i so.
Puter dobro ulupati sa šećerom dok smesa ne postane penasta. Dodati jaja, jedno po jedno. dobro ih ulupati i s vremena na vreme sastrugati smesu sa ivice posude, da bi se sve što bolje sjedinilo.
Dodati vanilu.
Sad umutiti sledećim redom: trećinu brašna, pola crème fraîche, drugu trećinu brašna, drugu polovinu crème fraîche i ostatak brašna.
Smesu uliti u kalup, malo poravnati odgore i peći oko sat vremena. Proveriti dugačkom čačkalicom je li se kolač dobro ispekao.
Kad se kolač izvadi iz rerne, ostaviti ga u kalupu petnaestak minuta, pa ga prevrnuti na rešetku. Četkicom naneti sirup na još vruć kolač, pa ga ostaviti da se hladi bar pola sata. Servirati ga mlakog ili na sobnoj temperaturi.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/gas 4). Brush the inside of a 12-cup (2.8 l) Bundt pan thoroughly with the melted butter and dust it lightly with flour. (Use a pastry brush to help distribute the flour and tap out any excess.)
Whisk the flour, ground tea leaves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and
scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three increments) alternately with the crème fraîche (in two increments), beginning and ending with the flour and beating until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for about 1 hour, until a cake tester inserted near the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about
15 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack. Brush the warm cake with the syrup and let cool for at least another 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. The cake will keep in an airtight
container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
EARL GREY SYRUP
Put the tea leaves in a tea diffuser, tea ball, or a reusable tea bag and put the receptacle in a small saucepan. Pour the boiling water over the tea and let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea leaves, add the sugar, and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has come to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the syrup has
thickened and reduced to about a ¾ cup (180 ml). (Leftover syrup can be used to sweeten the tea you drink with the cake!)
- 1½ šolje (345 g) putera sobne temperature, plus još malo za podmazivanje kalupa
- 3¼ šolje (390 g) brašna, plus koliko da se pobrašnjevi kalup
- 4 kašikice fino samlevenog čaja - ja sam stavila divan Pustinjski čaj koji kupujem u Kući čaja, otkako se otvorila pre petnaest godina u ulici koja se nekada zvala Save Kovačevića (da... takva je ulica zapravo postojala na Vračaru - sad se opet zove po drugoj religiji). Inače se po originalnom receptu kolač pravi sa Earl Grey čajem.
- 1½ kašikica praška za pecivo
- ¼ kašikica sode bikarbone
- ½ kašikica soli
- 1½ šolja (300 g) šećera
- 6 jaja
- 1½ kašikica ekstrakta vanile
- 1½ šolje (360ml) crème fraîche
- pustinjski sirup
pustinjski sirup
- 2 kašikice Pustinjskog čaja
- 1 šolja (240 ml) vrele vode
- 2/3 šolje (140 g) šećera
Napraviti crème fraîche najmanje osam sati pre nego što se počne priprema kolača. U jednu i po šolju slatke pavlake staviti 3 kašike punomasnog jogurta. Blago ulupati da se mase sjedine i ostaviti na sobnoj temperaturi osam sati, ili duže - dok se ne zgusne.
Pomešati prosejano brašno, fino samlevene listiće čaja, sodu bikarbonu, prašak za pecivo i so.
Puter dobro ulupati sa šećerom dok smesa ne postane penasta. Dodati jaja, jedno po jedno. dobro ih ulupati i s vremena na vreme sastrugati smesu sa ivice posude, da bi se sve što bolje sjedinilo.
