Recipe: Frisian Christmas cake
Plan on preparing this recipe for about 45 minutes.
Ingredients for a cake:
- 400g flour
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 4 packs of vanilla sugar
- 150g ricotta
- 275g butter
- 100g sugar
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 500 ml cream
- 2 packs of cream stiffener
- 450 g rosehip puree
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
- Flour for the work surface
- Grease for the molds
Preparation:
- Make a shortcrust pastry from 250 g flour, baking powder, 2 packets of vanilla sugar, ricotta and 175 g butter and knead it well. Divide the dough into four pieces and roll out. Place one piece of dough on the greased bottom of a springform pan (28 cm diameter) and prick the dough several times.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan oven 180°C). For the streusel, mix 150 g flour with 75 g sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, cinnamon and 100 g butter in flakes and work them into streusel with your hands. Place 1/4 of the streusel mixture on each dough base.
- Bake the bases in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- After baking, remove each layer from the edge of the springform pan and divide one layer into 12 to 14 cake pieces. Allow the floors to cool.
- For the filling, beat the cream with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar and the cream stiffener until stiff. Pour the whole thing into a piping bag fitted with a serrated tip.
- Spread three baked cake layers with 1/3 of the rosehip puree each and pipe 1/3 of the cream on each. Then assemble the bases into a cake. Put the base divided into pieces last.
