Recipe with pictures, explained step by step – Oriental cake (with coconut flakes, jam and cocoa) – Soft and aromatic homemade cake, delicious and delicate

Ingredients needed:

• 4 eggs
• 150 g of sugar
• 160 ml of oil
• 500 g of flour
• 16 g of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 8 g vanilla sugar
• 1 and a half tablespoons of cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon of oil
• 100 g jam or fruit jam
• 50 g of coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons of water

Method of preparation:

In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the castor sugar, the vanilla and 1 pinch of salt, until smooth. Add the oil, then add half of the sifted flour together with the baking powder. Add the remaining flour and knead an elastic, soft and non-sticky dough.

We divide the dough thus obtained into two equal parts. By kneading, we incorporate the cocoa powder into a piece of dough. To make this process easier, we also add 1 tablespoon of oil.

We divide the two types of dough into 2 equal parts and shape them into balls. Roll out each ball into a relatively round surface, 4-5 mm thick. We overlap them on the stove tray greased with oil, alternating them. After overlapping them, we stretch them a little with our hands.

Put the tray in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. After baking, let the dessert cool a little.

Put the jam in a saucepan, add the water and mix. If we use jam, we blend it beforehand with the blender. We bring the composition to the boiling point, after which we spread it on the baked tops, using the silicone brush. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top.

We let the dessert cool completely, after which we can portion it and serve.

Savor with gusto! Good appetite!
