Przepis oparty na tej recepturze i zmodyfikowany.

Doroto, dziękuję!

 poza tym... babka nie jest ekstremalnie jeżykowa a czekoladowa o bardzo delikatnym posmaku ciastek

Aby nadać mu bardziej "Jeżykowy'' charakter na polewie czekoladowej można zrobić kilka zygzaków z kajmaku, ten lekko posypać odrobiną rice krispies, rodzynek, posiekanych orzechow i jeszcze raz udekorować czekoladową polewą. W takiej wersji ciasto jest jeszcze pyszniejsze i mega choco!:)

no i tutaj z łatwością przygotujecie ciasto bez miksera:)

miłego dnia Wam wszystkim i

dzięki że zaglądacie

Recipe for the rustic chocolate cake ''Babka''

The idea in here was to use some biscuits of Polish origin which are known under the name JEŻYKI.

It seems to me that most of you will find it unavailable therefore you can replace the biscuits with the same quantity of chocolate.

Ingredients:

120 g of dark chocolate

2 tablespoons of sultanas

1 tablespoon of pistachios

1 tablespoon of flaked almonds

150 g of butter

150 g of granulated sugar

2, 5 tablespoon of cacao

200 g of all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

3 tablespoons of milk

3 eggs

And  for the ganache:

100 g of dark chocolate

some caramel

teaspoon of sultanas, pistachios, rice krispies (each)

3 teaspoons of double cream

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (Celsius).

Line a loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.

Chop the chocolate. And mix it with the pistachios, sultanas, almonds and milk. Put aside.

Then cream the butter and tip in a little tiny bit of sugar at a time. Once the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, you are there.

Add to it one egg at a time and continue on creaming.

Sift the flour with baking powder and cacao.

Combine the dry ingredients with the eggy mixture and milk-sultanas-almond-chocolate mix. Do not overmix it. Try to do that as slowly and gently as possible.

Place the batter in a tin.

Bake it around 40 minutes. So when you insert a skewer into it you want it to come out clean.

Let the cake cool a little bit in the tin. Then prepare the ganache. Just melt the chocolate with double cream. When it has completely dissolved let it cool slightly. After which pour half of the ganache all over the cake. And wait a few minutes. Sprinkle the  cake with some chopped pistachios, sultanas and rice krispies. Sprinkle around 1, 5 tablespoon of caramel over it and finish with the rest of the ganache. All done. Enjoy!
