First I cut into small peaces my candied fruits, u can add raisins if u like, but I usually stick to pineapple, papaya, cranberries....
-
2
Then I took some nuts, put them in the microwave for less then a minute, gave them some time to cool down, and crushed with an ancient hand grater.
-
3
U can actually fry the nuts, I just used the easier way.
-
4
Butter was taken out of the fridge some time ago to be soft, but I forgot to do that, so also melted it a bit in microwave, I had one solid peace, so just some 40 seconds.
-
5
It anyway started to melt a bit, but while I made things ready it hardened back.
-
6
I cut it into small peaces for it to continue melting.
-
7
P.s.
-
8
Butter shouldn't be liquid.
-
9
It's my little mistake.
-
10
Sift the flour, with baking powder, soda and vanilla sugar.
-
11
I do that to add fluffiness
-
12
Divide the whites and the yolks ....
-
13
In the mixer whip the whites with the half of the sugar.
-
14
Make it a good thick foam.
-
15
Put in the fridge.
-
16
Then whip the yolks with the rest of sugar into creamy white texture, add budget, continue mixing and then add sour cream.
-
17
The texture might seam a bit weird... Don't whip that for long, otherwise sour cream might loose water and it will become less creamy.
-
18
Pick a bigger dish and carefully, better with a plastic or wooden spoon mix the whites with the yolk mix.
-
19
Don't do it too fanatic, because bit by bit u should start adding flour, and carefully mix.
-
20
U will hear bubbles of foam ...
-
21
The dough should be quite sticky.
-
22
I added all flour in 4 goes.
-
23
Somewhere between flour I added the fruits and nuts.
-
24
Smear the form with butter and sprinkle with breaking.
-
25
Since the dough will be quite thick, u should put it carefully in the form.
-
26
And don't try to make it super even, it will anyway melt evenly.
-
27
And strange step, but even my granny did so, U should cut the dough...
-
28
Yes, u got me right, just cut that raw dough.
-
29
Oven must be heated up to 200C.
-
30
When heated, the cake goes in.
-
31
And just calm down.
-
32
I put it on lower place.
-
33
I watched it, so 25 min it was turned on lower heat, then some 10 on upper+lower, and some 5 minutes on upper for color.
-
34
I checked it with a wooden stick, if it's ready.
-
35
When out, don't keep it for long in form, so it doesn't absorb humidity.
