Colombian cake original and
0:02
authentically Colombian recipe.
0:05
The ingredients are half a kilo of
0:07
sugar, half a kilo of butter, 550 g of
0:10
self-rising flour. If you use
0:12
all-purpose flour, for each cup of
0:14
flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
0:16
The flour is sifted with the following
0:18
powdered spices. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon,
0:21
1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and half a
0:23
teaspoon of cloves and 1 teaspoon of
0:25
instant coffee. 12 jumbo eggs. Chop in a
0:31
250 gram of raisins, 250 gram of plums,
0:36
250 gram of almonds, and 250 gram of
0:39
walnuts or pecans. Finally, 250 g of
0:43
hand chopped figs. Add grated orange and
0:48
1 tsp of vanilla flavor, and to darken
0:50
the cake mixture, add half a cup of
0:52
caramel color or burnt sugar. Before
0:56
starting the beating, turn on the oven
0:58
to preheat it to 350° Fahrenheit or 175°
1:05
On medium low speed, cream the butter
1:07
with the sugar for 5 to 7 minutes until
1:09
it is smooth, creamy, and almost white.
1:15
Add the eggs one by one on medium speed.
1:17
And when the beading looks cut,
1:22
start adding portions of flour until the
1:24
consistency of the mixture is recovered.
1:27
Continue adding the eggs alternately
1:38
Then add the vanilla and finally the
1:40
caramel color. Beat a little more just
1:43
until well incorporated.
1:47
Pour the batter over the chopped fruit
1:49
and mix by hand. The nuts are well
1:52
blended and scattered throughout the
1:53
cake when baked. They do not go to the
2:00
With a mixture of cooking oil and flour,
2:02
grease the cake pans using a brush.
2:10
To avoid overcooking and cracks in the
2:12
top of the cakes, cover the pans with
2:14
aluminum foil. Baking time is
2:16
approximately 60 minutes.
2:20
Immediately remove from the oven and let
2:22
cool 5 minutes on a wire rack before
2:24
unmolding. This way the base of the cake
2:26
does not get wet and unmold well. It
2:29
does not stick to the mold.
2:32
Once the cake is unmold, it is bathed
2:34
with sweet red wine, opport.
2:38
When the cake is still warm, it can be
2:39
moistened better because it absorbs the
2:41
wine completely. Here are some brands of
2:44
sweet wine you can use.
2:48
Without waiting for the cake to cool,
2:49
wrap it in plastic film and make sure to
2:54
It can be left like this for consumption
2:59
To keep it for a longer time, wrap it
3:01
well as if you were vacuum packing it.
3:03
This way, it will last for months in the
3:05
refrigerator and years in the freezer.
