...Semana Santa begins...no dairy, no meat, or anything that comes from a live animal...a chance to clean ourselves from sins (!!!!)
...there's a cake for this period that I tried yesterday...it's an apple cake with tahini...
...what I did was:
...I poured 1 cup tahini...
...1 cup sugar...
....mixed them well...
...I mixed 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier...
...and 1 teaspoon of baking soda...stirred until the baking soda was disolved...
...and then added to the mixture...
...I shifted 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour...
...added 2 teaspoons cinnamon....mine comes from Constantinople...
...I chopped one cup of walnuts and added them to the flour mix...
...I peeled and diced 2 apples...
...and added them to the tahini and sugar mixture...
...I squeezed 3 oranges to make 1 cup...
...then I added the flour mixture and orange juice, a little at a time, alternatively...
...to the tahini mixture...
...I also added a handful of raisins...
...instead of pouring the mixture into a 26 cm (10 1/2 inch) pan, I used a muffin tin... (if you use a pan don't forget to grease and flour it)
...I had preheated my oven at 17oC (350F) and baked them for 20 min. (If it's a whole cake you bake it for 45 min.)
...when I took them out of the oven I dusted them with icing sugar...
....make yourself a nice cup of coffee (without milk!)......and just love them and enjoy them!
...I don't know when I will write next....just in case...have a wonderful time next to your loved ones...Happy Easter...bunnies....eggs...lady bugs...and candles!
