Iată şi tortul pe care l-am pregătit pentru
Liberta, sau mai exact în cinstea ei şi ai celor 13 anişori împliniţi, pentru că ea se va delecta probabil cu
morcovi şi mere. Ca să rămân însă cumva aproape de meniul ei, am făcut un tort
decorat cu trufe de
morcovi (brigadeiros de cenoura). Blatul este de fapt o prăjitură portugheză,
pe care am făcut-o mai demult şi care mi-a plăcut mult mult (de data asta am renunţat
la vinul de Porto).
TORT LIBERTA
Blat:
- 6 ouă
- 500 g zahăr
- 460 g făină
- 3 ½ linguriţe drojdie uscată
- sucul şi coaja de la 2 portocale
Sirop:
- sucul de la 1 portocală
- 3 linguri zahăr
- nucă de cocos
- 50-100 g ciocolată albă topită
- 13 trufe de morcovi
Blat:
Turnăm aluatul într-o formă rotundă de circa
25 cm (unsă cu unt şi tapetată cu făină sau acoperită cu hârtie de copt).
Coacem blatul în cuptorul preîncălzit, la foc
potrivit, pentru circa minute 45 de minute – pentru mai multă siguranţă, îl verificăm cu o
scobitoare.
Răsturnăm blatul pe un grătar şi îl lăsăm să
se răcească.
Facem un sirop din sucul de la o portocală şi
zahăr, pe care îl încălzim puţin, până se topeşte zahărul.
Când blatul s-a răcit, îl îndreptăm dacă este
nevoie, îl punem pe un platou şi îl însiropăm cu siropul de portocală.
Este gata pentru a fi servit.
This is the cake I made for Liberta, or better said to celebrate her and her 13 years, as she will probably enjoy her carrots and apples. But to stay in this culinary area, I made a cake decorated with carrot truffles (brigadeiros de cenoura). The base cake is actually a Portuguese recipe, which I made for the first time a few months ago and enjoyed very much (this time however I skipped the Porto wine).
LIBERTA'S CAKE
Cake:
- 6 eggs
- 500 g sugar
- 460 g flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons dry yeast
- juice and zest of 2 oranges
Syrup:
- juice of 1 orange
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- grated coconut
- 50-100 g melted white chocolate
- 13 carrot truffles
For the cake, we mix the flour with the dry yeast and set aside.
We beat the yolks with sugar, then incorporate the flour mixture, orange juice and zest.
In another bowl we beat the whites until smooth, then gently incorporate them in the batter.
We pour the batter in a 25 cm round cake pan (greased with butter and powdered with flour or covered with parchment paper).
We bake the cake in the preheated oven, to medium heat, for about 45 minutes – anyway, it's always better to check the cake with a toothpick.

We transfer the cake on a wire rack and let it cool.
We make a syrup form the orange juice and sugar and heat it until the sugar has melted.
When the cake has cooled, we correct its shape if needed, put it on a plate and pour on top the orange syrup.
We melt the white chocolate on bain-marie and let it cool a bit and thicken.
We spread on top of the cake some grated coconut and glue the carrot truffles with melted chocolate, then decorate with the remaining chocolate.
It's ready to be served.
