Orange cake in Spanish

Orange pie in English

Do you know? We have a good friend that passion for the field. Usually we visited a couple of times a year to his flirtatious finquita and we always happy to. Welcomes us with a tremendous kindness, children spend a fun time running around the garden, surrounded by nature, which do not see such which by no means in the city, and always, always, always, makes us the trunk of the car with fruits or vegetables of season that is growing.

On the farm you have chickens, orange trees, lemon trees, avocados, strawberries, beans, chard, onions, rocket, etc. Colors, flavors, lectures giving us to identify what grows, and their super pool for the summer, ultimately, the good time spent with friends, makes us back... "reluctantly" whenever he calls us.

Recently my husband went through there, and Francisco, as generous as always, gave him a lot of fresh produce from the garden, all of course, ecological. He had brought also a box of oranges, so we decided to desayunár them to us in a whole week, but I wanted to make them even more. I grabbed one of my favorite recipes from the book "The Williams-Sonoma Baking Book"a lime tart. The book is baked, sweet, savoury pies and breads, recommended me it my good friend Cristina and has carved a niche among highlights of my kitchen.

As it had a good basket of oranges, I decided to adapt the recipe, so I made a little from here and there, changing some ingredients, adding and removing others, and left this delicious cake. Everyone who tested it was delighted with the invention and I left me with mine: take advantage of super Francisco oranges. To work, pantries!

Any sweet wine goes well with this cake. I recommend, for example. a Moscatel Iberia, of Malaga López brothers wineries. It is a soft Muscat which will highlight the flavor of oranges. The price of the bottle leaves at €4.05

Preparation:

1 turn on the oven to 165 °.

2 grind the cookies with cinnamon and sugar.

5. grate the skin from the oranges using a fine grater, carefully not scratch the white part of the skin. This white part, bitter by what would lose our delicious cake. I would recommend you that the do with care, or if you can afford you, you buy you a fine Microplane grater which is fantastic because only grab the skin and not white.

11. in order to present it, make a few mounds with whipped cream around the cake and one in the Center, or if you prefer to completely cover it with whipped cream. A sleeve can be used to decorate it, pastry. It can serve you the nozzle number 21 to do so and some cream roses can be made. In the case that you have done it, you can add a little grated chocolate and a sprig of fresh mint.

This cake is very soft and delicious. The texture is like of a flan and cookie dough has a light cinnamon flavor that goes very well with the Orange. In addition, you can also like me, ahead of an invividuales custard. As I sobro me a little of mixture, take advantage and did one. Simply engrasad individual flan molds. Fill with orange mixture and bake. When they are cold, desmoldad first passing a knife blunt edges, so unmolding is well and not break. Serve it with a little cream or, with a little grated chocolate.
