Prajitura cu malai si portocale / Orange polenta cake

O prajitura senzationala umeda si insiropata cu care veti avea mare succes si datorita careia veti realiza ca malaiul nu e bun doar la mamaliga :)) Prajitura cu malai si portocale. Siropul aromat face toti banii, nu il omiteti! :)

Ingrediente (8 portii):

• 200g unt
• 200g Green Sugar
• coaja de la 2 portocale mari
• 100g malai
• 200g migdale macinate
• 3 oua
• 1 lgt praf de copt
• Sirop: sucul de la 2 portocale
• 1 steluta de anason, 1 baton de scortisoara, 2 cuisoare, 1 pastaie de cardamon
• 2 lgt Green Sugar
• 50g fistic crud (pt topping)

Mixam untul la temperatura camerei cu pudra de Green Sugar pana obtinem un amestec pufos, apoi adaugam ouale, unul cate unul, mixand bine dupa fiecare. Separat combinam malaiul, migdalele macinate, coaja de portocala, praful de copt.

Incorporam cu o spatula amestecul uscat in cel umed, punem compozitia rezultata intr-o tava rotunda (diametru 22 cm) cu fund detasabil unsa cu unt si tapetata cu hartie de copt. Coacem prajitura la 180C aprox 40-50 de min sau pana trece testul scobitorii.

Pentru sirop punem pe foc intr-o craticioara sucul de portocala proaspat stors, 2 lingurite de Green Sugar si condimentele. Aducem amestecul aproape de punctul de fierbere, apoi il lasam 10 minute la infuzat. Dupa ce prajitura s-a racit o intepam cu o scobitoare, turnam siropul strecurat peste ea si o decoram cu fistic crud tocat :) Enjoy!
