Prajitura Doamna de China

Doamna de China (sau 101 Dalmatieni sau Prajitura chinezeasca) e dulcele care imi aminteste cel mai mult de copilarie si prima prajitura pe care mi-a facut-o mama de ziua mea pentru scoala, in clasa I. E simpla, cu putine ingrediente, dar are un succes urias de fiecare data pentru ca e foarte gustoasa. Si toata lumea mereu imi cere reteta :) Asadar, voila:

Ingrediente (1 tava mare):

250g unt
250g zahar
250g nuci macinate
100g faina
6 albusuri

Bezea:

6 galbenusuri
150g zahar
Topping: cacao, zahar, apa fierbinte

Frecam untul cu zaharul bine de tot, apoi adaugam albusurile batute spuma, nucile si faina. Omogenizam bine totul cu o spatula. Turnam compozitia intr-o tava intinsa (aceea standard de la cuptor, de aprox 40*28cm) unsa cu unt si tapetata cu hartie de copt.

Later edit: am facut prajitura si intr-o tava mai mica, de 20*33cm*, a iesit mai grosuta, direste :) Si bezeaua s-a cam crapat, dupa cum vedeti in pozele de la finalul retetei, asa ca votez pentru tava mare :)

Iese un strat subtire, insa asa trebuie sa fie, prajitura e foarte satioasa de la atata nuca :) O coacem la foc potrivit (170 C) cam 20-22 de minute (25-30min pentru tava mai mica de 20*33cm)

Cand prajitura este aproape gata, putin rumena pe margini (si trece testul scobitorii, o scobitoare iese curata din centru), o scoatem din cuptor si turnam deasupra glazura facuta din galbenusurile mixate bine cu zahar.

Mai introducem prajitura in cuptor 10 minute si inca 10 dupa ce oprim focul (20 min pt tava mai mica :). La final o stropim cu putin sirop facut din 2 lg cacao, 1 lg apa fierbinte si 2 lg zahar. Sau puteti turna ciocolata topita deasupra sau rade ciocolata direct peste prajitura :)

In imaginile pas cu pas eu am stropit-o cu sirop inainte sa bag si bezeaua la cuptor. Nu e gresit, dar iese mai frumoasa stropita la final, ca in poza principal de sus :) O taiem doar dupa ce s-a racit. Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION

Lady of China (or 101 Dalmatians) is the dessert that reminds the most of childhood and the first treat my mother made for my birthday to bring to school, in the 1st grade :)
It’s simple, it doesn’t have many ingredients, but it’s a huge hit every time because it’s very tasty. And everyone asks for the recipe :) So there you have it:

Ingredients

250 g butter
250 g sugar
250 g ground nuts
100 g flour
6 egg whites

Frosting

6 egg yolks
150 g sugar
cocoa
hot water

Whisk the butter with sugar, then add the egg whites beaten until foamy, nuts and flour. Pour the mixture in a tray (40*33cm) lined with baking paper and bake at medium heat (170 C) for about 20-22 min.

When the cake is almost done (a skewer inserted inside comes out clean), take it out of the oven and pour the frosting made from the egg yolks mixed with sugar. Put it in the oven for 10 more minutes and 10 more after you stop the gas.

Drizzle the chocolate sauce (just cocoa, sugar and hot water) over it. Or you can grate some dark chocolate over it. Cut it after it has cooled. Enjoy!
