Banana&Kiwi Cake

Eid Mubarek to all.. The holy ramadan is over yesterday , and today is the first day of Bayram(Eid). Whole month we fasted, stayed away from bad things:) now time to celebrate it. Everybody is out to visit relatives&friends, the children knocking our door for chocolate:) due to my dad s sickness we will spend the holiday at home, but we have too many guests so i made something to serve for them.

I am not a dessert&baklava person , so fruit cake is the best for me which is light and sweet:)



For the Cake;

4 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

4 heaping tablespoons flour

Half a cup of cold water

1 package vanilla

1 package of baking powder



for Creamer

3 cup milk

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon of starch

1 cup granulated sugar



1 package cream santis







for the cream , put ingredients in a pot and cook till it become like custard. Let it cool.



for the cake, mix eggs&sugar, after add other ingredients and mix more 4-5 min.

Cook it in the preheated oven 180 degree about 40 min.

for santis use the direction on the package.



after the cream got cold, add 3 spoons santis.

When the cake cooked and cooled , divide it(i could just divide 2) , all the lines cover with the cream and i put banana&kiwi on it, but you may add whatever you like, and cover it with other cake lines and repeat.

On the cake cover with santis and fruits again, keep it in the fridge at least 1 hour..

You know i am not so good with PC ,coding, web etc and sometimes i wanna do smth about my blog , but i cant do it because i am not familar about it, and for that i need to find an IT guy and ask and wait for respond and bla bla bla which make me nervous, so i thought i can get one of these course and make smth better.

you know i am not so fan of sweet,dessert.. if you bring me a cake and pasta and ask me to choose i would never choose cake:) so that is why i guess i am more conservative about cooking sweet,desserts, cakes etc.
But there is one sweet called "mamul" which has date inside. We dont have it here, i order from arab countries, i am not sure if it is available any other place.
And when i was checking last day other people is blog , i saw a recipe Date Bread , the blog adress http://treatntrick.blogspot.com/ ; i really liked it and thought to cook it. but i cooked it a bit different.. and the result was really good , the taste is amazing... and one thing, i didnt add any sugar in this cake:)) but date and cinnamon enough sweet. it is as i like no so so sweet.. but great taste..
I should confess the above the cake a bit burned but it s because of my stupid oven:) but result is really good, i reccomend you to try..

Lokma-A typical turkish dessert(yeast fritters in thick syrup)

Lokma means "morsel", it is a dessert that as we turkish love to cook, eat and share with people. Today is "regaip day" which is holy day for muslims, in this day prophet Mohammed was conceived at that night.. so this kinda holy days we especially cook this Lokma dessert and share with our relatives, neighboors , friends.. it is also so generous dessert, with small of dough you can have a lot of dessert to share with other people..


Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry yeast (1 teaspoon of yeast powder to melt the sugar and half a cup of warm water)
1 cup water
1 egg

For frying
1 cup oil

For syrup
4 cups water
5 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoon lemon juice

First of all, add sugar into warm water and yeast and swollen up to 10 minutes, we expect consistency.

Put your all ingredients into a deep bowl, add also ready yeast and mix it, you will have very soft,juicy dough. Leave the dough to rest 30 minutes, well let ferment.

On the other hand, to prepare the syrup, water and sugar together, put them into a saucepan and let sit over the fire. Medium heat, the sugar dissolves completely and let syrup solids until the boiler. Add the lemon juice and syrup, it became solid.

We have received a handful of soft dough, let common in our hands, our hands on the cob to the size of a piece. With the help of a teaspoon of dough and then get it and into the hot oil, let the pan from a close distance. Let's bite prepared in this way. Let's bite the frying pan, shaking constantly.

As possible in the form of round balls drop into the skillet and fry. If you are like me and not talented , it will be really hard to form it like a ball , because the dough is the juice format..i didnt care it too much the taste and also form wasnt so bad so relax:))

However, another very important issue, tablespoon of dough at a time before diving into the hot oil and then dipped in batter taken. Line so that the oil of your spoon, spoon the dough to come to your regularly will help. So before the spoon, dip into hot oil, then remove the soft dough into the dip, take part in a large nut size, and let the hot frying pan. Spoon dipped into hot skillet, heat oil again, and again plunge into the soft dough. So that the dough until you run the same process continues.

Thoroughly flushed them with our bite, and let's just wait, let out into the warm syrup. When you want to offer the service.
