Step by step recipe
Cake with halva, a photo of which is in this article, is prepared according to the following recipe. Beat sugar and butter for the dough. We do the same with the egg and vanilla, and then send it to the oil mixture. Whole dough is required to beat about a quarter of an hour.
Sift the flour and carefully introduce it into the dough. Lubricate the baking dish (preferably with a diameter of 22 cm) with oil. Bake cakes at 220 degrees for about ten minutes, until they become golden brown. After cooling, cut the cakes in half, you need to do this carefully, as they will crumble a lot.
Cooking souffle
For soufflé, soak gelatin in water for ten minutes. Beat butter with condensed milk until a lush mass is formed. At the very end, pour a tablespoon of lemon juice and pre-ground halva.
In order to cook the syrup, put sugar and water on a minimum fire. Without letting the mixture boil, we wait until all the sugar has dissolved. As soon as this happened, increase the heat on the stove and bring the future syrup to a boil. It should boil no more than 10 minutes.
During this time, beat the chilled proteins with half a tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. In a thin stream we introduce syrup into them, without stopping whipping. Beat with a mixer for another 10 minutes to make the mass viscous and dense.
Dissolve the gelatin in a water bath, introduce the protein mass into it, and then mix with halva, whisk again. You should get a homogeneous mass.
Now collect the cake. We coat the cakes with souffle. We remove the cake in a cool place so that it freezes. During this time, prepare the icing. In a microwave or in a water bath you need to melt the chocolate, and then add it to the butter.
At the end, cover our delicacy with glaze. When it hardens, dessert can be served at the table.
