Do you remember the punch cake slices from your grandmother? Surely your grandmother also made them, for example for fairs, birthdays, Christmas and other festive occasions. Are you tempted to make such a dessert because you just felt like it or because you have a celebration coming up? Either way, we have a recipe for you to bake punch cake slices exactly the way your grandmother used to make them – simply perfect!
What you will need
- eggs 2 pieces
- egg yolks 4 pieces
- powdered sugar 150 grams
- lemon zest
- egg whites 4 pieces
- apricot jam – optional
- flour 200 grams
Preparation method
Mix two whole eggs with four yolks, the sugar and the grated zest of one lemon. Mix all the ingredients with a hand mixer for at least fifteen minutes. You will end up with a light yellow foam. Now add the flour to the bowl and beat the egg whites into stiff peaks. Once the egg white foam is ready, mix the yolk mixture with the flour, stir and then add the stiff egg whites. Gently fold and bake on a greased and pre-dusted baking sheet.
Step two
Once the batter is baked, take it out of the pan – turn it out and cut it lengthwise into three equal layers. Spread two layers with apricot jam and prepare the filling. For it you will need:
- powdered sugar 150 grams
- sponge biscuits 150 grams
- lemon juice
- ground walnuts 150 grams
- chocolate 50 grams
- rum 1 dcl
Heat the juice, rum and powdered sugar. Then add the grated or crushed sponge biscuits and the ground walnuts. Mix the filling well and grate the chocolate into it. Mix well again. Now fill the apricot-jam-coated layers with the prepared filling and assemble the layers. The top piece will be the layer that you will coat with glaze. For the glaze you will need 260 grams of powdered sugar, two tablespoons of boiling water and two tablespoons of rum. Mix everything and set aside for a few minutes. Then pour over the entire cake. Place in the refrigerator and cut only the next day.
