American Dessert VERY EASY and DELICIOUS, which is prepared without eggs, butter, milk and yeast! http://www.my-personaltrainer.it/Tv/R... Ingredients Recipe 200 g of type 0 white flour 150 g of brown sugar 40 g of bitter cocoa 5 g of baking soda 50 ml of corn oil 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or vinegar 250 ml of water 1 pinch of salt Preparation Torta Matta - Crazy Cake Without Eggs, Butter, Milk, Yeast Some curiosities Torta matta was born in America, and was invented during the economic depression because housewives did not have the classic ingredients used for desserts (eggs, butter, milk). For this reason, the dessert was called "crazy cake": it will be perfect for a healthy and light breakfast or snack. 1. Preheat the oven to 160 ° C (in fan mode). 2. In a bowl, sift the type 0 flour with the brown sugar (or granulated sugar) and the bitter cocoa. Mix the powders together, adding the water, seed oil and a pinch of salt. Some alternatives The torta matta was created using type 0 flour: however, it is possible to replicate the recipe using wholemeal flour although, in this case, the cake will be less high and less soft. 3. In a small bowl, prepare the leavening agent: mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar: a persistent foam will form which will serve to make the dough rise. Did you know that… Vinegar is essential to trigger the leavening reaction: in fact, to be activated, the baking soda must be combined with an acid (wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar or simple lemon juice). The flavour of the vinegar will not be perceived at the end of cooking. 4. Add this mixture to the dough and work it all with a wooden spoon or a small bowl to dissolve all the lumps. 5. Pour the mixture into a 20 cm diameter springform pan and bake at 160°C for 30-35 minutes: it is advisable to do the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven. 6. The torta matta can be served simply with icing sugar or, for a more delicious version, it can be filled with cream and covered with chocolate ganache. ************ Follow Alice's Video Recipes on MypersonaltrainerTv: http://www.my-personaltrainer.it/Tv/R...
