    Directions:

      1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with salt, black pepper, paprika, dry garlic, and vegetable oil. Mix well to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
      1. Bake the Chicken Wings: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the chicken wings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 minutes.
      2. Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are baking, mix together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
      3. Apply the Sauce: After 25 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (428°F) and bake for an additional 10 minutes using convection mode for a crispy finish.

    TIPS AND TRICKS

      1. Marinating Time: For even more flavorful wings, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat deeply.
      1. Crisping the Wings: For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
      2. Alternative Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like chili powder, cumin, or smoked paprika to give your wings a unique twist.
      3. Healthy Options: For a healthier version, you can bake the wings on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows excess fat to drip off, resulting in less greasy wings.
      1. Serving Suggestions: Serve these wings and potatoes with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal.
      2. Potato Varieties: You can use different types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes or Yukon Golds for a different flavor and texture.
      3. Leftover Sauce: If you have leftover sauce, use it as a dip for the wings or as a marinade for another batch of chicken.
    1. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
    2. Garnishing: Garnish the wings and potatoes with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
    3. Cooking in Advance: You can prepare the potatoes and season the wings in advance. When ready to eat, just bake everything according to the directions.

    The Famous Cake That Drives You Crazy: A Grandmother’s Secret Recipe

    The Famous Cake That Drives You Crazy: A Grandmother’s Secret Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Cream:

    • 1 egg
    • 50 g (1.7 oz) caster sugar
    • 10 g (0.4 oz) vanilla sugar
    • 15 g (0.5 oz) cornstarch
    • 250 ml (1 cup) milk

    For the Dough:

    • 2 eggs
    • 100 g (3.5 oz) caster sugar
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 100 ml (3.5 fl oz) milk
    • 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) sunflower oil
    • 170 g (6 oz) flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder (4 g)
    • 50 g (1.7 oz) ground almonds
    • 50 g (1.7 oz) almond flakes
    • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Preparation of the Cream

    Creating the smooth, velvety cream is the first step in building this incredible dessert. This cream will not only infuse the cake with a luscious flavor but also keep it moist and delectable.

    1. Whisk Together the Ingredients
      Start by cracking the egg into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the caster sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch. Pour in the milk, and whisk the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and smooth. You want the mixture to be free of lumps, ensuring a silky texture for your cream.
    2. Cook the Cream
      Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously with a whisk or spatula to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As it heats, the cream will begin to thicken. This usually takes about 5–7 minutes, but be patient—it’s important to avoid high heat to prevent curdling.
    3. Cool the Cream
      Once the cream has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Pour the cream into a glass bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate the cream until needed.

    Preparation of the Dough

    The dough is light, fluffy, and enriched with almonds, adding a nutty richness that contrasts beautifully with the sweet, smooth cream. Follow these detailed steps to ensure your dough is perfect.

    1. Beat the Eggs and Sugar
      In a large mixing bowl, break the eggs and add the caster sugar and a pinch of salt. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for about 3–4 minutes. The mixture should turn pale, foamy, and increase in volume. This aeration is essential for a light and airy cake texture.
    2. Add Milk and Oil
      Slowly pour the milk and sunflower oil into the egg mixture, continuing to mix on medium speed. Incorporate these liquids gradually to maintain the airy structure of the batter. The milk adds moisture, while the oil contributes to the cake’s tenderness.
    3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
      Sift the flour and baking powder directly into the wet mixture. This step helps avoid clumps in the batter and ensures even distribution of the baking powder. Add the ground almonds, and fold everything together gently using a silicone spatula. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined, being careful not to overmix.

    Baking the Cake

    With both your cream and dough prepared, it’s time to assemble and bake this delightful cake. This step is where the magic happens, as the cream melds with the dough to create a perfect harmony of textures and flavors.

    1. Prepare the Baking Dish
      Line a rectangular baking dish (approximately 9×13 inches) with parchment paper. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan and makes it easier to remove after baking.
    2. Pour the Dough
      Pour the prepared dough into the lined baking dish, and spread it out evenly using a spatula. The batter should form a smooth, level layer.
    3. Top with Almond Flakes
      Sprinkle the almond flakes evenly over the surface of the dough. These will add a lovely crunch and a toasted almond flavor, complementing the softer, ground almonds in the batter.
    4. Add the Cream
      By now, your cream should be completely cool. Transfer it into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe a mesh or grid pattern of cream over the surface of the dough, pressing lightly as you go to ensure the cream integrates with the cake during baking.
    5. Bake the Cake
      Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the cake in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the cake in the final minutes to avoid overbaking.

    Finishing Touches

    Once the cake is baked to perfection, it’s time for the final touches that make this dessert truly special.

    1. Cool and Transfer
      Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully lift the cake out using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    2. Dust with Powdered Sugar
      Once the cake has cooled completely, dust the top with powdered sugar. This not only adds a touch of sweetness but also enhances the cake’s visual appeal, giving it a delicate and inviting finish.
    3. Serve and Enjoy
      Slice the cake into generous squares or rectangles. Each piece will reveal a beautiful contrast between the creamy filling and the tender almond cake. Serve immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy it with coffee, tea, or as a stand-alone dessert!

    Instructions
    Activate the Yeast

    In a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the yeast to rise. Meanwhile, place the butter in the freezer.

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Add the activated yeast mixture, warm water, and ⅓ cup of oil. Stir until you get a smooth batter.

    Knead the Dough

    Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until you have a dough that does not stick to your hands. Once the dough is ready, brush it with the rest of the oil. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for an hour.

    Roll Out the Dough

    After the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and roll it out on a floured work surface. Grate the frozen butter all over the dough, then carefully roll it up. Divide the rolled dough into 5 equal parts.
