Ingredients
- 5 pieces egg
- 250 g granulated sugar
- 300 g flour
- 12 g baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla
- 1 liter milk
- 500 g milk cream
- 150 g milk powder
- 6-7 tablespoons caramel jelly or caramel sauce
Preparation
- For the cake of the Trileçe, first crack the egg whites and yolks into separate bowls. Take the whites into a deep bowl and separate the yolks.
- Whisk the egg yolks you have set aside well with a whisk. On the other hand, add 250 g sugar to the egg whites you have placed in a deep bowl, and whisk well with a mixer until they swell and turn snow white. Add the egg yolks that you whisked little by little, and continue to whisk for a while longer together with the egg white.
- Then, put flour, baking powder and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well. Pour the whisked egg mixture over it. Using a spatula, mix from bottom to top in the same direction.
- Pour the cake mixture into a large square baking dish and smooth it with the help of a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes (Baking time may vary from oven to oven).
- For the milky syrup of the Trileçe dessert, put milk powder, milk, cream and sugar into a deep pot. Place it on the stove and warm the syrup by stirring. Then take it off the stove.
- Trileçe is made with 3 different milks in its original form. The milk used in the Trileçe dessert must be a thickened milk. Buffalo milk is the most suitable for this due to its thick consistency. You can use buffalo, sheep/goat, or cow milk.
- Since finding three different types of milk (even better, without any water added, let alone water being added, the water in the milk having been heated and evaporated) is difficult, you can use milk powder to give it a thick consistency.
- Take the baked cake out of the oven and let it cool. Then, slice the cake into pieces using a knife. Slowly pour the syrup over the warm cake, letting it soak in. Let it wait in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the cake absorbs the syrup.
- On the other hand, take the caramel sauce or caramel jelly into a bowl. Pour a small amount of water over it and bring it to a boza consistency. Pour the caramel sauce over the rested cake and spread it all over. In this way, let it rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours more.
- You can serve the caramel trileçe dessert you prepared cold.
- Trileçe is a local type of dessert belonging to the Balkans. Trileçe is a light, milky dessert that is eaten cold. Trileçe is sliced into square shapes and served with caramel sauce drizzled over it.
- In order for the Trileçe dessert to be served properly, it is baked especially in flat rectangular baking dishes or trays.
