Cyprus Dessert (Delicious)? This recipe, which is in dozens of people's cookbooks, and...
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla
- 2.5 cups water
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 liter milk
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 packet whipped cream mix
Preparation
- First, let’s make the syrup: Mix the water and sugar thoroughly and bring to a boil.
- Once it starts boiling, if it has thickened after 15–20 minutes, add the lemon juice. Boil for a little longer, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Now let’s move on to making the cake. Beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer for 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetable oil and the remaining ingredients, then mix well.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, smooth the top, and bake in a 180-degree oven.
- 10 minutes after removing the cake from the oven, poke holes all over it with a toothpick, pour the cooled syrup over the cake, and let it soak in.
- Now for the cream: Cook all the ingredients—except for the vanilla and whipped cream—while whisking constantly.
- Once the cream is cooked, add the whipped cream and vanilla, then beat with a mixer for 5 minutes.
- Spread the cream over the dessert that has absorbed the syrup. Let the dessert rest in the refrigerator—preferably overnight, or for 3–4 hours if you’re short on time—before serving.
