Frangipani Tart
… with chocolate and cherries. From time to time I peep out here with some sweet goods …
Ingredients for the pastry:
90 gr of margarine
100 gr of of icing sugar cane (or finely ground sugar)
250 gr of cake flour
soy milk, as needed
Ingredients for the filling:
90 gr of margarine
120 gr of brown sugar
125 gr of almond flour
20 gr of allpurpose flour
30 gr of unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tablespoons of soy milk
10 gr of baking powder
150 gr of dark chocolate
150 gr of sour cherries in syrup (made by my mum 😉 )
Method:
Mix the ingredients for the pastry with a little milk and store in the fridge for half an hour. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: first, cut the cherries in halves and chop the chocolate, then set them aside. For the frangipane: whip margarine and sugar, then add milk and then dry ingredients. The mixture shouldn’t be too runny. Take back the dough for the pastry and lay it in 24 diam a cake tin; distribute chocolate and cherries on the bottom and pour the frangipane over. Be careful when you stretch it: being very dense, you risk to “drag” the ingredients you laid on the bottom. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes. Actually, I have no idea of how the original frangipani should be (I just tried to replace 2 eggs with milk and baking powder)… but I know this cake is delicious! In fact, I’m thinking how to replace cherries, if I wanted to do it again when my mum’s will be finished, or if I should offer it to someone who doesn’t like them… although, to be honest, cherries themselves give that touch of bitterness which contrasts with the rest!

Frangipani…I’ve heard of it somewhere. seems yummy, does it have a sort of crumble texture?
never heard about frangipani, but never mind… whatever it is must be deliciuous
No,it isn’t like a crumble,it rather seems a sponge cake. It’s very delicious thanks to melted chocolate on the bottom too!!!
right! so basically it absorbs very well the flavours. mmmhhh interesting 🙂
