Not everyone knows that combining orange with coffee can make a delicious dessert. Here’s how to do it.
Sometimes, during the day, either after lunch or dinner or even when we need to snack on something good and that takes away our desire to bite something, we tend to consume sweets. Many times, out of laziness or because we don’t have many ingredients at home, we tend to buy prepared snacks sold in the supermarket even though these may contain preservatives.
Orange and coffee: the combination you never expected
Their use during the week is not entirely wrong, because some of them can be healthy and the sugar supply to our body and brain is useful for carrying out actions throughout the day. Sometimes, however, we find ourselves without these snacks and we want to prepare a genuine dessert with some ingredients we have at home, but we do not always know which ones to use and which ones to combine.
Not everyone, however, knows that there are two ingredients that seem to be very far from each other, due to their completely opposite flavours, but that combined can be something very delicious. We are talking about oranges and coffee, and a very simple recipe that gives life to a cake that will surely make the taste buds jump with joy and that could also be an excellent dessert for a dinner with friends.
The recipe
First of all we need to get three nice oranges and make sure they are fragrant and then peel them by cutting them into small pieces placing them in a bowl. Once this is done, using an immersion blender, we are going to crush our oranges while in a separate bowl we break three eggs to which we add 160 grams of sugar and a glass of vegetable oil of about 200 ml . We combine everything and then add 200 ml of milk and grate some orange zest into this mixture. Once this is done, once you have a creamy mixture, add the previously blended oranges . Using a whisk, combine everything very gently and sift 360 grams of flour and a sachet of baking powder inside, which is equivalent to about 10 grams of product and continue.
Next, grease a baking tray with half a tablespoon of butter that should be well spread and half a tablespoon of flour and then insert part of the mixture obtained making at least 1/4 of it remain in the bowl . Once placed in the pan, spread it well, and in the remaining mixture in the bowl add 15 grams of coffee and then insert this new mixture into the pan, forming small circles here and there on the previous mixture. This should be baked for at least 40 minutes at 170 ° and then, when we remove it from our appliance, it should be sprinkled with 300 ml of milk , using a teaspoon and grated coconut should be sprinkled on top. Once everything has cooled, the cake is cut into squares and served and we can see how the chromatic difference can be captivating to the eye but above all to the palate.
