If we want to make the fruit taste smoother, we add 2 spoonfuls of sesame paste tahini or ground roasted
sunflower seeds.
This cake is very tasty even if there is no cottage cheese because leaven dough is slightly sour itself.
Time needed for baking depends on the dough layer (ideal height is ca 1 ½ cm). It is much better to have
two lower cakes than one high.
If there is some dough left, we can fry tasty flat cakes on a pan.
We bake the cake in a hot oven for about 10 – 15 minutes first. Then we take it out, sprinkle it with
streusel, lower the temperature in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes. The streusel will not get
too dark this way. The cake is baked enough when there is a nice smell in your kitchen. Baking time will
vary according to the type of oven, so it is necessary to try it.
Leaven strudel
Leaven strudel can be made from the same dough like leaven cake. We just leave the boiled cereals out
and use less water.
Depending on if we want a sweet or a salty strudel, we use water, or cereal milk into the dough. We
make smooth dough that sticks neither to the hands, nor to the dish.
For a sweet strudel, use a mixture of sunflower and olive oil.
For a salty strudel, use olive oil and sesame oil only – depending on your taste. If you have sunflower
oil for frying at home, you can add it into all kinds of dough. Unrefined oil should not be used at
temperatures above 110 °C, so it is more suitable for salads and other cold meals. I let the dough rise for
about 1 ½ hours and then I roll it into a large plate, put filling inside, wrap it and let it rise again for a while
before baking.
