Fruit cake

If I am going to change professionals, I would like to be either a painter, a chef, an interior designer or a zoo keeper :-) Saturday's party cake "forced" me to make one of mine own.

This fruit cake differs from usual cake, it doesn't require any baking. Instead it is mainly formed in the fridge. The process is not complicated, just takes few steps. We need following items:

Bottom

• 200g wheat cookies (kokojyväkeksejä) 麦子类的饼干
  
• 100g melted margarine (sulatettua margariinia) 溶化的黄油
  

Filling

• 4 agar (liivatelehteä) 洋菜
• 2tlk quark/curd cheese (rahkaa) 凝乳
• 1/2dl sugar (sokeria) 糖
  
• 1tl vanilla sugar (vaniljasokeria) 香草糖
• 200g white chocolate (valkosuklaata) 白巧克力
  
• 2dl whipping cream (kuohukermaa) 奶油
• 2rkl lemon juice (sitruunamehua) 柠檬汁
  

Top

• 4dl berries (marjoa) 浆果
  
• 3dl any suitable reddish juice (punaista sokeroitua ja sopivaksi laimennettua mehua) 红色的果汁
  
• 5 agar (liivatelehteä) 洋菜

Put agar into cold water, let them fully soaked. Add one piece of baking paper at the bottom of cake module.

Crash the cookies, put melted margarine, mix throughly. Lay the mixture into the module, press to a flat and even surface layer. Place the module to the fridge.

Melt the white chocolate with low temperature. Squeeze agar to remove unnecessary water. Put them into melted chocolate. Add few table spoons of hot boiling water, slowly mix with chocolate and agar. Once finished, leave it cool to room temperature.

Beat the whipping cream to foam. Mix throughly with sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon juice, curd cheese, and chocolate mixture. Insert the filling to the module. Remain in the fridge for few hours.

Finally place berries on top of the filling. Boil the juice with agar leaves, leave it cool. Pour the juice mixutre onto the filling. Place the cake into fridge for another few hours.

If you have done any cheese cake, the process is pretty much the same. Hmm, I believe I will put bit less berries or more fillings next time.

It's time to have a cup of tea!
