Chocolate cubes with semolina


Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 300 g sugar
  • 200 g flour
  • 100 ml oil
  • 1 baking powder
  • 1 packet gelatin
  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 200 g butter
  • 750 ml milk
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons semolina
  • 200 g chocolate
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

  1. The first step in making this dessert is preparing the sponge. Beat the eggs until foamy, add the oil and continue beating. In a bowl combine together the flour and baking powder; add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and stir using a wooden spoon. Bake in pan with diameter of 30 cm until the sponge gets nice golden color.
  2. Making the filling: In a bowl on high heat add the milk along with the sugar; at the end of boiling add the semolina and set aside to cool for a while; after 5 minutes add the gelatin (previously soaked in water until doubled in volume). While the mixture is being cooled with electric mixer beat the butter with powdered sugar; pour the mixture from the pot and mix well until all the ingredients are well incorporated into one homogeneous mixture.
  3. Cut the cooled crust in two equal parts. Set the first part into the pan and add the whole fill (the fill is liquid but after several minutes in the refrigerator it hardens), and over the fill add the second crust.
  4. Set the cake in the fridge while you are making the glaze. The preparation of the glaze is very simple. Just put the butter, chocolate and milk in a pot on medium heat. When these ingredients are melted and completely dissolved and combined together pour the whole mixture over the prepared cake.
Note:

Before serving, the cake must stand in refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours.
Cut into cubes with size of your choice. If you prefer, you can also sprinkle ground brown sugar or coconut over the cubes.
Feel free to decorate in the way you want and to add the additional flavors you like.
If you liked these chocolate cubes or other dessert from Zomick's but you have no time to make some, don't worry, you can just read our cookbook and choose what you want the most!

Enjoy!

Zomick's Bagels

A first class bagel experience is something deserved these days... Zomick's has you covered with a sweet recipe for delicious bagels. Here is how it goes:

Zomick's Bagels


Yield: 12

Ingredients:

  • 600 grams plain flour
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 10 grams dried active baking yeast
  • 300 ml lukewarm water
  • 3 tablespoons butter 
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions:

  1. These little bread rings, Jewish in origin, are delicious teamed with savoury fillings. 
  2. Using the bread machine mix together 600 g flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, yeast, water and butter in the bread machine on the manual setting. Remove from bread machine.
  3. Manually: Mix 300 g of the flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and yeast. Heat water and butter to 50 degrees C. Add water to dry ingredients; beat 5 minutes at medium speed on mixer. Add 70 g flour; beat at high speed 5 minutes. Stir in more flour gradually to make stiff dough. Knead 10-13 minutes. Cover and let rise. Punch down. Cover; let rest 30 minutes.
  4. Divide the bagel dough into 12 pieces; shape 3 pieces into smooth balls. Make a 3 cm hole in each dough ball. Drop bagels into a large frying pan with water with 2 tablespoon sugar and 3 teaspoons salt in the water. Cook on medium low heat for 5 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes; turn again, cook 2 minutes more. Drain bagels on towel. Repeat the same procedure for rest of dough. Place bagels on greased baking tray. The double cooking method – first by briefly poaching in boiling water, then baking – gives bagels their unique soft crumb and slightly chewy crust.
  5. Bake at 200°C 20 to 30 minutes. Remove bagels from towels and cool. If desired, before baking, make egg was with mixing 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon water, brush on bagels, and sprinkle with sesame, poppy or caraway seeds.
