Potica is one of the most popular Slovenian traditional dishes. Why not bake it for the holidays (or just like that) with the addition of chocolate and a delicious coconut filling? Our loved ones will be grateful when we put a coconut bar with chocolate in front of them...
Potica is one of the best Slovenian dishes, but sometimes tarragon and walnuts don't smell the best to us. Why not try our recipe for Chocolate Coconut Popsicles? Finger licking!
Recipe for chocolate coconut cake
Ingredients for sourdough:
500 g of white flour
50 g chocolate powder
50 g of powdered sugar
50 g of butter
50 ml of sweet cream
1 vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon of rum
pinch of salt
200 ml of lukewarm milk
50 g of yeast
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon of sugar
Ingredients for the filling:
400 g of coconut flour
150 g of sugar
45 ml of sweet cream
3 egg whites
50 g of butter
Ingredients for coating and sprinkling:
1 egg
2-3 tablespoons of milk
icing sugar
Process:
Melt the butter and cool it. Heat the milk. Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Crumble fresh yeast into it. Sprinkle the rest of the ingredients for the yeast dough around the yeast. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer and gradually pour in slightly warmed milk while mixing. Mix until the dough is flexible and easily leaves the bowl. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise for at least half an hour. Spread the risen loaf on a floured tablecloth, knead it once more and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling, heat the oven to 190 degrees and grease the baking tray well. Put the butter, cream and sugar in a saucepan and stir the ingredients until the mixture boils. Then add coke flour, boil and set aside. While cooling, beat three egg whites until stiff. Carefully mix the coconut mixture into the snow until you get an even spread. Roll out the risen loaf of dough to a finger thick and cover with delicious coconut filling. With the help of a tablecloth, carefully and tightly roll the dough into a roll, which is then placed in a greased baking pan. Coat the potica with a coating of beaten egg, add a few spoonfuls of milk to it and prick it with a fork if desired. Place the baking tray in a heated oven for about an hour. Cool the baked potica and only then turn it out of the pan onto a serving tray. Sprinkle the potica with powdered sugar, slice and serve.
