Uj Cake

This page is about the Mandolorian dish Uj Cake a dense flat cake made with crushed nuts, dried fruit puree, and syrup.

The Recipe
3 ½ cups ground almond flour ((looks kind of grainy, that's fine))

1 ½ tsp baking soda

Sift these 2 together in a large bowl & set aside.

3 room-temperature egg yolks

3 room- temprature egg whites whipped to stif peaks

1 bag bannana chips pureed

6 dried pinapple slices pureed

1 cp crushed walnuts

1/2 cp crushed hazle nuts

1½ cups syrup

1 cup UNSWEETENED thick Greek yoghurt

5 Tblsps orange (juice) concentrate.

1 ½ Tblspn grated orange zest (( the peel, not the white part))

½ cup of butter, melted. ((margarine can be used))

Preheat oven to 350 ((325 for fan-bake)) In a mixing bowl beat egg yolks well, then stir in syrup, yoghurt, OJ concentrate, melted butter and orange zest. Mix the almond flour, walnuts, hazle nuts, pureed bannana chips, and dried pinapple slices together in a large mixing bowl. Combine liquid mixture with dry, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites. Pour batter into well-greased 10 inch round baking pan..Bake until top is very golden. About 25 to 35 minutes or until a wooden skewer poked in the middle comes out clean. Cool slightly then flip out onto a plate to finish cooling. ((NOTE!!: Well-greased means really WELL-GREASED. Use baking paper, also well-greased, on the bottom of the pan. This is a syrup-based cake & will stick to a well-greased pan without baking paper. Also, you have to keep a close eye on this cake as it will go from done to burned in seconds)).
