Alongside the fluffy christmas cake, the Christmas cake also belongs on the festive table. The goodness full of nuts, raisins, almonds and candied fruit needs a couple of weeks to set, so its just the right time to start baking. For a Christmas shaft you need: 500 g plain flour2 eggs, lemon zest150 g butter (you can substitute 120 g Hera and 50 g lard)150 g sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder, pinch of salt150 g sour cream250 g cottage cheese (if you use vanilla, you will have to sprinkle more when rolling)100 g raisins (adjust the amount to your taste)120 g roughly chopped walnuts and almonds50-100 g candied fruit or lemon and orange peel (or dried apricots, cranberries, etc. ) How to make it: 1. All the ingredients for the dough should be at room temperature. Sift the flour, stir in the salt and baking powder, you can also add the zest of 1 small lemon. Then add the other ingredients and work out a smooth dough. When its ready, add the raisins (pre-soaked in rum if you like), nuts, almonds and candied or dried fruit, all chopped into smaller pieces. 2. Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured rolling pin and fold = wrap (the dough should resemble Santa Claus wrapped in diapers) 3. The dough is enough for one large shaft, or divide it and form two rolls. In this case, keep an eye on the length of the baking time and take less time. 4. Shape the prepared dough into an oval loaf and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper, but you can also put it in a greased biscuit tin. Bake in an oven preheated to 170-180 °C for approximately 40 minutes. Always go by your oven experience, it is better to bake at a lower temperature and for longer. 5. Immediately after baking, brush the still-hot stout with melted butter and dont skimp! You can even mix in a little rum. Then sprinkle the loaf well with icing sugar, dont be afraid to literally coat it. Wrap the finished schola nicely in foil and refrigerate it for at least 2-3 weeks. Ideally, you should make two loaves one to keep for Christmas, the other for immediate tasting. TIP: Josef Maršálek, a well-known pastry chef, pours a lemon glaze of 120 g of icing sugar and 30 g of lemon juice over the top of the cooled loaf and decorates it with pieces of candied fruit.The post Christmas cheesecake tart – simple recipe without rising first appeared on WeAreCrafting.com.
