The nua cake is a delicious dessert that went viral on the web a few years ago with a soft base and filled with blobs of creams, the classic egg one and dark and/or milk chocolate!
It is an easy-to-make dessert that is baked with the cream inside the dough, to be enjoyed at any time of the day from breakfast to snack time and maybe even for dessert after dinner, why not?!
On the web, you will find a hundred different recipes for the base dough and for the custard, and if you have your own family recipe that you are fond of, feel free to skip mine and prepare it with your personal measurements..
A hug to all… today I went to a nursery while doing the grocery shopping and I try in every way to stay connected to the passing time, to the spring that already sees all the buds ready to bloom on the trees outside my house… LET’S NOT GIVE UP, LET’S STAY HOME, AND EVEN IF EVERYTHING AFTER THE CORONAVIRUS, WILL NOT BE THE SAME ANYMORE … WE RESIST AND STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE NUA CAKE RECIPE

  • First, you need to prepare the creams because once cold or lukewarm, they will be added to the base dough of the cake.

    For the “yellow” cream you need to blend all the indicated ingredients together with an electric whisk; then pour the mixture obtained into a saucepan and over low heat, thicken everything to a “thick cream”.

  • Once cold, divide it into two parts and to one add the two melted chocolates in a double boiler or microwave, mixing everything perfectly. Having prepared the creams for the NUA cake which should cool with plastic wrap in contact, it’s time to proceed with the base preparation.

  • Always with the whisk, beat the eggs and sugar, add the seeds from the vanilla pod.

  • Add the vegetable oil in a stream without stopping beating, then the milk, and after one last stir to better blend, we can turn off the blender.

    Finally, add the sifted flour with the baking powder and perfectly combine everything together.

  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 340°F and oil and flour a pan with a diameter of 9.5-10.5 inches.

    Pour the base mixture just made into it and add spoonfuls of the two creams alternately.

  • Bake at 340°F and cook for 45 minutes until the cake is nicely colored and if it browns too much, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil. Enjoy and have a great day with the NUA CAKE!
