St. Petersburg Muffin Cake

  1. First I cut into small peaces my candied fruits, u can add raisins if u like, but I usually stick to pineapple, papaya, cranberries....
  2. Then I took some nuts, put them in the microwave for less then a minute, gave them some time to cool down, and crushed with an ancient hand grater.
  3. U can actually fry the nuts, I just used the easier way.
  4. Butter was taken out of the fridge some time ago to be soft, but I forgot to do that, so also melted it a bit in microwave, I had one solid peace, so just some 40 seconds.
  5. It anyway started to melt a bit, but while I made things ready it hardened back.
  6. I cut it into small peaces for it to continue melting.
  7. P.s.
  8. Butter shouldn't be liquid.
  9. It's my little mistake.
  10. Sift the flour, with baking powder, soda and vanilla sugar.
  11. I do that to add fluffiness
  12. Divide the whites and the yolks ....
  13. In the mixer whip the whites with the half of the sugar.
  14. Make it a good thick foam.
  15. Put in the fridge.
  16. Then whip the yolks with the rest of sugar into creamy white texture, add budget, continue mixing and then add sour cream.
  17. The texture might seam a bit weird... Don't whip that for long, otherwise sour cream might loose water and it will become less creamy.
  18. Pick a bigger dish and carefully, better with a plastic or wooden spoon mix the whites with the yolk mix.
  19. Don't do it too fanatic, because bit by bit u should start adding flour, and carefully mix.
  20. U will hear bubbles of foam ...
  21. The dough should be quite sticky.
  22. I added all flour in 4 goes.
  23. Somewhere between flour I added the fruits and nuts.
  24. Smear the form with butter and sprinkle with breaking.
  25. Since the dough will be quite thick, u should put it carefully in the form.
  26. And don't try to make it super even, it will anyway melt evenly.
  27. And strange step, but even my granny did so, U should cut the dough...
  28. Yes, u got me right, just cut that raw dough.
  29. Oven must be heated up to 200C.
  30. When heated, the cake goes in.
  31. And just calm down.
  32. I put it on lower place.
  33. I watched it, so 25 min it was turned on lower heat, then some 10 on upper+lower, and some 5 minutes on upper for color.
  34. I checked it with a wooden stick, if it's ready.
  35. When out, don't keep it for long in form, so it doesn't absorb humidity.
