Litla skúffukaka með kókos

Small chocolate sheet cake with coconut

I've read about Marc from "Bake to the Roots " blog event Re-Create several times recently in various food blogs. The aim of the campaign (on the occasion of the 3rd birthday of his blog) is to become aware of his own development in his blog and to document this development. The event runs until February 18, 2017.

I find the topic really exciting... so I picked out one of my first recipes and "remodeled" the whole thing a bit and re-photographed it.

The classic Skúffukaka is THE typical Icelandic chocolate sheet cake that can be found almost everywhere in a wide variety of variations. For a change, I decided on a smaller recipe, with coconut flakes on the chocolate icing and, so to speak, to "emphasize" the coconut note, also with coconut flour. And with Skyr. But other than that I haven't changed much! :-)

Ingredients

300 g coconut flour

240 g brown sugar

60 g cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

120 g vanilla skyr

60 g melted margarine

60 g hot water

2 eggs

Ingredients for the casting

240 g powdered sugar

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

20 g melted margarine

1 tsp vanilla flavor

3 Tbsp hot coffee

2 Tbsp coconut flakes

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the dough together with a spoon..

...then add the wet ingredients one after the other and knead everything into a smooth dough.

Place in a small baking pan (approx. 20 x 20 cm) lined with baking paper, press firmly and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 20 to 25 minutes.

When the cake is fully baked, take it out of the oven and start icing:

Mix the powdered sugar with the cocoa powder, then add the melted margarine, vanilla flavoring and hot coffee.

Cover the still warm cake with the icing...

...sprinkle directly with the coconut flakes and then allow to cool thoroughly.

So here's an overview: My Skúffukaka photos through the ages (2014 - 2016 - 2017). Although I now see a lot more in the current photos that still bothers me than before. :-)

In any case, many thanks to Marc for the great blog event, it was a nice impetus to get back to my “blog roots”!
